TL;DR · AI/ML Lead Engineer

As an AI/ML Lead Engineer on the AI platform team, you will design and implement production-grade multi-agent systems to simplify financial advisor workflows by leveraging client data and portfolio performance. You will build agentic platforms, develop distributed services with robust observability, and create tools for context retrieval, reasoning, and compliance checks. Your daily work involves building automated workflows, establishing evaluation frameworks for hallucination mitigation, and managing memory and state persistence. The role requires expert-level proficiency in Python, experience with LangChain or OpenAI function calling, and hands-on expertise with vector databases like Pinecone or FAISS, as well as RAG architectures. You will solve complex problems regarding reliability, explainability, and regulatory challenges within the asset management domain by building tools that provide portfolio insights and automate internal processes for a global audience.

What you'll do

  • Design and implement production-grade multi-agent systems using leading frameworks like LangChain or OpenAI tool calling.
  • Build agent workflows incorporating context retrieval, reasoning, tool execution, and compliance checks.
  • Develop distributed services for agent execution with robust observability, monitoring, and fault handling.
  • Create tools and data agents to ensure AI models are grounded in accurate financial data.
  • Establish evaluation frameworks to mitigate hallucinations and ensure accuracy in multi-step reasoning.
  • Implement memory management, state persistence, and context handling strategies for AI agents.
  • Integrate AI agents and chatbots into client-facing platforms to surface portfolio insights.
  • Optimize infrastructure for model serving, vector databases, caching, and cost efficiency.

What we're looking for

  • Must have 5+ years of software engineering experience.
  • Must have 2+ years of experience building and deploying LLM, GenAI, or agent-based systems in production environments.
  • Expert-level proficiency in Python is required.
  • Experience implementing multi-step agent workflows using frameworks like LangChain or OpenAI function calling is required.
  • Hands-on experience with vector databases, RAG architectures, and data grounding techniques is required.
  • Experience building distributed services or microservices architectures is required.
  • Experience implementing observability, monitoring, and fault-tolerant systems for high-availability applications is required.
  • Must be authorized to work for any employer in the U.S.
