Bootstrapped and profitable
$25M+ in revenue after growing 10x last year
60+ people across the company
20-person engineering team, doubling to 40 this year
As one of our first AI/ML hires, you'll have the unique opportunity to:
Work on groundbreaking projects involving a mix of LLMs and traditional ML
Come up with novel research synthesis ideas using NLP techniques and prove their business value
Collaborate closely with our external partners to fuel our growth
Contribute to product decisions, direction and prioritization
Shape our engineering culture
Build a search ranking algorithm across open text, integrating signals from user interactions (e.g., edits, copies, and engagement metrics) alongside semantic and PostgreSQL-based text search to improve relevance and ranking across multiple features.
Build your coworker: build an in-house prompt system that can use production signals or human labels to constantly and iteratively refine and improve prompts and output
Build and open source a benchmark for evaluating LLM output on investment research specific tasks
Build an agentic entity deduping system that uses signals from within the app and valuable external data sources / google to clean up the last mile of great STT output: entity resolution
Build a knowledge graph custom to every research sprint that begins as highly unstructured interview data and leverages agentic infrastructure to pull in data where necessary and constantly rebalance the graph and the derived output.
We're looking for product-minded ML engineers who:
