What You'll Do

  • Build and own a portfolio research and chat interface for querying portfolio data, generating work products, and running multi-step analysis.
  • Design and ship agentic workflows, including structured extraction, tool-calling systems, and reliable multi-step AI pipelines.
  • Develop production infrastructure for LLMs, including evaluations, observability, context construction, structured outputs, failure handling, and monitoring.
  • Work with clients and domain experts to identify automation opportunities and deliver features from discovery through production.
  • Partner with the CTO to take ownership of a platform area and turn customer problems into effective technical solutions.

What We're Looking For

  • One to three years of experience as a software engineer, founding engineer, or founding AI engineer.
  • Strong backend engineering skills in Python, with experience building and owning production software in a high-stakes B2B environment.
  • Experience building LLM agents, tool-calling systems, multi-step AI workflows, and reliable architectures that address nondeterminism and context management.
  • Understanding of retrieval-augmented generation and experience building B2B AI products or document-processing systems at scale.
  • Experience designing relational data models for complex, hierarchical data, including documents, versions, entities, and relationships.
  • Proficiency with TypeScript, React, Python, and AWS, and a four-year degree.
  • Ability to independently own platform features, communicate proactively, and work directly with customers and domain experts.
  • Must be based in New York City and authorized to work without visa sponsorship.
