HUD jobs, judged for you, free

What they do

HUD builds a platform for RL environments: sets of tasks where an AI agent acts and gets graded, so a model can learn. Teams use it to train and test models. HUD also runs a marketplace where people list data for AI labs to buy. Startups, Fortune 500 companies, and frontier labs use it. HUD went through Y Combinator (W25).

What they value

• Data that is valuable to the people who make it and trustworthy for the labs that train on it.
• Technical aptitude and learning potential over years of experience.
• Work without a fixed plan, in a fast early-stage team.

Where they hire

HUD has about 25 people, with offices in San Francisco and Singapore. Most roles are open in either office, or remote in Asia or North America with hours that overlap 70 to 80% with an office. Some sales roles are remote only. Some operations and marketing roles are San Francisco only. Every posting offers relocation and visa support.

Teams and roles

Engineering and research is the largest group, with 14 of 38 roles. Sales and go-to-market (GTM) has 11, and design and product has 5.

• Research engineers: build environments, benchmarks, synthetic data, quality checks, and robotics data and evaluations for training AI agents.
• Software engineers: reinforcement learning, infrastructure on AWS and Kubernetes, and delivery.
• Product: product engineers, a design engineer, and product managers for the platform and the marketplace.
• Sales: sales development representatives and account executives in Singapore or remote, who get people to list data on HUD.

Most roles give a pay range. Research engineers get $100K to $230K.

What they look for

Most engineering roles ask for Python. Many ask for Docker and Linux, and for work on benchmarks, evaluations, or reinforcement learning. Most roles, 25 of 38, ask for experience at an early-stage startup and the ability to work on your own. Product engineers ask for full-stack skill and product judgment. Sales roles ask for clear English and persistence on cold calls, and welcome career changers. The hiring process is two technical interviews and a two- or three-day work trial.
