About the role

Halluminate is a data research lab building benchmarks and RL environments to push the frontier of AI in knowledge work. This role leads the data function from scratch, owning data acquisition, licensing, safety, and provisioning for RL environments built on real-world financial data.

Responsibilities

  • Stand up the data team from scratch — you are the first hire and the owner.
  • Source, license, and purchase real-world financial data and artifacts — data rooms, filings, models, decks — from across the industry.
  • Build the anonymization and compliance pipeline that turns sensitive industry data into training-safe assets.
  • Build the systems that catalogue, version, and distribute data so project teams can self-serve.
  • Act as the internal supplier to our SPL project pods, fulfilling requests for data/tokens that are the foundation for our RL environments
  • Own vendor and data-provider relationships end to end, including negotiation and renewal.
  • Own data quality, provenance, and licensing terms — and the judgment calls about what we will and will not use.

Qualifications

  • Experience building a data acquisition, licensing, or ops function — ideally one that did not exist before you arrived.
  • Strong engineering instincts. You will build pipelines and tooling yourself, not just manage vendors.
  • Product judgment about what makes data good enough for a given use case, and when to stop.
  • Comfort operating with no playbook, and startup speed: iterate quick, ask quick, respond quick, make mistakes quick.
  • Client-facing comfort — you'll work directly with project leads, vendors, and SMEs.

About Halluminate

Data and RL environments to automate knowledge work

We help foundation model labs and enterprises train computer use AI with data and sandboxes. A knowledge worker spends 90% of their day on a computer. A productive AI agent must similarly learn how to use our computers, browsers, and software to deliver real world value. Today, browser and computer use AI is inaccurate, slow, and expensive. Model labs and enterprises who want to improve these agents are bottlenecked by two resources: 1) High quality datasets for benchmarking and evaluations 2) Realistic sandbox environments for safe and accurate testing/training (ex. a simulated version of Salesforce) Halluminate offers a suite of products and services to address both these issues. Our evaluation service combines proprietary datasets with high quality annotations to help our customers identify and prioritize the biggest failure modes of their computer- and browser- use AI. Our platform provides a catalog of fully managed sandboxes, empowering our customers to safely and accurately test/train at scale, resulting in improved performance. Our customers see - Improved browser- and computer-use agent performance - New and emergent frontier agent capabilities - Data driven prioritization leading to exponentially faster development speed - Increased revenue/sales via marketing from public benchmarks Our paying customers already include leading computer use model labs and the two largest browser agent companies in the space. Wyatt and Jerry are friends that met their first week of school studying CS at Cornell University. They’ve been working and studying together for 7+ years.
