You’ll ship agentic capabilities on an open, extensible stack, with the craf

As a Research Scientist on our team, you will partner with Research Engineers, working on fundamental research problems and collaborating with Datadog's product and engineering teams to translate research advances into products. Building on our track record of AI-powered solutions (e.g., Bits AI , Bits Evolve , and our time series foundation model ), Datadog AI Research tackles high-risk, high-reward problems grounded in real-world challenges in cloud observability and security. We are focused on two research areas: World Models for Observability -- Training multimodal foundation models that learn the joint dynamics of distributed systems across metrics, traces, logs, topology, and events. These models power advanced forecasting, anomaly detection, root cause analysis, counterfactual simulation ("what if?"), and provide a learned planning backbone for our autonomous agents. Trained Agents for Observability -- Post-training models to operate autonomously across Datadog's domain. SRE incident response is our first target, with a clear path to code repair, security response, and infrastructure optimization. We build the simulation environments, RL training loops, and evaluation infrastructure needed to train agents that match or surpass frontier models at a fraction of the cost. What You'll Do: Conduct research in generative AI and machine learning, building specialized foundation models and trained agents for observability Train multimodal models on large-scale, diverse telemetry data (metrics, logs, traces, topology, events) using distributed training infrastructure Design and build simulated environments and RL training loops for on-policy agent training and evaluation Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Product, Engineering) to integrate capabilities like multimodal world modeling and autonomous agents into Datadog's products Stay at the forefront of foundation models, world models, and RL-based agent research Contribute to r

Scale works with the industry's leading AI labs to provide high quality data and accelerate progress in GenAI research. We are looking for Research Scientists and Research Engineers with expertise in LLM post-training (SFT, RLHF, reward modeling) and evaluation. This role is on the evaluation pod within the GenAI Research Organization and will focus on building benchmarks and diagnosing model failure modes in both text and multimodal modalities. In this role, you will develop rigorous evaluations and diagnostic methods that reveal where frontier models fail and why. You will collaborate with researchers and engineers to define best practices in evaluation-driven AI development. You will also partner with top foundation model labs to translate failure analysis into technical and strategic input on the next generation of generative AI models. You will: Analyze model behavior to identify, characterize, and diagnose failure modes in frontier LLMs and Agents. You’ll identify everything from capability gaps and reasoning errors to robustness and alignment issues, all focusing on RCA. Design and build benchmarks and evaluation methods that measure LLM capabilities in both text and multimodal modalities. Apply post-training expertise (SFT, RLHF, reward modeling) to connect observed failures to the data and training interventions that address them. Publish research findings in top-tier AI conferences. Ideally you’d have: Ph.D. or Master's degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, AI, or a related field.
