## About the role

National institutions, public-sector organizations, and regulated industries need capable models and agents that operate within strict boundaries around data, deployment, access, auditability, and human authority. They also need the ability to improve those systems on their own workflows rather than depend indefinitely on a closed external model. You will build post-training and agent systems in public-sector and regulated-industry settings. You should want to build and evaluate these systems directly. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Relevant experience: RL/post-training, private ML systems, high-assurance evaluation, agent safety, regulated-domain ML, public-sector technical work, or deployment under strict data and infrastructure constraints
- You should want to build and evaluate these systems directly
- Hands-on experience building and debugging model-training, post-training, agent, evaluation, or closely adjacent experimental loops
- Strong experimental judgment: meaningful baselines, careful trace inspection, clear failure attribution, and a willingness to change direction when the evidence changes
- Strong Python and the ability to build artifacts that other researchers and engineers can run, inspect, and extend
- Comfort owning ambiguous problems and keeping partners and teammates current as you resolve them
