About the role
Join a lean, elite team at a hedge fund managing more than $60 billion with about 250 people. We're looking for a product-minded engineer, as we look to build an AI related Portfolio Manager to deploy real capital towards.
What you'll do:
- Work closely with Snr Stakeholders up to our Founder in building this product from 0 to 1Own features from first sketch and workflow design all the way through to production.
- Design feedback and evaluation loops so products keep getting sharper, not just shipped and forgotten.
- What you bring
- A track record of shipping polished full-stack or application software from ambiguous, loosely defined requirements.
- Strong Python and TypeScript skills, or deep experience with a comparable product stack.
- Hands-on experience with LLM applications, AI design patterns, and evaluation methods.
- Real product sense and user empathy, and the ability to translate what users say into what they actually need.
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.
