About the role

  • We are looking for a Software Engineer to join the Fundamental Equity COO team, embedded directly within the business rather than in a central technology function.
  • AI integration is a core part of this role, not an afterthought.
  • You should come in with both hands-on experience and genuine conviction about where these technologies are heading.

Responsibilities

  • Build, deploy, and maintain internal APIs (FastAPI) and backend services that surface portfolio analytics, market data, and quantitative outputs to investment professionals, hosted within the team's AWS environment
  • Own and extend scheduled data pipelines and orchestration workflows (Prefect) running in containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes), ensuring reliability and observability across the platform
  • Develop and own structured databases (PostgreSQL) underpinning research, portfolio, and operational workflows, with a view to making that data increasingly accessible and actionable through AI
  • solid SQL and database design skills, particularly PostgreSQL
  • Experience building and deploying backend services and APIs (FastAPI or equivalent) in a production environment
  • We are actively building out how LLMs, agentic workflows, and AI-powered tooling fit into the investment process, and this hire is expected to drive a meaningful part of that.
  • Experience building dashboards or lightweight frontend interfaces (e.g. Streamlit, React) for internal users

Requirements

  • 2-5 years of experience in a relevant role: quantitative development, dev strats, analytics engineering, or quantitative analysis at a bank, hedge fund, asset manager, or financial data provider
  • Strong Python proficiency with an emphasis on well-structured, object-oriented codebases
  • Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and workflow orchestration frameworks (Prefect, Airflow, or equivalent)
  • Hands-on experience with AI/LLM integration across multiple model providers: API usage, prompt engineering, tool use, and retrieval-augmented workflows.
  • You have built things with these, not just read about them

Compensation

  • The base pay for this role is expected to be between $150k and $175k.

Benefits

  • Build and maintain a shared AI plugin and skills library that can be leveraged by all Fundamental Equity investment professionals, ensuring capabilities are well-documented, reusable, and model-agnostic
