About the RoleAt Poesis, we are pioneering AI for investing, opening the door to improved alpha discovery, higher quality decision-making and intelligent risk management. AI agents are a core part of how we make this a reality and we're looking for an experienced software engineer to help lead our agentic efforts. The work sits at the intersection of frontier models and production engineering, exploring what new models and harnesses make possible and turning those capabilities into real systems. This is a unique opportunity to help define how frontier AI is used in investing and shape the technical direction of our agent platform from an early stage.
Challenges You'll Work On- Design and build the architecture behind a scalable, reliable agent platform that evolves as models advance
- Design and build agent-driven workflows and systems for complex investment problems.
- Develop evaluation, observability and feedback systems that make agents more reliable and capable over time.
- Solve the infrastructure and deployment challenges of running agents reliably in production.
About You- You've built agent systems at a frontier AI lab, agentic startup, top fund, big tech company, or similar.
- You've deployed agents in production and know what it takes to make them reliable.
- You have experience with orchestration, tool use, context management and grounding.
- You understand agent failure modes and have built the evaluations and observability needed to diagnose and improve them.
- You understand financial markets and have a strong interest in investing.
- You have a BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
Nice to Have- Experience working with unstructured financial data and data providers (Bloomberg, Capital IQ, Refinitiv).
- Experience with agent safety, sandboxing or guardrails in high-stakes environments.
