Job description

Defining how AI and finance work together — securely, intelligently, and at scale.

We at Unique AI are building a highly secure generative AI platform, tailored for the financial sector. Utilizing AI, LLM, agentic and Skills technologies, we aim to revolutionize the Financial industry with an AI Automated workforce. Our mission is to increase efficiency, improve alpha, reduce risk, and increase quality across everything we do. We offer an inclusive environment at Unique and we encourage all genders and all neuro-diversities to apply. We are now looking for a Product Engineer who thrives on solving real customer problems end-to-end — shaping what we build with Product and Design, then building and shipping it across frontend and backend.

• 4+ years of industry experience in a software engineering role, preferably building a SaaS product, including:
  • A track record of significant impact your work had on the product and/or the team
  • Strong full-stack ability with a modern, typed web stack — we use TypeScript, React/Next.js and NestJS with GraphQL and PostgreSQL, but if you've excelled with a different stack and learn quickly, that's fine
  • A genuine product mindset: translating ambiguous problems into scoped, shippable increments and delivering real value to users
  • Comfort with end-to-end ownership across frontend, backend, and everything in between
• Languages: Fluent in English (our working language)
• Communication: Strong communicator with ability to work with technical and business stakeholders, and to communicate clearly when navigating ambiguity
• Ownership mindset: bias to ship, iterate from feedback, and raise the bar on UX and reliability
• Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
• Nice to have experience/skills: generative AI / LLM product surfaces, enterprise SaaS, fintech, accessibility, or cloud-native platforms (Kubernetes/Azure)

• Own features end-to-end: from design collaboration with Product and Design through building, shipping, and iterating in production
• Turn ambiguous customer problems into clear technical plans and incremental deliveries that reach users fast
• Build and evolve user-facing experiences (chat, knowledge, admin, and related surfaces) with a high bar for performance, accessibility, and security
• Design and implement backend capabilities (GraphQL APIs, services, data models, integrations) that are typed, testable, and maintainable
• Instrument, observe, and improve shipped features using real metrics and user feedback
• Grow the team's capacity through code review, shared patterns, documentation, and helping others do their best work

• Competitive Salary USD 150k-190k DOE
• Additional guaranteed vacation Enjoy our company-standard 25-day paid vacation policy. We guarantee that every employee in the company takes full advantage of this time off
• Leading Company A chance to be part of a leading company in a rapidly evolving industry
• Innovative & Impactful Projects Engage in groundbreaking projects within the Generative AI space. Contribute towards building the backend & frontend foundations enabling financial institutions to operationalize AI.
• Autonomy You’ll make architectural decisions and own them end-to-end
• Culture A modern company with flat hierarchies that focuses on a people-oriented culture and places great emphasis on transparency and open communication
• Hybrid set up Based in New York with flexibility for remote days
• Security-first culture Develop systems trusted by leading financial institutions.
• Modern stack NestJS, TypeScript, Prisma, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, Azure.
