We’re hiring a Founding AI Engineer to lead the development of AI systems powering the next generation of intelligent financial tools at Alinea. You will own and evolve AI Allie, our in-app AI investing companion, and help shape how AI is integrated across the entire Alinea platform. This role sits at the intersection of large language models, financial data, and product experience. You’ll build systems that help users learn about investing, make decisions, and engage more deeply with their finances.

Job Responsibility

  • Own the architecture and development of AI systems powering AI Allie
  • Build and ship LLM-powered product features used by hundreds of thousands of users
  • Design retrieval systems that ground model responses in financial data and internal knowledge
  • Develop evaluation frameworks to measure model quality, reasoning accuracy, and safety
  • Improve model performance, latency, and cost efficiency in production
  • Build infrastructure for prompt orchestration, memory, and contextual personalization
  • Design guardrails appropriate for financial products and regulated environments
  • Rapidly prototype and ship new AI-driven product capabilities

Requirements

  • 3+ years of experience building production software systems
  • Experience building and shipping LLM-powered applications
  • Strong understanding of prompt design, model behavior, and evaluation techniques
  • Experience building RAG systems, embeddings pipelines, or retrieval architectures
  • Strong backend engineering skills (APIs, data pipelines, system design)
  • Ability to move quickly from prototype to production
  • Strong product intuition and desire to build user-facing AI experiences

Nice to have

  • Experience building AI features in consumer products
  • Experience working with financial or structured data
  • Experience optimizing model cost and latency at scale
  • Experience with fine-tuning, evaluation pipelines, or model experimentation

What we offer

  • Hybrid work environment: 4 days per week in our New York office
  • Work directly with the founding team
  • High ownership and the opportunity to shape AI at a rapidly growing fintech company

  • 7+ years of experience, including 5+ years shipping Node.js and React in production
  • Startup-tested: you've worked at a Seed or Series A company, made hard tradeoffs under pressure, and know what it takes to move fast with limited resources
  • Owned infrastructure end-to-end — CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions, Docker deployments to container orchestration, static assets to S3, and AWS services including Lambda, ECS, CloudWatch, and RDS
  • Has shipped agentic or voice AI products in production — you have real scars from debugging non-deterministic, latency-sensitive systems at scale
  • Deeply familiar with LLM failure modes: hallucination, context limits, tool-calling reliability — and knows how to build guardrails that actually hold
  • Fluent in AI tooling across the full development lifecycle, from architecture and planning through to scaling
  • strong prompt engineer who knows how to get reliable output from models
  • Product-minded: you think in user outcomes, not tickets, and you push back when the spec doesn't make sense
  • Highly autonomous — you identify what matters, prioritize ruthlessly, and execute without hand-holding
  • Wired for speed without sacrificing quality: you ship fast and ship things users love, and you know the difference between acceptable debt and the kind that kills momentum

  • Own intelligent matching and discovery systems — the core AI that powers how we connect the right people at the right time
  • Make high-leverage architectural decisions: when to use RAG vs. fine-tuning, how to structure memory across agent sessions, how to instrument and debug non-deterministic systems
  • Be a genuine thought partner to the founders on product strategy — shape the roadmap, not just execute it
  • Set the engineering bar and build the culture as the team scales
