About the Role

You'll build the learning system for autonomous trading agents — enabling the fleet to learn from its own decisions and continuously improve.

This is a production ML role (not research) focused on reinforcement learning and closed-loop systems.

Key Responsibilities

Learning System & RL Loop 

  • Build feedback loop from trade outcomes strategy improvement
  • Develop evaluation frameworks for signals and performance
  • Automate strategy generation and backtesting
  • Detect market regime shifts and adapt strategies
  • Implement performance attribution systems
  • Manage fleet coordination (risk, capital allocation)
  • Build telemetry/data infrastructure

Model & Inference 

  • Define and implement model hosting strategy
  • Build domain-specific training pipelines
  • Optimize inference for real-time trading agents
  • Capture full decision telemetry across agents

Requirements 

  • Closed-loop production ML systems (non-negotiable)
  • RL / online learning experience
  • Full-stack ML ownership (data model production)
  • Strong Python + backend experience (Go/TS helpful)
  • High-stakes system experience (preferred)

Bonus Skills

  • Financial ML / trading systems
  • LLM fine-tuning & serving
  • Multi-agent systems
  • DeFi / onchain experience
  • Experience in sequential decision systems (robotics, game AI, etc.)
