Applied AI Engineer – High-Growth Fintech

We’re partnering with a rapidly scaling, VC-backed fintech building an AI-first platform transforming how financial advice is delivered.

In under three years, the company has scaled to $2B+ in assets under management and is now entering its next phase of growth – expanding its product, team, and impact.

This is a rare opportunity to join early, work directly on production AI systems, and shape how intelligent software augments human decision-making at scale.

The Opportunity

You’ll join a small, high-caliber team building AI-native products from the ground up – not prototypes, but real systems used daily by customers.

This role is deeply hands-on and product-focused. You’ll move fast, ship often, and own problems end-to-end – from idea → build → production → iteration.

What You’ll Work On

  • Build and ship AI-powered product features (copilots, agents, automations, summarization, recommendations)
  • Design and scale LLM systems (RAG pipelines, tool use, orchestration layers, eval frameworks)
  • Rapidly prototype using cutting-edge tools (e.g. OpenAI, Claude, agent frameworks) and productionize what works
  • Own the full development lifecycle – from identifying opportunities to deploying and iterating in production
  • Partner closely with product, design, and end users to deliver meaningful outcomes
  • Continuously improve system quality across performance, reliability, and cost

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong software engineering fundamentals with experience building production-grade applications and systems end-to-end
  • Proven startup experience – comfortable operating in fast-moving, ambiguous environments with high ownership
  • Hands-on experience developing user-facing applications, not just models (APIs, workflows, product features)
  • Experience with LLMs / GenAI (RAG, prompting, agents, evaluation, etc.)
  • Ability to move quickly from idea → prototype → production
  • Full-stack capability, or ability to leverage AI tools to fill gaps and ship complete features
  • Clear communicator with a strong product and user-centric mindset

Bonus:

  • Experience in fintech, data-heavy systems, or workflow automation
  • Experience designing scalable AI systems and evaluation frameworks

Why This Role

  • Real product impact – your work directly affects how customers operate day-to-day
  • High ownership – small team, big scope, meaningful technical influence
  • AI-first environment – built around modern tooling, not legacy systems
  • Exceptional team – experienced operators from top tech companies and startups
  • Strong backing – $100M+ raised from top-tier investors
  • Massive growth – proven traction with rapid expansion ahead

If you’re excited about building real-world AI systems that scale, and want to work at the intersection of product, engineering, and applied AI, we encourage you to apply.

At Orbis Group, we are committed to creating an inclusive and diverse workplace. Research indicates that candidates, especially from underrepresented backgrounds, often hesitate to apply for jobs if they don't meet every qualification.

If you're excited about a role but don't perfectly align with every requirement, we encourage you to apply. Your unique skills and experiences may be the perfect fit for the job or other opportunities that arise.
