  • Comfortable building robust systems that can execute real world trades with extremely high accuracy.
  • Comfortable working directly with executives and acting as de-facto PM.
  • Willingness to work in-person in the Bay Area; relocation support available.
  • Preferred Competencies

  • Prior experience with professional financial data providers (CapIQ, Bloomberg, FactSet, Refinitiv).
  • Familiarity with quantamental investing, portfolio optimization, or financial ML.Exposure to ML ops practices (feature stores, model registries, evaluation frameworks).
  • Basic experience with LLM / RAG tooling for document processing (filings, transcripts).
  • Basic understanding of trading and financial markets.
  • Profile

  • You’re a founder-type engineer : comfortable owning undefined problems and building systems from zero.
  • You can think like both an engineer and a PM : defining requirements, prioritizing, and shipping.
  • You thrive in small teams with high autonomy and close collaboration.
  • You’re pragmatic : quick to deliver something useful, then iterate.
  • You want to build the technical backbone of a hedge fund from day one.
  • Current legal authorization to work in the US required; visa sponsorship considered later for full-time employees.
