Job Description

The mission of the AI Frontiers lab is to expand the pareto frontier of Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities, efficiency, and safety through innovations in foundation models and learning agent platforms. Some of our projects include work on Small Language Models (e.g. Phi, Fara, Fara-multimodal, OmniParser) and agentic AI systems (e.g. AutoGen, MagenticOne, Magentic-UI). We are advancing the science of agents with research on Machine Learning (ML), Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and AI. To bridge foundational breakthroughs with real-world agent autonomy, we are building an end-to-end agentic model stack that integrates pre-training, post-training, reinforcement learning (RL), multi-agent collaboration, agentic harness, and deployment. Our core objective is to create self-improving AI systems that can navigate dynamic enterprise environments by learning through experience and interaction. As a Senior Researcher – Agentic AI, you will play a crucial role in modeling agentic intelligence: developing agents that learn to self-correct, specialize and collectively improve through self-play as well as interaction. The role spans research on recursive self-improvement using self‑generated data, adaptive coordination and delegation across multiple models, continual learning without catastrophic forgetting, human-AI collaboration for long-horizon tasks, and autonomous skill acquisition driven by interaction‑identified gaps. This role encompasses the full research-to-deployment spectrum, requiring an active focus on building robust evaluation frameworks and high-fidelity synthetic data pipelines. You will also be instrumental in refining the underlying architectures to ensure agentic systems scale effectively in complex environments. Researchers in the AI Frontiers lab work in a vibrant, multidisciplinary environment with access to large‑scale pipelines and evaluation environments, the ability to ground research in real-world product scenarios, and an open publication policy designed to share breakthroughs in agentic autonomy with the global research community. Our current research focuses on the intersection of self-improving systems and multi-agent reasoning, specifically exploring how recursive improvement, adaptive coordination, and autonomous skill acquisition can enable agents to continuously evolve through interaction without losing prior capabilities.

Job Responsibility

  • As a Senior Researcher in the AI Frontiers lab, you will perform cutting-edge research in collaboration with other researchers, engineers, and product groups
  • As a member of a world-class research organization, you will be a part of research breakthroughs in the field and will be given an opportunity to realize your ideas on products and services used worldwide.

Requirements

Doctorate in relevant field OR Master's Degree in relevant field AND 3+ years related research experience OR Bachelor's Degree in relevant field AND 4+ years related research experience OR equivalent experience.

Nice to have

  • Research record demonstrated by public artifacts like models, tools, code in AI space or publications at the following conferences: NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL, NAACL, COLM
  • Expertise in the technical scaling of models and a commitment to engineering excellence, including the development of generalized code and robust research infrastructure
  • Experience publishing academic papers as a lead author or essential contributor in the field of Artificial Intelligence, deep learning, natural language processing and/or reinforcement learning
  • Experience participating in a top conference in relevant research domain (i.e. organizing a workshop, hackathon, community engagement/relations)
  • Demonstrable ability to define an ambitious, original research agenda
  • Ability to collaborate, communicate effectively, and technically lead multi-disciplinary team
  • Keen interest in real-world applications and impact.
