Research Engineer, Synthetic Data

ABOUT THE ROLE Join a research and engineering team building synthetic data systems for AI agents. You will develop methods and infrastructure that turn real-world workflows into high-quality training tasks, helping expand and evaluate model capabilities. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Build pipelines that transform domain-specific workflows into realistic, structured, and challenging synthetic training tasks. - Collaborate with subject-matter experts to create tasks across professional and technical domains. - Design methods for generating diverse, realistic, and learnable tasks. - Develop tools to mutate, validate, and improve synthetic tasks. - Analyze model and agent performance to understand task effectiveness and identify failure modes. - Create metrics to assess task diversity, realism, learnability, and overall quality. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - Two or more years of experience in software engineering, machine learning engineering, or AI research, with a technical background. - Hands-on experience applying synthetic data methods to build end-to-end data generation pipelines for AI or machine learning. - Proficiency in Python, Linux, and containerization tools such as Docker. - Experience with evaluation frameworks, benchmarks, or testing environments for AI agents or large language models. - Understanding of synthetic data quality, evaluation metrics, and limitations, backed by research or production work. - Experience building automated systems to generate, validate, mutate, or process structured data at scale. - Ability to own technical projects from conception through delivery in loosely defined problem spaces. - Strong attention to detail, communication skills, and ability to reason about task design, scoring, and edge cases. - Familiarity with reinforcement learning, agent workflows, or LLM post-training is helpful. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS Annual salary range: $100,000 to $170,000 USD. Visa sponsorship is available. LOCATION On-site in Singapore, Singapore.
