Base pay range

We’re partnering with an ambitious, venture-backed investment firm reinventing how markets are understood and traded. They’re building an AI-driven foundation model for U.S. equities — and their early prototypes are already showing major promise.

They’re now hiring their Founding Head of Engineering, the first engineering hire who will architect the core system, build demo‑ready workflows, and turn cutting‑edge research into high‑performance trading infrastructure.

This is a rare opportunity to sit at the intersection of frontier AI research, quant engineering, and real‑world portfolio impact.

What you'll work on

• Architect the first end‑to‑end engineering systems (data ingestion → modeling → execution)
• Define engineering culture, release processes, and technical standards
• Partner directly with CEO, CFO, and Chief Scientist
• Build systems capable of powering real trades with extremely high accuracy
