    About the Role

    Join a small, early-stage team building AI-powered research tools for professional investors, starting with healthcare. As a founding engineer, you will build the infrastructure and products that help AI agents turn diverse data sources into reliable, continuously updated industry models.

    What You'll Do

    • Build and ship features across frontend applications, real-time systems, and backend infrastructure.

    • Create data pipelines and internal tools that help analysts add sources and maintain sector coverage.

    • Improve agent-based parsing and extraction systems for greater capability and reliability.

    • Own projects end to end, including data inspection, quality assurance, instrumentation, production releases, and debugging.

    • Develop a company ontology and an earnings research product.

    • Experience with ETL, data modeling, SQL, relational database design and optimization, and PostgreSQL or similar systems.

    • Experience with AWS, real-time data systems, observability, monitoring, and debugging distributed systems.

    • Strong ownership, sound judgment about when to use AI agents versus deterministic systems, and willingness to work across unfamiliar technologies.

    • Financial research, capital markets, investment banking, or broader financial services experience is helpful. Familiarity with modern data tools, edge infrastructure, or AI/ML tooling is also a plus.

    • Must be a U.S. citizen and able to work on-site in New York City. Full-time commitment required.
