Founding Engineer @ Vela | Solving Scheduling

Who are you?

• Ultra intellectually curious (you are active in competitions/championships such as ICPC, IOI, Putnam, etc.; or do research for fun; or win hackathons)
• Have crazy amounts of agency (passion projects for life; fix things that annoy you)
• 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
• Agent evaluator
• Test-driven developer

• Solve problems that don't have a known solution yet.
• Build agents that make thousands of context-dependent decisions daily.
• Ship things that real paying customers use the next day.
• Talk to customers, understand their needs, and build.
• Own entire systems end-to-end: from the research that informs an approach, to the architecture, to the code, to watching it work in production.
• Work at the frontier of what agents can actually do reliably, not what demos look like on Twitter.
