What You’ll Do
We are seeking an AI Adoption Engineer to serve as the primary technical partner for Jump’s back office teams, including Finance, Legal, HR, and other non-trading functions, as they integrate AI into their day-to-day work. This role sits at the intersection of AI research, infrastructure, and core business applications. As a hands-on AI expert, you will pair with developers and AI champions across the firm to identify high-value use cases, build solutions using Jump's internal AI platform, and work closely with R&D and infrastructure to unlock new capabilities as needed. You will own the full lifecycle of back office AI solutions, from discovery and stakeholder conversations to prototyping, deployment, and ongoing iteration, while establishing best practices for prompting, agent design, evaluation, robustness, and responsible AI use.
We believe that driving successful adoption across the firm requires a fluid mix of technical depth, product intuition, and genuine curiosity about how business teams operate. We welcome candidates who demonstrate knowledge of current best practices, follow new patterns closely as they emerge, experiment often, and are equally comfortable working with technical and non-technical stakeholders. The ideal person for this role is confident in the immediate and measurable benefits of well-designed AI applications. They are eager to build, but equally happy to teach, and capable of applying new techniques and technologies within a responsible, secure, and scalable framework.
