🚀 Build the next generation of Agentic AI with us

Our platform combines conversation intelligence, multimodal understanding, and agentic AI systems to power both human agents and autonomous AI agents across the entire customer experience lifecycle.

A core part of this vision is our investment in custom Small Language Models (SLMs)—purpose-built for CX workflows—paired with reinforcement learning systems that continuously improve decision-making in real-world environments.

We’re looking for a Research Intern (Reinforcement Learning) to join us in shaping this future.

What you’ll do
 
  • Design and build reinforcement learning environments that model real-world customer interaction workflows.

  • Design RL agents that learn from these environments using real-world interaction data, rewards, and feedback loops

  • Define reward models and feedback loops using real-world signals (outcomes and human feedback)

  • Enable learning from production data by structuring interaction traces into training-ready datasets for offline and online learning

  • Experiment with multi-agent systems and simulation frameworks for complex coordination and decision-making

  • Collaborate with engineering and product teams to deploy, evaluate, and iterate on learning systems in production at scale.

 

What we’re looking for
  • Currently pursuing (or recently completed) a degree in Computer Science, AI, Machine Learning, or related field

  • Strong understanding of reinforcement learning fundamentals

  • Familiarity with RL environments and training libraries such as Verl and Tinker

  • Strong foundation in probability, math, and optimization

  • Passion for building real-world AI systems

Nice to have
  • Experience with RLHF, LLM/SLM fine-tuning, or model alignment

  • Exposure to agent-based systems or multi-agent RL

  • Prior research, projects, or publications in RL or applied ML

  • Experience working with large-scale or production datasets

 

Why Level AI
  • Work on production-grade Agentic AI systems used by leading enterprises

  • Build alongside a team with deep expertise from Amazon, Google, and Meta

  • Be part of a fast-growing Series C AI company.

  • Direct exposure to 0→1 AI innovation in CX and decisioning systems

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
