Applied AI Engineer - High-Growth Fintech

We’re partnering with a rapidly scaling, VC-backed fintech building an AI-first platform transforming how financial advice is delivered.

In under three years, the company has scaled to $2B+ in assets under management and is now entering its next phase of growth - expanding its product, team, and impact.

This is a rare opportunity to join early, work directly on production AI systems, and shape how intelligent software augments human decision-making at scale.

The Opportunity

You’ll join a small, high-caliber team building AI-native products from the ground up - not prototypes, but real systems used daily by customers.

This role is deeply hands-on and product-focused. You’ll move fast, ship often, and own problems end-to-end - from idea → build → production → iteration.

What You’ll Work On

Build and ship AI-powered product features (copilots, agents, automations, summarization, recommendations)
Design and scale LLM systems (RAG pipelines, tool use, orchestration layers, eval frameworks)
Rapidly prototype using cutting-edge tools (e.g. OpenAI, Claude, agent frameworks) and productionize what works
Own the full development lifecycle - from identifying opportunities to deploying and iterating in production
Partner closely with product, design, and end users to deliver meaningful outcomes
Continuously improve system quality across performance, reliability, and cost

What We’re Looking For

Strong software engineering fundamentals with experience building production-grade applications and systems end-to-end
Proven startup experience - comfortable operating in fast-moving, ambiguous environments with high ownership
Hands-on experience developing user-facing applications, not just models (APIs, workflows, product features)
Experience with LLMs / GenAI (RAG, prompting, agents, evaluation, etc.)
Ability to move quickly from idea → prototype → production
Full-stack capability, or ability to leverage AI tools to fill gaps and ship complete features
Clear communicator with a strong product and user-centric mindset

Bonus:

Experience in fintech, data-heavy systems, or workflow automation
Experience designing scalable AI systems and evaluation frameworks

Why This Role

Real product impact - your work directly affects how customers operate day-to-day
High ownership - small team, big scope, meaningful technical influence
AI-first environment - built around modern tooling, not legacy systems
Exceptional team - experienced operators from top tech companies and startups
Strong backing - $100M+ raised from top-tier investors
Massive growth - proven traction with rapid expansion ahead

If you’re excited about building real-world AI systems that scale, and want to work at the intersection of product, engineering, and applied AI, we encourage you to apply.
