Job description
Bright Vision Technologies is a forward-thinking software development company dedicated to building innovative solutions that help businesses automate and optimize their operations. We leverage cutting-edge technologies to create scalable, secure, and user-friendly applications.
As we continue to grow, we’re looking for a skilled AI Learning Systems Engineer to join our dynamic team and contribute to our mission of transforming business processes through technology.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join an established and well-respected organization offering tremendous career growth potential.
Job Title: AI Learning Systems Engineer
Location: 100% Remote (Continental United States)
Position Type: In-house Bright Vision Technologies SOW engagement (no third-party client or vendor)
Experience: 6+ years
Salary: $100K- $150K
Employment Terms & Visa Policy
This is a 100% remote, full-time, direct W2 position with Bright Vision Technologies.
This role is part of Bright Vision Technologies’ in-house Statement of Work (SOW) engagement. The client, end customer, and employer for this position is Bright Vision Technologies — there is no third-party client, vendor, or implementation partner involved.
We do not engage in C2C, 1099, or third-party arrangements for this role.
Candidates must be willing to work directly as a full-time W2 employee of Bright Vision Technologies and contribute to our in-house SOW deliverables.
No new H1B sponsorship is available for this role.
However, candidates who are currently on a valid H1B visa and require a transfer are welcome to apply. We will support H1B transfers for qualified candidates.
For every role, a technical coding assessment is mandatory. Please apply only if you are confident in your technical abilities and hands-on experience.
Job Summary
We are looking for an AI Learning Systems Engineer to design, train, and deploy RL-based systems for high-impact decision-making problems where supervised learning alone is insufficient. The role requires deep familiarity with modern reinforcement learning algorithms, simulation environments, reward modeling, and the engineering complexity of training and evaluating policies at scale. The ideal candidate has both research depth and engineering pragmatism, with experience taking RL solutions out of the lab and into production where stability, safety, and ongoing improvement are critical.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and implement reinforcement learning solutions for sequential decision-making problems in real and simulated environments.
- Develop, calibrate, and maintain simulation environments suitable for large-scale agent training.
- Implement and evaluate modern RL algorithms including policy gradient, actor-critic, off-policy, and offline RL methods.
- Engineer reward functions and shaping strategies that align agent behavior with desired outcomes and safety constraints.
- Apply offline RL and imitation learning techniques where exploration is costly or unsafe.
- Use RLHF, DPO, and related techniques for fine-tuning large language models when relevant.
- Build scalable training infrastructure for distributed RL, including efficient experience collection and replay systems.
- Optimize training stability and sample efficiency through algorithmic and engineering improvements.
- Design rigorous evaluation protocols, including out-of-distribution and adversarial test cases.
- Implement safety mechanisms such as constraint enforcement, conservative policies, and human-in-the-loop oversight.
- Collaborate with applied scientists and product teams to identify high-value RL use cases.
- Monitor deployed policies and models in production for drift, regression, and unintended behaviors, building the alerting and dashboards that surface issues before they meaningfully affect users.
- Document methodology, design decisions, and operational characteristics for internal stakeholders.
- Stay current with RL research and translate promising techniques into production-ready solutions.
Required Qualifications
- Master’s or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related field; or equivalent applied experience.
- Six or more years of combined RL research and engineering experience.
- Strong proficiency in Python and modern deep learning frameworks.
- Hands-on experience with at least one major RL library or in-house RL stack.
- Solid understanding of probability, optimization, and the theoretical foundations of RL.
- Experience designing and tuning reward functions in non-trivial environments.
- Familiarity with simulation environments and large-scale experience collection.
- Experience training neural network policies on GPU clusters.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Track record of shipping or publishing impactful RL work.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with RLHF for large language models.
- Familiarity with multi-agent RL or hierarchical RL.
- Exposure to robotics, control systems, or autonomous driving.
- Publications in RL or related research venues.
- Open-source contributions to RL libraries or environments.

Which visas can work for this job
Occupation: Engineers, All Other (SOC 17-2199) — estimated from the job title.
- Mentioned in the listing
H-1B
- H-1B cap-exempt employer
Regular cap-subject employer — a new H-1B needs to win the lottery in March (unless you already hold cap-counted H-1B status).
- TN (citizens of Canada and Mexico)
This kind of role may fit the USMCA profession “Engineer” — it depends on the actual duties. No lottery, no cap; you need the matching degree or license.
- E-3 (Australia) and H-1B1 (Chile, Singapore)
Same degree requirement as H-1B, but no lottery and a separate quota that is rarely filled.
- O-1 (extraordinary ability)
For candidates with awards, publications, press, a high salary or critical roles at distinguished organizations. No cap, no lottery; the employer files a petition.
- STEM OPT extension (F-1 students)
Requires an E-Verify employer. We didn't find this company in the E-Verify list — ask HR.
Salary vs prevailing wage
Level I (entry)Engineers, All Other · Denver-Aurora-Centennial, CO. Annual prevailing wages set by the Department of Labor (OFLC).
| Level | Prevailing wage | H-1B lottery odds* |
|---|---|---|
| Level I | $87,422 | ~15% |
| Level II | $110,614 | ~31% |
| Level III | $133,806 | ~46% |
| Level IV | $156,998 | ~61% |
This job pays $100,000–$150,000 a year — that's Level I (entry). In the wage-weighted H-1B lottery a Level I registration gets 1 entry; estimated selection chance about 15% — below average.
* Odds are DHS projections for the FY2027 wage-weighted lottery (actual results vary by year and employer). Since the FY2027 cap season the H-1B lottery is weighted by wage level: Level I = 1 entry, II = 2, III = 3, IV = 4. The level is set by the offered wage against the prevailing wage for the occupation and worksite. Separately, a $100,000 fee for new H-1B petitions for workers outside the US was announced in 2025; as of September 2026 a federal court ruling keeps it unenforceable while appeals continue — check the current status.
