Remote Reinforcement Learning Engineer — Production-Ready

Bright Vision Technologies; Richardson (TX); On-site; USD 100,000 - 150,000; Full time

Job summary

Bright Vision Technologies is seeking a seasoned Machine Learning Engineer - RL to design, train, and deploy reinforcement learning systems for complex, real-time decision making.

The role requires deep RL knowledge, experience with simulation environments, reward shaping, and deploying scalable training pipelines in production.

Remote in the United States offers tremendous growth potential and the chance to work with cross-functional teams on high-impact, industry-leading projects.

Qualifications

• Master's or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related field; or equivalent applied experience.
• Six+ years of RL research and engineering experience.
• Strong proficiency in Python and modern deep learning frameworks.
• Hands-on experience with at least one major RL library or in-house RL stack.
• Solid understanding of probability, optimization, and RL theory.
• Experience designing and tuning reward functions in non-trivial environments.
• Familiarity with simulation environments and large-scale experience collection.
• Experience training neural network policies on GPU clusters.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Track record of shipping or publishing impactful RL work.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement reinforcement learning solutions for sequential decision-making problems in real and simulated environments.
• Develop, calibrate, and maintain simulation environments suitable for large-scale agent training.
• Implement and evaluate modern RL algorithms including policy gradient, actor-critic, off-policy, and offline RL methods.
• Engineer reward functions and shaping strategies that align agent behavior with desired outcomes and safety constraints.
• Apply offline RL and imitation learning techniques where exploration is costly or unsafe.
• Use RLHF, DPO, and related techniques for fine-tuning large language models when relevant.
• Build scalable training infrastructure for distributed RL, including efficient experience collection and replay systems.
• Optimize training stability and sample efficiency through algorithmic and engineering improvements.
• Design rigorous evaluation protocols, including out-of-distribution and adversarial test cases.
• Implement safety mechanisms such as constraint enforcement, conservative policies, and human-in-the-loop oversight.
• Collaborate with applied scientists and product teams to identify high-value RL use cases.
• Monitor deployed policies and models in production for drift, regression, and unintended behaviors, building the alerting and dashboards that surface issues before they meaningfully affect users.
• Document methodology, design decisions, and operational characteristics for internal stakeholders.
• Stay current with RL research and translate promising techniques into production-ready solutions.
