## About the role

You'll build the AI systems top PE funds run live deals on. Ingestion that structures chaotic data rooms. Agents that run deterministic analysis on top. Review surfaces that make model output trustworthy enough for an investment committee. Evals, retrieval, tool use, orchestration — held to the bar of a real deal clock.

## What they're looking for

- You think in systems and ship in days. You know when to build the abstraction and when to skip it
- You've succeeded at something hard and can point to it. A company you started. A team you led. A product people used. A bar you cleared that most didn't
- You've built and operated production systems that broke, and you fixed them. Not prototypes. Not side projects. Real consequences
- Broad across the stack. No layer is someone else's problem
- Languages/tools: Python/React shop. We care less about stack fluency than systems instincts across the stack
- Obsessive about testing. E2E, integration, browser — you don't ship without them, and you don't trust anyone who does
