## About the role

Build the post-training stack : You build the RL training loop end-to-end: rollout ingestion from the geo-distributed inference pipeline, reward computation, policy updates, and getting updated weights back out to the network. You set the direction, and you make things happen. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Strong engineering : Production-quality Python and PyTorch: concurrency, failure handling, profiling before optimizing
- Research ability : Publications in RL post-training, asynchronous or distributed RL, or nearby fields are a strong signal. So is unpublished work you can defend in detail
- Mission alignment : You believe Protocol Learning is the viable third path for collective, trustless, and sovereign AI
