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.
