The role
We are looking for a Research Intern to join our Agent RL Training team. You will be paired with a full-time employee as your mentor, working together to explore, from zero to one, how to apply large language models to NewsBreak’s core business, including content understanding, recommendation, agentic web browsing, and autonomous multi-step task completion.
This is a hands-on research role. You are expected to independently drive experiments, propose novel ideas, and iterate quickly. We value self-starters with deep intellectual curiosity and the drive to push boundaries in LLM post-training and agent capabilities.
Location: Onsite in Mountain View, CA office
What You’ll Work On
- Collaborate with your full-time mentor to identify high-impact research directions for applying LLMs to NewsBreak’s products
- Independently run end-to-end SFT experiments on LLM-based agents, and assist with RL-related exploration such as reward design and training iteration
