About HUD
HUD's mission is to build reliable, fair and open infrastructure for AI data. We want data to be valuable for the people who create it and trustworthy for the labs that train on it. Our team is a quickly growing group of researchers, engineers and operators building the economy that shapes what AI will become. Backed by $16M from top VCs and YC (W25), our marketplace and platform are used by startups, Fortune 500 companies and frontier labs.
We’re looking for a Senior Research Infrastructure Engineer to accelerate research on training and evaluating frontier AI agents. You’ll build the software and infrastructure that enable HUD’s researchers to iterate on environments, collect trajectories, and evaluate model behavior.
You’ll work closely with research engineers to understand the questions they’re investigating, identify bottlenecks in experimentation, and turn research code into reliable, reusable systems. You’ll own the tools, pipelines, and execution infrastructure that help researchers explore ideas, reproduce results, and scale promising approaches.
