Research Engineer

Team: Research & Development
Location: Flexible / Remote
Reporting to: Head of R&D

Role Overview

Rwazi’s research initiatives require rapid experimentation, prototyping, and system validation.

The Research Engineer enables applied research through technical system construction.

This role builds prototypes, experimental pipelines, evaluation tooling, and research infrastructure that allow decision concepts to be tested under real-world constraints.

The Research Engineer operationalizes research velocity.

Core Mandate

The Research Engineer is accountable for:

• Building research prototypes and sandbox environments
• Developing evaluation tooling for decision systems
• Implementing experimental system architectures
• Enabling fast iteration between theory and validation
• Maintaining technical research infrastructure

This role bridges conceptual research and system reality.

Key Responsibilities

Prototype Development

• Implement experimental decision pipelines
• Build modular, testable research architectures
• Translate conceptual models into runnable systems

Research Tooling & Infrastructure

• Create evaluation frameworks for reasoning outputs
• Build simulation environments for controlled testing
• Develop benchmarking systems for decision performance

Experiment Enablement

• Implement A/B logic and structured experiment tracking
• Optimize iteration cycles for research testing
• Ensure reproducibility of experimental results

System Integration Support

• Collaborate with Decision Research Scientists to encode models
• Provide technical validation of research concepts
• Identify engineering constraints early

Role Impact

Strong performance in this role results in:

• Faster research iteration cycles
• More reliable prototype validation
• Reduced gap between research and production
