What You'll Do

  • Implement and adapt cutting-edge AI research to build systems that understand financial context and business concepts
  • Design retrieval pipelines that extract and synthesize insights from unstructured sources (PDFs, emails, presentations) with intelligent conflict resolution
  • Build agentic workflows that enable AI systems to reason about financial relationships, perform benchmarking, and conduct comparative analysis
  • Construct and maintain knowledge graphs that capture complex financial relationships, entity connections, and market dynamics
  • Create evaluation frameworks to measure and improve AI performance across investment research, due diligence, and portfolio monitoring tasks
  • Design and implement systems that maintain traceability from AI outputs to primary sources
  • Experiment with the latest LLM orchestration patterns and context management techniques for financial use cases
  • Shape technical direction and best practices for AI application development at Rowspace
  • Iterate rapidly with direct customer input, continuously refining AI systems based on real-world usage and feedback
  • Deploy and operate production systems end-to-end, with strong ownership over reliability, performance, and maintainability across the stack

What You Have

  • 3+ years of experience in machine learning, AI research, or applied AI engineering
  • Strong background in LLMs, RAG systems, and agentic AI workflows
  • Experience designing evaluation frameworks and benchmarks for AI systems
  • Interest or understanding of financial markets, investment processes, or quantitative finance (or strong interest in learning)
  • Experience with retrieval systems, embeddings, and multi-modal data processing
  • Publication record or demonstrated expertise in relevant AI research areas is a plus
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with ability to translate cutting-edge research into practical business value
  • Experience as a full-stack engineer is a plus (React/Typescript + Python/Node or similar)

  • Future Planning: 401(k) plan including employer match on contributions made while employed by Rowspace
  • Food & Fuel: Monthly commuter stipend, plus free daily lunch and a fully stocked snack bar in the office
