Senior Member of Technical Staff

About us

ATG (Autonomous Technologies Group) is an AI lab deploying frontier reasoning systems within financial markets.

Founders: Early GPU cloud (9 figure exit).

Investors: Garry Tan / YC + Founder of one of the most successful quant funds, Box Group (Plaid, Ramp, Stripe), top-tier angels.

As a Senior Member of Technical Staff, you’ll set the technical bar and shape the core systems underpinning our research and engineering. You’ll drive high‑leverage architectural decisions, mentor engineers across domains, and help define how agentic AI workflows are integrated into our AI‑native investment platform. This is a hands‑on, principal IC role — not a manager.

• Architect and implement mission‑critical systems and infrastructure across the AI stack
• Lead technical design, code quality, and best practices for engineering excellence
• Operate as a multiplier—mentoring, reviewing code, and raising standards
• Tackle the hardest problems in distributed systems, data, and AI engineering
• Shape how agentic workflows fit into the system, ensuring robustness, scalability, and integration with backend and infra layers

• Extensive experience (typically 6+ years) building and scaling complex systems
• Deep understanding of distributed systems, data infrastructure, and backend architecture
• High proficiency in Python plus at least one systems language (Go, Rust, C++)
• Track record of technical leadership and mentorship in elite teams
• Relentless pursuit of technical excellence and first‑principles problem solving
• Experience designing and deploying agentic systems for LLMs (e.g. Lang Chain, Lang Graph, Semantic Kernel, Haystack, or custom frameworks)
• Strong grasp of orchestration patterns: state management, persistence/checkpointing, streaming pipelines, human‑in‑the‑loop flows, multi‑agent coordination
• Familiarity with structured outputs (e.g. Pydantic), observability/tracing (Lang Smith, Open Telemetry), and vector/knowledge store integrations
• Experience with cloud platforms, containerization, and orchestration (AWS/GCP/Azure, Docker, Kubernetes)
• Expertise in leveraging the latest AI tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, etc.) to increase productivity & code output while maintaining high code quality, maintainability, and structure
