About the role

We are building Protege to solve the biggest unmet need in AI — getting access to the right training data. The process today is time intensive, incredibly expensive, and often ends in failure. The Protege platform facilitates the secure, efficient, and privacy-centric exchange of AI training data. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Strong analytical skills, with instincts for statistics
  • Comfort and experience with agentic coding/work tools, willingness to learn new ones
  • Comfort working directly with demanding stakeholders, including researchers and outside partners
  • The judgment to notice when something is off and the instinct to raise it early rather than guess
  • Clear, fast written communication
