Senior AI Engineer
About The Position
My client, a highly respected long-horizon hedge fund, has launched a small, elite AI group with one goal: build an AI that can research and invest better than the best humans. They are hiring their first Senior Research Engineer to architect the agentic system at the center of that effort. You will design, validate, and deploy the agentic system that powers every research and investment decision the group makes. You will work hand-in-hand with the group's co-head, a deep domain expert, on problems like architecting a harness that reliably delivers superhuman breadth and depth on difficult, individual research tasks, building a system where hundreds of agents collaborate on long-running research projects and keep learning from the collective experience of the whole fleet, and developing a trustworthy validation framework that makes rapid iteration and continuous self-improvement possible. As one of the first technical hires, you will also help grow the broader team, shape the group's research and development environment, and set its culture from day one.
Requirements
- Experience operating as an applied researcher and builder at the frontier of AI.
- Hands-on experience building robust agentic systems that are reliably useful in production.
- You love finding new ideas in research papers and quickly testing them in practice.
- A self-starter with a bias to action, and the tenacity to push through projects others might call impossible.
- Energized by steep learning curves and constantly expanding your skills.
- Confident but intellectually humble: strong opinions, loosely held.
- You have been part of, or helped lead, world-class technical teams and are excited to get in on the ground floor of something new.
Nice To Haves
- No finance background is required.
