About Deeptune
Deeptune builds training gyms for AI Agents – simulation environments where agents can practice real-world tasks (like coding or building spreadsheets) and improve through reinforcement learning.
Our RL environments and high-quality training data help frontier labs push agent capabilities forward. Backed by a world-class founding team, we’ve raised $40M+ and reached 8-figure ARR within our first six months. We expect to reach $100M+ in ARR in 2026.
About the Role
We’re looking for a Strategic Projects Lead (SPL) to scale and optimize our data business. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role for someone energized by ambiguity, rapid iteration, and building systems that operate at scale.
As an SPL, you will own the end-to-end production of RL training data inside our environments – from customer specifications through final delivery. Your decisions will directly impact data quality, operational efficiency, revenue, and margins.
What you’ll do
Own complex, end-to-end data pipelines from customer requirements to final output
Identify and implement automation and workflow improvements to increase throughput and qualityPartner closely with engineering, product, and leadership during a period of rapid growth
Recruit, manage, and deploy high-skill talent across AI data projects
SPLs are obsessed with both quality and velocity. You’ll combine analytical rigor, quantitative thinking, strong judgment, and creative problem-solving to move data cleanly through complex systems – often under imperfect information.
About You
You’re an entrepreneurial operator who’s comfortable getting deep into the weeds and taking full ownership of outcomes. You’re excited by intense, high-impact work and motivated by accelerating the development of agentic AI.
Ideally, you have:
Strong problem-solving skills and a data-driven approach to improving systems and processes
Solid technical fluency (experience with SQL, Python, or similar tools preferred)
Experience training, coaching, and managing fast-moving teams
The ability to work cross-functionally and communicate complex issues to non-technical stakeholders
An entrepreneurial mindset to build from scratch, move quickly, and prioritize
A genuine interest in AI / ML systems
You should apply if:
You thrive in ambiguity
You love attacking challenging problems
You want real ownership and accountability
You are excited to work in person, 5 days a week, from our Union Square office
