• Document and package successful workflows for broader team use, and share best practices to raise overall AI fluency within the group.
• Ensure all solutions comply with data licensing, information barriers, and firmwide compliance standards.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR:

• A bachelor’s degree in any field and demonstrated experience building with agentic AI tools (such as Claude Code), including hands-on development of functional prototypes.
• Proficiency in reading, modifying, and debugging code, and comfort working with APIs, data feeds, and lightweight scripting (e.g., Python).
• Solid understanding of the fundamental investment research process, including familiarity with financial models, thesis development, and monitoring.
• Keen product and process orientation, with the ability to translate user needs into practical, usable tools for a fast-paced investment environment.
• Excellent problem-solving skills, commercial judgment, and the ability to operate independently amid ambiguity.
• Experience with financial data sources (e.g., Bloomberg, FactSet, Capital IQ) and prior work building internal tools or automations is preferred.
• The expected annual base salary for this position is $130,000 to $170,000. Our compensation and benefits package includes variable compensation in the form of a year-end bonus, guaranteed in the first year of hire, and benefits including medical and prescription drug coverage, 401(k) contribution matching, wellness reimbursement, family building benefits, and a charitable gift match program.
