SAN FRANCISCO, CA

UP TO $600,000 TOTAL COMPENSATION + BENEFITS

We’re partnering with a highly regarded, technology‑focused investment firm to hire a Senior AI Engineer (VP level) to help redefine how investment decisions are made using AI.

This is a rare opportunity to build AI‑powered systems from the ground up within a small, high‑impact team. You’ll work directly with senior investment professionals to design and deploy production‑grade AI applications that transform traditional workflows into intelligent, automated systems.

The focus is not on training foundation models, but on applying cutting‑edge LLMs and agent‑based systems to drive real business outcomes.

• Agent‑based systems and workflow automation at scale
• AWS cloud architecture with Snowflake and API integrations
• High ownership culture with direct partner collaboration

• Build AI applications for investment and decision workflows
• Design agent systems to automate repetitive analytical work
• Architect LLM‑driven systems across data and business processes
• Turn complex investment workflows into scalable AI solutions

• 5–10 years of software engineering experience (Python + AWS)
• Proven experience building production LLM/AI systems
• Strong system design skills (RAG, agents, LLM orchestration)
• Strong product judgment and ability to evaluate tradeoffs

• Greenfield opportunity to shape AI in private equity investing
• Direct access to senior investors and decision‑making workflows
• High ownership with clear, immediate business impact
• Top‑tier compensation in a highly technical, entrepreneurial team

This is a unique opportunity to build AI systems that fundamentally reshape how complex investment decisions are made.
