Our Mission
Reflection’s mission is to build open superintelligence and make it accessible to all.
We’re developing open weight models for individuals, agents, enterprises, and even nation states. Our team of AI researchers and company builders come from DeepMind, OpenAI, Google Brain, Meta, Character.AI, Anthropic and beyond.
The Roles Mission
Bridge the gap between research and production by turning cutting-edge algorithms into scalable training systems. You will design and optimize the core infrastructure behind frontier AI models — from reinforcement learning training loops and distributed GPU training to massive-scale data pipelines.
Our systems train models across thousands of GPUs and process petabyte-scale datasets. We care deeply about numerical stability, throughput, and reproducibility.
What This Team Does
This team owns and evolves the core infrastructure behind our training systems.
We focus on:
Reinforcement learning training infrastructure
Distributed training and inference systems
Experiment infrastructure and reproducibility
Large-scale data pipelines
The goal is to build the engineering foundation that allows researchers to iterate quickly while training models at massive scale.
About the Role
You will architect and optimize the core training infrastructure that powers our models. This includes RL training loops, distributed GPU systems, and large-scale data pipelines.
You will work closely with researchers to transform new ideas into reliable, scalable training systems.
Responsibilities include:
Designing and optimizing large-scale training loops and data pipelines.
Implementing state-of-the-art techniques and ensuring they are numerically stable and computationally efficient.
Building internal tooling for launching, monitoring, and reproducing complex experiments.
Diagnosing deep bottlenecks across the training stack (GPU memory issues, communication overhead, dataloader stalls).
Translating research prototypes into reusable, production-grade infrastructure.
What You'll Work With
Distributed Training
GPU parallelism (data, tensor, pipeline, expert)
Large-scale distributed training infrastructure
Communication optimization (NCCL, RDMA, GPU interconnects)
FSDP / ZeRO and model sharding
Orchestration & Runtime Systems
Ray, Kubernetes, Slurm
Distributed runtimes and async systems
Containerization and sandboxing
Frameworks
