About the role

This isn't a role where AI is a thin wrapper - the intelligence layer is the product.

Design modeling and reasoning systems that meet the correctness and explainability requirements of financial services - where every recommendation needs to be traceable and defensible

Own distributed backend infrastructure: event-driven workers, job pipelines, and multi-stage processing systems that deliver AI outputs reliably under load
Drive technical decisions across teams: schema design, API contracts, system boundaries, and service architecture
8+ years of engineering experience, with a track record of leading complex systems from design to production
If you're excited to contribute to a high-bar team building something meaningful, we'd love to hear from you.
