  Location: Washington, D.C. (open to relocation, but preference to initial remote period)
  Remote: Yes
  Willing to relocate: Yes (June 2026 and beyond)
  Technologies: Python, Rust, Elixir | Neo4j, Postgres, Redis, K8s | PyTorch, MLX, LoRA/QLoRA, Modal A100s, H100s | FastAPI, Phoenix, Rails
  Résumé/CV: https://linkedin.com/in/arthurcolle
  Email: arthur@distributed.systems
Background:

Deep knowledge of OpenAI, Anthropic + LLM APIs. Able to run models on GPUs and Apple Silicon unified memory. I have trained + deployed agentic coding, tool calling and multi-turn agent models in two prior roles.

Building autonomous agent infrastructure. Currently run a small R&D shop (Distributed, Systems & Co.) doing distributed AGI and AI safety research. I am developing graphsub (graph substrate), a graph-native service mesh for agents, eval harnesses, self-modifying DSLs.

Before that: 4 years at Goldman Sachs deep in SecDB/Slang (the reactive dependency-graph system). I worked on collateralized mortgage obligations, on the interest rate products trading desk (as an engineer in the technology division), automated parts of the downstream IR-swap lifecycle and on CDS lifecycle management for novations and other lifecycle events. Had a hand in managing and working on our internal TriOptima notional compression cycles. I got promoted from tech into structuring. Series 7.

Recent work: 15-service LLM stack (zero downtime across 98 deploys), fine-tuned Llama-3.1-8B (23% hallucination reduction), Rust daemons and TUIs. 3k+ GitHub contributions last year.

OSS: agents.erl (BEAM-native cognition), https://github.com/arthurcolle/openai-mcp, fortitude (a framework for bootstrapping agents), https://github.com/arthurcolle/dspy.ex

Looking for: AI labs, defense tech, or startups building agentic systems / foundation model infra / AI safety tooling. IC or research roles.

I can run SFT and RL experiments, train models, and I'd love to be able to train agentic models and ideally with large GPU clusters. I have enjoyed these last two years, a focused period of building "agentic scaffolding" and scaling up multi-agent systems and if any of this sounds appealing to you, I can definitely be of some help to your org!

Hi my name is Kyle - I have 10 Years professionally - Ex-cofounder Legaltech SaaS - Self-taught programmer and have been coding since starting with C++ in 2005 and Flash games.

I am passionate, hardworking, and strive to do my best and drive real change. I like working with highly engaged teams, where I can take on important roles with autonomy and be involved in the decision making process. I have a keen eye for product and customer fit - and I am always asking questions to ensure that I understand new information, perspectives, and priorities.

I am looking for team where there is a shared sense of purpose - and a long term vision. I want to work with a loyal group of people who aren't chasing fads, but who instead are focused on their customers, their employees, their product (or service) and who are focused on good fundamentals - not hype.

I am unemployed at the moment - and would really appreciate some reach outs. I am available ASAP - and hungry!
