Responsibilities
- Embed with clients and drive AI-led workflow transformation. Work on-site with PMs and research analysts to understand how they work today, identify high leverage opportunities for automation and augmentation, and build production grade AI workflows that transform their processes.
- Translate client workflows into skills, agents, and connectors. Partner with the engineering team to convert new data connectors, skills, and agents. Serve as the bridge between "how investment teams think" and "how the platform is built", and the domain fluency is what makes that translation meaningful and precise.
- Contribute to the product feedback loop. Be a daily power user of the platform and bring structured, actionable feedback to the product team for new features.
- Build the firm's knowledge base for your domain. Contribute to the firm's skill and agent library of best-in-class research, risk, operations, data science, and technology best practices. These skills are designed to work collectively as a single knowledge base for AI to connect technology, data, research, risk, and trading into a single platform.
Requirements
- 3 - 7 years of experience in a core equity research function at a top tier hedge fund, asset manager, sell side research, RMS vendor platform, or institutional investment fund
- Multiple hands-on projects building with AI (e.g., GitHub repository of skills built for research, various side projects, and other demonstrated practical AI interests) while using Python
- Avid user of AI tools (genuine integration into workflows vs experimentation) and have strong views on what works, what breaks, and where the leverage is
- Hands-on experience leveraging financial data vendors (e.g., Bloomberg, Visible Alpha, FactSet, PitchBook, CapIQ, or similar)
- Ability to build trust quickly, ask the right questions, and navigate unstructured conversations with senior investors and C-suite execs at top hedge funds
