About the Role
As a Research Intern, you will work alongside the research team to design and evaluate RL environments for domains where expertise is hard to formalize. You'll get hands-on experience at the frontier of AI training, contributing to projects that ship directly to partner labs. This is a high-impact internship for someone who learns fast, thinks carefully, and wants to do work that matters. We prefer individuals with prior ML or AI experience, however we care more about intellectual curiosity and the ability to reason rigorously about hard problems.
Responsibilities
- Assist in designing and evaluating RL environments across new domains
- Run experiments to test hypotheses about reward modeling and environment quality
- Collaborate with domain experts to understand what mastery looks like in a given field
- Contribute to internal research documents and help refine Traverse's methodology
- Work directly with research scientists and engineers on active projects
Requirements
- Currently pursuing or recently completed a BS, MS, or PhD in any rigorous field
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
- Ability to learn quickly and work independently in an ambiguous environment
- Genuine curiosity about how expertise works across different domains

About the Company
- Traverse is a research data lab building reinforcement learning environments for frontier AI labs.
- We focus on the non-deterministic, taste-dependent work that makes up most of the economy and that nobody else has figured out how to train models on.
- We work directly with the labs building the most capable models on earth as a thought partner.
- Backed by Y Combinator.
