Frontier AI Research Engineer — Data & Scaled Training

Periodic in Menlo Park, CA recruits a Midtraining Research Engineer to advance frontier models for scientific discovery. You will curate data, build evals, and run large-scale training experiments that lay groundwork for our pre-training efforts.

You will collaborate with RL researchers, physicists, and chemists, applying self-distillation and on-policy distillation, while scaling training across thousands of GPUs to push model intelligence forward.
