Job summary

Plutus21 is seeking a Senior AI Systems Engineer to architect the data and AI platform that powers our internal operations, client integrations, and quantitative-research tooling. You will own the design of scalable, well-governed data systems that ingest and process high volumes of financial and operational documents, and build the retrieval, agentic, and automation layers on top of them.

This is an architecture-owning role that partners with engineering, operations, and the partner group.

Qualifications

• Experience designing production RAG/retrieval/agentic AI systems: vector databases, embeddings, LangChain/LangGraph, LLM APIs.
• Strong backend engineering in Python (FastAPI/Django) and high-volume, high-concurrency system design.

Responsibilities

• Design and build production RAG and agentic AI systems for document processing, extraction, classification, and validation against source records at scale.
• Build scalable, high-concurrency backend services and orchestration for high-volume data processing.
• Design and operate infrastructure across cloud (AWS and/or GCP) with Terraform/IaC, CI/CD, containerization, monitoring, and cost optimization.
• Identify and replace manual, high-volume workflows with reliable automated systems with proper controls and human-in-the-loop review.
• Implement authentication, authorization, data access controls, and security best practices for sensitive financial data.
• Set technical direction, conduct code and design reviews, and mentor engineers.
• Partner directly with stakeholders and leadership to scope problems and execute independently.
