    • Policy Gradient methods
    • Actor-Critic algorithms
    • Model-based and model-free RL
    • Exploration vs. exploitation strategies
  • Proficiency in Python.
  • Experience with deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow.
  • Hands-on experience with RL libraries such as Stable-Baselines3, RLlib, CleanRL, or Tianshou.
  • Strong knowledge of probability, statistics, linear algebra, and optimization.
  • Experience with Git, Docker, Linux, and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud).
  • Familiarity with REST APIs and software engineering best practices.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with Large Language Models (LLMs), Agentic AI, or Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL).
  • Experience in robotics, autonomous systems, recommendation systems, gaming, finance, or operations research.
  • Knowledge of distributed training frameworks such as Ray.
  • Experience with CUDA or GPU optimization.
  • Publications or open-source contributions in reinforcement learning or AI.
