Founding Engineer – AI & Capital Markets

Our client is an early-stage startup building an AI-native operating system for capital markets and trading. The goal is to rethink how trading organisations operate by addressing a long-standing gap in the market: modern, flexible software that truly supports front-office and trading-adjacent workflows.

The company’s first product targets a high-impact middle-office problem—the reconciliation of exotic and complex trades. This is a painful, manual, and mission-critical process for trading firms today. From this wedge, the platform is designed to expand across the entire trading lifecycle, laying the groundwork for a category-defining system in capital markets.

What you’ll do

• Architect and build the core platform from the ground up, making foundational decisions around scalability, data flows, and system design

• Design systems that ingest and reason over complex financial data, including market data feeds and trading systems, in an environment where requirements evolve quickly

• Take AI systems from concept to production, with responsibility for model serving, evaluation, monitoring, and reliability in enterprise settings

• Act as a true Founding Engineer, owning critical technical decisions and working closely with the founders in a low-bureaucracy, high-impact environment

If you’re excited by capital markets and want to help define the future of how trading firms operate, this is a rare opportunity to build something foundational from day one. You’ll be working on real, high-stakes problems at the core of global markets—shaping technology that could become infrastructure for the next generation of trading. Apply today to be part of the founding journey.
