Senior AI Engineer - Geneva Trading, Chicago
Geneva Trading is a technology-driven proprietary trading firm where engineering directly impacts performance. We're looking for a senior engineer who can lead the adoption of AI across the organization. Someone who stays on the cutting edge, experiments relentlessly, and ships the practices that actually work to the rest of the team.
This is a hands-on IC position for someone who thrives on autonomy, moves fast, and measures their success by how much more effective they make everyone around them.
What You'll Do
Explore and evaluate. The AI landscape is evolving weekly. You'll stay current on new models, tools, frameworks, and techniques and have the judgment to separate signal from noise.
Experiment and validate. You'll identify specific problems across the engineering organization, prototype AI-driven solutions, and measure whether they improve outcomes. Not every experiment will work, and that's expected.
Ship and scale. When something works, you'll package it into workflows, tooling, and best practices that the broader team can adopt. This means writing clean, production-quality code.
Measure impact. You'll define and track metrics around engineering efficiency — cycle time, developer throughput, time-to-resolution, or whatever matters most to the team. The goal is demonstrable, measurable improvement.
Lead through influence. You'll drive adoption through training, documentation, and collaboration. You'll need to earn trust by consistently delivering results.
