Founding Strategic Projects Lead for AI RL Labs

Morpheus Talent Solutions; New York (NY); Hybrid; USD 200,000 - 250,000; Full time

Job summary

Morpheus Talent Solutions partners with an early-stage startup building the evaluation and training infrastructure for autonomous healthcare AI, including high-fidelity RL training gyms and real-world workflows.

The Founding Strategic Project Lead will own lab-facing delivery across frontier lab relationships, turning early engagements into shipped RL environments, gym artifacts, and post-training datasets that drive larger contracts.

Qualifications

• Experience delivering complex technical projects to frontier AI labs (prefer RL environments or post-training deliverables).
• Understanding of RL environments: reward design, verifiers, environments/tasks.
• Familiarity with post-training data pipelines (RLHF/RLAIF-like processes).
• Ability to turn ambiguity into structured goals, scope, and milestones.
• Comfort operating in a small startup with limited process.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end execution across lab engagements: scoping, timelines, milestones, risk, and delivery of RL environments and post-training data artifacts
• Be the customer-facing lead for frontier lab stakeholders — running cadence, aligning on environment specs and acceptance criteria
• Translate ambiguous lab asks into concrete workstreams: environment/gym spec, reward and verifier design, task library plan, QC plan, delivery roadmap
• Drive "quick-hit" pilots that prove fit and de-risk full delivery
• Coordinate across ML/RL researchers, environment engineers, and domain experts to ship complex projects at frontier-lab quality
• Build and enforce delivery quality systems — definition-of-done checklists, QC gates, auditability, versioning, postmortems
• Help convert successful deliveries into expanded scopes and longer-term contracts
