About Vela

AI Recruiting Coordinator for Executive Search. Backed by Y Combinator.

About the role

We are a team of obsessive thinkers, builders, and doers from Harvard, CMU, UChicago, UPenn, GT, and more. We have published papers, own patents, built companies, and received international accolades. Most of all, we are a group of friends (some would say family) who work hard to solve some of the most challenging problems faced by real people.

What they're looking for

  • Ultra intellectually curious (you are active in competitions/championships such as ICPC, IOI, Putnam, etc, or do research for funzies, or win hackathons etc.)
  • Have crazy amounts of agency (passion projects 4 life, things annoy you? - you just fix them)
  • Love working with friends (extremely strong opinions, weakly held, have a great sense of humor)
  • Build agents and are an AI power user (but can think for yourself)
  • Fast learner
  • Curious about Machine Learning and Reinforcement Learning

How does one intelligently make decisions as such based on the context that changes person to person, industry to industry? ← This is just one of the many problems we tackle everyday.
