Job summary

Oureon Technologies, Inc. in Austin, TX is seeking an AI Engineer specializing in reinforcement learning to architect and deploy the intelligence layer for our autonomy software.

You will design, train, and integrate RL-based decision systems that operate in real-time across dynamic environments. The role emphasizes production-grade Python and Rust, simulation-to-real transfer, and collaboration with autonomy and systems engineers to ensure safe, scalable deployment.

Qualifications

• Deep understanding of reinforcement learning, control optimization, and sequential decision-making.
• Proficiency in Python for experimentation and Rust for production deployment.
• Experience building and tuning RL algorithms (policy gradient, actor-critic, Q-learning, PPO, SAC).
• Strong grasp of simulation environments, reward shaping, and training stability techniques.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement reinforcement learning frameworks for autonomy decision-making and control.
• Develop and optimize policy learning, reward modeling, and environment simulation for multi-agent systems.
• Build training pipelines that scale across simulation and real-world telemetry data.
• Collaborate with autonomy and systems engineers to deploy models into live control layers.
• Implement safe exploration, policy evaluation, and deployment validation mechanisms.
• Profile and optimize learning performance across distributed compute and cloud environments.
• Translate models into real-time inference modules within the autonomy stack.
• Participate in architecture reviews to align RL with autonomy goals.
