This is a unique opportunity to join a newly established engineering function embedded directly within the investment team. You'll work alongside investment professionals to design, build and deploy AI-powered applications that enhance every stage of the investment lifecycle - from due diligence and financial model validation to investment committee preparation and portfolio monitoring.

What You'll Do:
- Partner directly with investment professionals to understand workflows and translate them into production-ready AI applications
- Build and maintain AI-powered diligence tools, financial model review solutions, investment committee memo generators and portfolio monitoring dashboards
- Develop production-grade Python applications using modern LLM technologies, including RAG pipelines, agentic workflows and evaluation frameworks
- Own delivery from initial scoping through deployment, iteration and ongoing maintenance
- Collaborate closely with a central AI engineering function to improve shared tooling, governance and reusable components
- Ensure solutions are robust, well-tested and trusted in high-stakes investment decision-making environments
Who You Are:
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience building production applications
- Strong Python and SQL skills, with experience developing maintainable, production-quality software
- Hands-on experience building and deploying LLM-powered applications, including retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), agentic workflows and evaluation frameworks
- Experience working closely with financial, commercial or investment professionals in an embedded, consulting or product engineering capacity
- Strong understanding of software delivery, stakeholder management and working within ambiguous, fast-paced environments
