About the Role
Join a small, early-stage team building AI-powered research tools for professional investors, initially focused on healthcare.

* Create data pipelines and internal tools that make it faster and more reliable to add sources and maintain industry coverage.
* Improve AI agent parsing and extraction systems, balancing agent reasoning with deterministic software.
* Own work end to end, including data inspection, quality assurance, instrumentation, production releases, and ongoing fixes.
* Develop a company ontology and an initial earnings research product.
What We're Looking For
* At least 2 years of experience building, shipping, and operating production systems, with approximately 7 or fewer years of professional experience.
* Hands-on experience building and deploying agentic AI systems or LLM-based applications in production.
* Full-stack capability, including Python with FastAPI or an equivalent framework, TypeScript, React, backend systems, and data pipelines.
* Experience with ETL, data modeling, SQL, relational database design and optimization, and production observability and debugging.
* Experience with AWS, deployment, and real-time or streaming data systems.
* Strong ownership and production judgment, with depth in backend engineering, data infrastructure, applied AI, or product engineering.
* Capital markets, financial research, investment banking, or broader financial services experience is a plus. Familiarity with modern data tools, edge infrastructure, or AI/ML tooling is also helpful.
* Must be a US citizen and able to work on-site in New York City.
