About the role

Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world engineering input. No prior experience in AI is required-your domain knowledge and hands-on production experience are what matter.

As an expert, you will create Reinforcement Learning Environments that test an AI model’s ability to design, deploy, troubleshoot, secure, scale, and recover production-grade cloud infrastructure. You will develop realistic scenarios involving distributed systems, networking, IAM, queues, durable storage, observability, rolling deployments, and disaster recovery, then build reproducible environments, deterministic validation tests, golden reference solutions, and intentionally defective variants.

Apply to the role, filling out the screening questions.

Responsibilities

  • Create realistic cloud infrastructure tasks involving distributed systems, networking, security, scalability, and reliability.
  • Build reproducible, containerized environments with valid reference solutions and intentionally defective variants.
  • Define measurable requirements across infrastructure configuration, deployed topology, and runtime behavior.
  • Develop deterministic integration, load, security, failure-injection, deployment, and recovery tests.
  • Debug environments, document technical decisions, and review tasks created by other experts.

Required skills
