Description du poste

About Poesis

Whoever builds the leading intelligence for finance will create far more than returns. Poesis is the AI-native investment firm running autonomous agents that predict markets, construct portfolios, and manage risk. Our founders managed institutional capital at Capital Group ($3T AUM) and led enterprise ML at Goldman Sachs and Amazon. We're building a new type of firm, where live capital is the training ground for an intelligence that compounds with every signal.

About the Role

At Poesis, we are pioneering AI for investing, opening the door to improved alpha discovery, higher quality decision-making and intelligent risk management. AI agents are a core part of how we make this a reality and we’re looking for an experienced software engineer to help lead our agentic efforts. The work sits at the intersection of frontier models and production engineering, exploring what new models and harnesses make possible and turning those capabilities into real systems. This is a unique opportunity to help define how frontier AI is used in investing and shape the technical direction of our agent platform from an early stage.
