About the Role
Join the applied AI team at a fintech company to build and own its agent platform. You will develop reliable AI systems that support financial advisors and clients, with a focus on high-quality outputs, effective human collaboration, and financial data accuracy.
What You'll Do
Build general-purpose agents that plan and complete complex tasks using code execution, web search, retrieval, and other tools.
Develop ambient agents that triage email, process meetings, draft communications, and surface timely actions for advisors and clients.
Design the agent harness that coordinates language models, context, tools, retrieval, and business logic.
Create generative user interfaces and human-in-the-loop workflows that let advisors collaborate with agents and retain control.
Build evaluation infrastructure for both correctness-sensitive financial data and tasks requiring judgment.
Develop memory systems that retrieve and update relevant client context over time.
What We're Looking For
Four to ten years of full-stack or backend engineering experience, including production LLM-powered agents.
Experience orchestrating LLMs with retrieval-augmented generation, tool calling, prompt engineering, and agent frameworks.
Strong software engineering fundamentals across APIs, data modeling, and system design.
Fluency with relevant technologies such as Python, LLMs, vector databases, TypeScript, and React.
Experience shipping and maintaining high-quality AI systems in production, including evaluation infrastructure for non-deterministic systems.
Background at a high-growth startup or comparable technical environment, with evidence of growth and progression in your work.
Experience with generative UI or human-in-the-loop interfaces is valuable.
