The next breakthrough isn't a better model — it's infrastructure for autonomous problem-solving. Markets are the first domain because feedback is immediate, signal is verifiable, and outcomes are directly monetizable. What we're building doesn't stop at markets.

  • Streaming data pipelines for real-time market ingestion
  • Agent observability, experiment tracking, and reproducibility at scale
  • Low-latency trading system design and optimization

Details

  • Location: San Francisco (in-person)
  • Comp: Competitive salary + meaningful founding equity
