Build software that 10–100x's the quality and throughput of RL environment creation.
Innovate on synthetic data pipelines to create realistic problems.
Build platform analytics for environment cost, hours, bottlenecks, and SME management.
Craft domain-specific verifiers (verifiable rewards for decks, Excel modeling, quantitative trading, and beyond).
Establish engineering culture and practices from the ground up.
You should have
