## About the role

Own the inference stack : You build and own it end-to-end. Pipeline-parallel execution, placement and routing, the transport, the serving engine, and failure handling. You set the direction, and you make things happen. Invent the algorithms : Making inference fast on consumer hardware over the public internet takes methods that don't exist yet. You design them, validate them, and put them in production. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Shipped serving systems : You've shipped serving-engine internals or built a large-scale inference system yourself, and you can do this work hands-on today
- Low-bandwidth networking : Experience with systems that run in low-bandwidth, high-latency settings like the public internet is a strong signal
- Mission alignment : You believe Protocol Learning is the viable third path for collective, trustless, and sovereign AI
