Head of Engineering (Applied AI and Data Infrastructure)$350,000–$400,000 Base + Top of Line BenefitsGreater New York area; hybrid, minimum 3 days in office
The Company
An established, high-performing technology and investment platform is building a new AI and data function to improve how its teams find opportunities, understand markets, and make decisions.
The organization operates in a relationship-driven, data-rich environment with access to highly differentiated company, market, financial, and people data.
The Opportunity
This is a chance to build like a startup inside a well-capitalised, long-term platform with strong internal demand for better AI-native tools.
You will become the technical centerpiece of a new engineering function, taking scrappy internal systems and turning them into scalable products used by sophisticated commercial stakeholders.
The Role
You will own the engineering, data, and AI systems that help internal teams identify patterns, surface opportunities, automate workflows, and extract insight from complex proprietary datasets.
The role is hands-on and highly visible: part senior IC, part technical lead, part product-minded builder, with scope to shape the architecture, roadmap, and future team.
