Pioneer Talent Program - Research Data Scientist

About the Role

We are seeking a Research Data Scientist who combines rigorous research thinking with a drive to see findings land in production. You will conduct original research in generative AI and LLMs applied to crypto-native problems — spanning reasoning under uncertainty, agent reliability in adversarial financial environments, and multi-modal market intelligence.

This is a research-first role at the intersection of three critical frontiers: post-training alignment and reasoning for financial agents, efficient inference and test-time scaling, and multi-agent coordination in open, adversarial environments. The goal is real-world impact — not just papers, but agents that trade, analyze, and act for millions of users.

You formulate research questions, design rigorous experiments, build evaluation frameworks, and collaborate with engineers to bring research into production.

Responsibilities

• Conduct original research in generative AI and large language models applied to crypto and financial domains — with focus areas including reasoning under market uncertainty, alignment of trading agents, multi-agent coordination, and test-time scaling for time-critical decisions

• Design and execute rigorous experiments — formulating clear hypotheses, implementing model and training variants including RLVR-based reasoning approaches, running systematic ablations, and drawing statistically sound conclusions
