AI Engineer – New York

We are partnering with a leading high-frequency trading firm to find an AI Engineer who can help shape the next generation of intelligent automation across the organization. This is a role for someone who enjoys building agentic systems that make complex processes smoother, smarter and faster and who relishes the challenge of doing so in a technically demanding environment.

What You Will do:

  • You will be deeply involved in developing AI-driven agents and stitching them into the firm’s broader ecosystem. Rather than working on isolated models, they’ll be creating tools that people across the business will rely on. Responsibilities include:
  • Crafting intelligent agents and automation pipelines using Python

  • Connecting these agents to large, established internal systems

  • Testing and comparing external AI technologies to understand practical strengths and limitations

  • Working closely with engineering, operations, and research groups to ensure solutions align with real workflows

  • Improving an internal evaluation framework used to measure agent performance and reliability

  • Contributing to code quality standards, documentation, and development processes

  • Investigating performance issues or failures to keep systems robust

The firm is known for its combination of technical excellence and openness to new ideas. Engineers here work in an environment that values experimentation, collaboration and thoughtful engineering over hierarchy. It’s a place where people who love solving hard problems – especially those tied to automation, AI and large-scale systems tend to thrive.

What the firm provides:

  • A global team representing 40+ nationalities, offering a truly international engineering culture

  • Base Salary Range $175,000$200,000 USD
  • Participation in a performance-oriented bonus program and global profit-sharing

  • 401(k) matching up to 50%

  • Comprehensive health benefits (medical, dental, vision, mental health, disability, life)

  • 25 paid vacation days in addition to market holidays

  • A workplace designed for high performance and community – quality meals, clubs, sports groups and regular social events

Who Will Thrive Here

We’re looking for someone with both technical depth and curiosity:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, AI, or a related field

  • 3+ years of Python engineering experience

  • Commercial or open-source work involving AI agents or automation frameworks

  • Strong familiarity with core AI/ML libraries and third-party integrations

  • Experience with tools like Git, Slack, and Confluence

  • A problem-solver who stays steady in a fast-paced environment

  • U.S. work eligibility; sponsorship isn’t available
