Responsibilities
You solve problems end-to-end: Our team owns features vertically. You'll architect agent behaviors, build backend systems, optimize ML pipelines, and ship product features – often in the same week
You have a high bar for quality: In financial crime, 'mostly working' isn't good enough. You obsess over edge cases, build robust error handling, and ship systems that institutions trust with billions in transactions
You want to push AI agent capabilities: We're at the frontier of what's possible with AI agents in production. You'll experiment with the latest models, design novel agentic workflows, and solve problems that don't have Stack Overflow answers
You communicate with clarity: We move fast with minimal process. You need to articulate tradeoffs, communicate blockers, and make technical decisions with limited information
You're energized by impact: Our customers protect the financial system from criminals. Your code directly prevents money laundering and terrorism financing. That matters
You hate meetings: You would much rather focus your time on building, being productive, and shipping code
