Software Engineer, Applied AI (US)

We are looking for a Software Engineer (Applied AI) with 1-8 years of experience to join a small, high-caliber team as a forward-deployed engineer building AI-powered solutions for mid-market alternative investment firms. You'll work alongside three other engineers at a company backed by Primary Ventures and angels like the CTOs of Tiger Global and Marshall Wace. This is a customer-facing role where you'll combine product engineering with hands-on AI development, curating technical roadmaps for clients, building solutions directly with end customers, and shipping production systems using LLMs across every layer of the stack. If you're passionate about the craft of software engineering, comfortable with ambiguity, and want to be the bridge between AI and real business impact, this is your role.

What will you be doing?

• Work directly with asset managers and their portfolio companies to understand data challenges and build custom AI-powered solutions

• Own end-to-end product delivery from customer discovery through production deployment using Python, FastAPI, Temporal, and React

• Curate and manage customer-specific technical roadmaps, part PM, part engineer, ensuring solutions map to real business outcomes

• Use LLMs and AI agents extensively in your daily workflow, building on top of the team's AI-native internal infrastructure

• Collaborate closely with the founding team in a high-autonomy environment with minimal process overhead and broad ownership
