Reinforcement Learning (RL) Engineer

Location: New York (Office)

Compensation: $600K - $800K

We are a team of elite builders and high-growth software developers moving at the speed of the most active markets in the world. As core contributors to one of the largest crypto social networks globally, we are redefining the intersection of social engagement and decentralized finance.

We are seeking a battle-tested Reinforcement Learning Engineer to take end-to-end ownership of an RL-driven trading agent. This agent will deploy real capital within a high-velocity ecosystem to drive volume and participation. This is not a research role; you will be the sole RL expert responsible for transitioning our existing heuristic systems into sophisticated, learning-based models. You will be expected to move fast, enforce strict risk guardrails, and ship code that directly impacts the global crypto economy.

Requirements

We are looking for an autonomous operator who has "skin in the game" experience. You should be comfortable working without a massive research organization or dedicated ML infrastructure team.
