About the role

tl;dr: We're automating compliance for banks and fintechs with AI agents that work like human analysts - on a browser.
Demand is exploding, and we're expanding our engineering team to move faster & meet our 6-month roadmap.
Save Morty from Rick in our AI-proof coding challenge https://challenge.sphinxhq.com/.

Our team owns features vertically.
You'll architect agent behaviors, build backend systems, optimize ML pipelines, and ship product features - often in the same week.
You'll experiment with the latest models, design novel agentic workflows, and solve problems that don't have Stack Overflow answers.

Banks spend $50B a year hiring thousands of analysts to review alerts and fill out reports by hand.
The space has seen very little innovation, and customers complain about our most well-funded competitors weekly.
It's not glamorous - until you realize you're building the intelligence layer that protects the entire financial system.
Our co-founders previously sold an AI company & have built ML systems that scaled to millions of users and closed deals with major banks.
The rest of our team in SF includes PhDs, industry experts, and competitive coders.
Our customers protect the financial system from criminals.
Your code directly prevents money laundering and terrorism financing.
That matters.
