About the role
Responsibilities
Build the core AI platform that powers a copilot inside a new, AI-native trading experience.
Develop a high-performance backend in Rust that supports streaming responses, low-latency tool execution, caching, and reliable orchestration of model + tools.
Design robust APIs and runtime components for AI capabilities: authentication/authorization, rate limits, auditing, tracing, retries, and fallbacks.
Build safe action infrastructure for trading workflows: deterministic order previews, confirmation flows, idempotent tool calls, and comprehensive audit logs.
Partner with product and frontend to enable great AI-native UX patterns (streaming, citations/grounding, “why” explanations, reversible actions).
Develop a deep understanding of the business domain and help translate it into secure, resilient platform primitives.
Requirements
At least 8 years of experience and strong proficiency with any programming language.
Strong knowledge of systems programming fundamentals: concurrency, networking, performance profiling, reliability, and distributed systems patterns.
Experience designing and operating production APIs/services with strong observability, correctness guarantees, and security considerations.
Ability to work with stakeholders to define platform requirements, design the architecture, and deliver it end-to-end.
High degree of self-motivation and willingness to jump into unfamiliar areas to solve problems.
Nice-to-Haves
Strong Rust experience in production (Tokio/async, service design, performance tuning).
Experience building platforms for AI/ML inference, tool execution, streaming, or retrieval/grounding systems.
Experience in trading systems (order lifecycle, execution, risk checks, auditability) or other mission-critical financial infrastructure.
Deep experience with trading across asset classes, margin types, etc.
Experience with Postgres performance and data modeling in high-throughput systems.
Compensation
Base Salary Range: $200,000 - $350,000 (does not include bonuses or equity).
Competitive compensation packages, company equity, 401k matching, gender neutral parental leave, and full medical, dental and vision insurance.
In-office benefits include lunch stipends, fully stocked kitchens, happy hours, a great location, and amazing views.
Own reliability and quality for an AI copilot in a trading platform. Design evaluation systems, benchmarks, quality gates, model improvement loops, and AI monitoring for correctness, safety, and performance in market analysis and trading workflows. Requires 8+ years production software experience and strong ML eval expertise.
