About the Role
Founding engineering role at an AI-native fintech company building autonomous systems for end-to-end financial transaction management. You will own the technical core of a product that coordinates multi-party financial workflows, models businesses, and reasons about markets at scale. Your decisions will define the architecture and capabilities of the platform from day one.
Responsibilities
- Build intelligence that models businesses, reconciles contradictory evidence, and reasons about how decisions propagate through companies and markets.
- Design and ship agents that coordinate months of financial work across hundreds of counterparties, preserving context, commitments, and dependencies as conditions change.
- Own end-to-end architecture, evaluations, infrastructure, and product interfaces for complex AI systems.
- Help select technical teammates and establish engineering and operating standards for the team.
- Move fluidly across backend systems, applied AI, and product interfaces to turn ambiguous problems into working products.
Requirements
- 8 or more years of experience shipping difficult, production-grade systems and owning critical technical decisions.
- Deep expertise in applied AI, including building intelligent agents and models for complex business processes.
- Experience with AI components such as retrieval, memory systems, and evaluation frameworks, especially in data-intensive environments.
- Proven ability to own end-to-end architecture and infrastructure for complex AI systems.
- Full-stack AI engineering capability: comfortable working across backend, applied AI, and product layers.
- Strong commitment to engineering craftsmanship, system reliability, and measuring whether systems actually work.
- Experience building in greenfield or first-principles environments is a strong plus.
- Background in financial services, investment banking, or other complex professional workflows is an advantage.
