The posting

Our client is a fast-growing, venture-backed AI startup building production-grade agentic AI systems for the financial services sector. Currently cash-flow positive with $30M in Series A funding, their platform reaches over 10 million users across 100+ financial institutions.

Why You Should Join

  • Work at the rare intersection of startup growth, financial stability, and real-world AI scale.
  • Own a core engineering domain with the equity, autonomy, and impact of an early founding team member.
  • Deploy production-grade AI systems directly into regulated, high-stakes environments rather than building experimental prototypes.

What You'll Do

  • Own a core technical domain end-to-end, driving architecture, engineering standards, and business outcomes.
  • Architect and build production systems directly through hands-on technical leadership.
  • Partner closely with founders and product leadership on high-impact architectural decisions.
  • Guide and unblock senior engineers while elevating the overall technical bar.
  • Build systems across AI agents, AI runtimes, conversational/voice AI, data platforms, and AI-native product experiences.
  • Drive an AI-native engineering culture using frontier tools such as Claude Code and Cursor.

Required Experience

  • 10+ years of engineering experience, with prior roles as Principal Engineer, Staff Engineer, Chief Engineer, or Technical Founder.
  • Proven experience building and owning large-scale production systems with 0 to 1 delivery.
  • Deep expertise in AI, LLMs, agentic systems, and modern AI development workflows.
  • Strong hands-on coding and system architecture capabilities.
  • Background in conversational AI, voice AI, RAG, AI evaluation systems, or fintech/regulated financial environments.
  • BS degree in Computer Science or a STEM-related field.
  • Ability to work on-site 5 days a week in San Francisco, CA.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
