ABOUT THE ROLE
Join a team building AI infrastructure and custom software for institutional finance. You will work with investment teams to turn complex research and analytics workflows into production-ready applications, using agentic AI to make financial work faster and more accessible.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Build user-facing LLM features such as research intelligence, natural-language querying, automated summaries, and agentic workflows.
- Develop agent orchestration, MCP-connected data sources, and integrations using modern AI frameworks and tools.
- Build full-stack applications for portfolio analytics, risk management, and investment research, from backend APIs to responsive interfaces.
- Design and maintain Python APIs and reliable ETL pipelines for positions, securities, risk metrics, and research data.
- Implement financial analytics and performance or risk calculations using time-series and linear algebra tools.
- Deploy and iterate on production software, incorporating direct user feedback while balancing speed and quality.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- Three to eight years of experience building applied AI products, including user-facing agentic features from initial concept to launch.
- Strong first-principles understanding of agentic workflows and a track record of using AI development tools effectively.
- Proficiency in Python and API development with FastAPI, Flask, or Django, plus experience with React, SQL, and cloud or AI infrastructure.
- Hands-on experience with LLM APIs, MCP servers, agent frameworks such as LangChain, and prompt engineering.
- Experience building applications on existing AI infrastructure, rather than focusing primarily on model training or research.
- Interest or experience in institutional finance, fintech, quantitative work, or other data-intensive fields, with curiosity about how investment teams make decisions.
- Comfort working in unstructured environments, solving loosely defined problems, and delivering user-facing software.
