ROLE OVERVIEW

As we scale our AI platform, we are building production-grade multi-agent systems that power advisor copilots, investment intelligence workflows, and autonomous research capabilities. We are seeking a Staff AI Engineer to architect, build, and operationalize these systems at scale. This is a hands-on, high-impact engineering role focused on shipping reliable, enterprise-ready agentic AI systems into production.

PROJECTS

Advisor Copilot (Multi-Agent Systems)
Build a production-grade, multi-agent copilot for financial advisors that retrieves and reasons over client data, analyzes portfolio exposures and risk scenarios, generates personalized insights, enforces compliance guardrails, and drafts client-ready communications — all within a monitored, auditable architecture.
Workflow Automation
Design end-to-end AI workflows spanning client discovery, investment research synthesis, portfolio construction and optimization, and compliant meeting preparation — replacing fragmented tools with intelligent, autonomous systems.
AI Agent Platform & Infrastructure
Architect a scalable multi-agent platform with orchestration engines, memory and state management, dynamic tool invocation, structured output validation, observability, fault tolerance, and automated evaluation — solving reliability, explainability, and regulatory challenges at scale.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Design and implement production-grade multi-agent systems using modern agent frameworks (e.g., Pydantic AI, Agent Harness, Tool-Calling, Code Execution)
Build agent workflows that integrate context retrieval, reasoning, tool execution, validation, and compliance checks,
Develop distributed services for agent execution with strong observability, monitoring, and failure handling
Establish evaluation frameworks for multi-step reasoning accuracy, groundedness, hallucination mitigation, and financial correctness
Implement memory management, context handling, and agent state persistence strategies
Partner with product, design, and engineering teams to translate business requirements into robust agent architectures
Optimize systems for latency, cost efficiency, and reliability in production
Contribute to infrastructure decisions around model serving, vector databases, caching, and orchestration layers

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

3+ years of experience building and shipping Generative AI and LLM applications into production, 6+ years of ML experience.
Demonstrated experience designing and deploying multi-agent systems of various architecture
Strong experience with multimodal LLMs, knowledge graph, data synthesis, LLM fine tuning, reinforcement learning, agent harness, agent memory
Deep proficiency in Python and modern AI frameworks
Experience with distributed systems, cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Azure), and containerized deployments
Experience implementing monitoring, evaluation, and reliability safeguards for AI systems
Strong systems thinking — ability to design beyond single-model solutions toward coordinated, multi-component architectures
Resilience and adaptability - experience working at early-stage startups is a plus
