AI Research Scientist — Reasoning, Memory & Alignment

Meta; Seattle (WA); On-site; USD 180,000 - 260,000; Full time

Job summary

Meta in Seattle seeks AI Researchers to join the FAIR RAM team, pursuing curiosity-driven research in reasoning, memory, alignment, and agentic learning with industry-scale resources and open results.

The role blends pure research and research-to-product work, with opportunities to publish at top venues, collaborate across Meta's AI research ecosystems, and develop scalable methods for long-horizon RL and memory architectures.

Qualifications

• Define and drive research agendas in reasoning, memory, alignment, and agentic learning.
• Design and run large-scale experiments to test novel algorithmic ideas, including long-horizon RL, self-supervised objectives, and tool-using agents.
• Develop new methods for scalable alignment - self-alignment, self-improvement, and co-improvement loops that reduce dependence on human-annotated supervision.
• Invent and evaluate new memory architectures and techniques for models that reason over long contexts and extended horizons.
• Conduct cutting-edge fundamental AI research, publishing at top-tier venues, and contribute to the research community through reviewing, talks, and collaboration.
• Partner closely with other fundamental research teams in MSL, and research-to-product teams in other pillars.
