About the role

  • About Centific Centific is a frontier AI data foundry that curates diverse, high-quality data, using our purpose-built technology platforms to empower the Magnificent Seven and our enterprise clients with safe, scalable AI deployment.
  • Our team includes more than 150 PhDs and data scientists, along with more than 4,000 AI practitioners and engineers.
  • Our zero-distance innovation™ solutions for GenAI can reduce GenAI costs by up to 80% and bring solutions to market 50% faster.

Requirements

  • Strong Python and PyTorch skills with GPU-based training experience
  • Experience with LLMs and post-training techniques (RLHF, DPO, PPO, etc.)

Nice to have

  • Experience with RL environments (Gymnasium, RLlib, Stable Baselines)
  • Research in offline RL, model-based RL, or hierarchical RL
  • Publications at top ML conferences ( NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL)
  • Experience with simulation, synthetic data, or multi-agent systems
  • Distributed training and large-scale experimentation
  • RL libraries (Gymnasium, RLlib, Stable Baselines)
  • APIs/services ( FastAPI, gRPC)
  • optimization (ONNX, TensorRT)

Skills

  • PyTorch, CUDA; RL libraries (Gymnasium, RLlib, Stable Baselines)
  • LLM frameworks and post-training tools (TRL, custom RLHF pipelines)
  • Experiment tracking (Weights & Biases)
  • APIs/services ( FastAPI, gRPC); optimization (ONNX, TensorRT)
  • Duration: 3-6 months
  • End-to-end RL pipelines for agentic systems (simulation → training → evaluation)
  • Alignment of LLM-based agents using RLHF, DPO, PPO, and emerging methods
  • Design of reward functions, verifiers, and evaluation frameworks
  • Simulation environments (digital twins) for enterprise workflows
  • Scalable training and inference for RL-based systems
  • Prototype an agentic system with tool use and multi-step reasoning, integrated with RL training
