Research Scientist: Game Agents & Model Distillation

Good Start Labs

Good Start Labs is recruiting for a research-focused role in Ottawa that combines game AI with scalable language-model distillation. You will train superhuman game agents, distill insights into general models, and design benchmarks using the game engine as a verifier.

The work emphasizes RL post-training methods (PPO/GRPO/RLVR), designing rewards for multi-agent interactions, and producing publishable results that advance the lab’s research brand.
