Jobbeschreibung

Job Description

Defining how AI and finance work together — securely, intelligently, and at scale. We at Unique AI are building a generative AI platform that financial institutions trust with high-stakes work: finance-grade in its reliability, auditability, and security. Banks, asset managers, and hedge funds use our platform to put LLM-based agents to work inside real workflows — investment research, client advisory, risk, and compliance. Our mission is to augment financial professionals, not replace them: AI takes on the repetitive and routine so people can spend their time on judgment, clients, and performance. We offer an inclusive environment at Unique and we encourage all genders and all neuro-diversities to apply.

• Production GenAI delivery: demonstrated experience designing, deploying, operating and evaluating LLM-based applications in production environments, including agentic systems with tool calling and orchestration
• History of successfully delivering projects for clients: translating customer requirements into tailored solutions
• Industry expertise: expertise in financial services environments (private banking, wealth/ asset management, insurance) is a plus
• Languages: English (French and/ or German is a plus)
• Education: Master’s or Ph.D. degree in Data Science, Computer Science, Mathematics, Engineering, Statistics, or a related field

Job Responsibilities

• Spend time with clients, enabling them to maximize the value of our platform while providing hands-on support and expertise
• Be the primary technical point of contact for clients, ensuring smooth integration and adoption of Unique’s GenAI solutions while helping them build AI Agents using our SDK
