Founding RL Delivery Lead

Morpheus Talent Solutions; New York (NY); On-site; USD 180,000 - 225,000; Full time

Job summary

Morpheus Talent Solutions is hiring a Founding Strategic Project Lead to own lab-facing delivery, expanding relationships with frontier labs and turning engagements into shipped RL environments, gym artifacts, and post-training datasets.

You will coordinate RL environment design, reward/ verifier specs, and data pipelines, working directly with ML researchers, clinicians, and domain experts in a fast-moving startup, with high autonomy and impact.

Qualifications

• Proven track record delivering complex technical projects to frontier AI labs.
• Experience with RL environments, evaluation, or post-training deliverables.
• Ability to work in a small startup with high ambiguity.
• Strong written communication with technical stakeholders.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end execution across lab engagements: scoping, timelines, milestones, risks, and delivery of RL environments and post-training data artifacts
• Be customer-facing with frontier lab stakeholders: run cadence, align on RL environment specs and acceptance criteria, and communicate progress clearly
• Translate ambiguous lab asks into concrete workstreams: RL environment/gym spec, reward and verifier design, task library plan, QC plan, and delivery roadmap
• Drive "quick-hit" pilots: deliver small, high-quality sample RL environments or post-training data slices early to prove fit and de-risk full delivery
• Coordinate cross-functionally across ML/RL researchers, environment engineers, and clinicians/domain experts to ship complex, multi-step projects on time and at frontier-lab quality
• Build and enforce delivery quality systems for RL environments and datasets: definition-of-done checklists, verifier/reward QC gates, auditability, versioning, and postmortems
• Help convert successful deliveries into expanded scopes and longer-term contracts with frontier labs
