About the role

Are you passionate about engineering and AI? The AI revolution is here, and we’re looking for someone who wants to own, transform, and integrate AI within a private equity ecosystem. In this role, you will act as an internal innovation hub, generating ideas and rapidly building proof-of-concepts. This is a hands-on position where you’ll be expected to move quickly from concept to prototype, using tools like Claude Code and other modern AI tooling to build and iterate fast. From a technical standpoint, the team is relatively lean and tends to leverage off-the-shelf solutions where appropriate, with a strong emphasis on the Microsoft ecosystem. You’ll also manage a small initial team, with potential for that function to grow over time. Full transparency: without private credit or private equity experience, and without being genuinely up to speed on the current AI landscape - with clear, end-to-end examples of building agentic AI solutions that have meaningfully improved processes, you’ll likely face an uphill battle in the interview process. Comp varies by experience with a range of (250k-350k)

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
