We use frontier ML capabilities to automate and scale our alpha-generating infrastructure across asset classes. Our team combines deep expertise in ML engineering, quant research, and systems design, working collaboratively to develop intelligent agents that operate in real-time, data-rich environments.\nPosition OverviewWe are looking for a full-time AI/ML Engineer to join the core team at AM.Dirac. This is an opportunity to build intelligent systems that power next-generation trading strategies, from idea generation to execution. You’ll work at the intersection of state-of-the-art ML (including LLMs and agentic systems), portfolio optimization, and real-time data pipelines. Your work will directly support live strategies in production and lay the foundation for autonomous investment agents.\nKey Responsibilities\nAlpha Generation: Design and refine predictive ML models trained on intraday financial data and alternative datasets to surface trade signals.\n\nData Infrastructure & Experimentation: Work with large-scale time series, macroeconomic, and unstructured datasets. Build pipelines, clean data, and rapidly iterate on hypotheses.\n\nAgentic Systems Development: Help architect and implement systems using LLMs to automate alpha research, backtesting, and live trading tasks.\n\nPortfolio Optimization: Contribute to the design of intelligent portfolio construction methods that integrate learned signals and risk constraints.\n\nTooling & Research Ops: Develop internal experimentation frameworks in Python/Jupyter and build reproducible research workflows across the team.\n\nCollaboration: Work closely with quant researchers, founders, and systems engineers to scale model impact from prototype to production.\n\nQualificationsRequired:\nEducation: BS in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or related field (MS/PhD preferred). Exceptional candidates without a degree but with strong evidence of technical ability will be considered.\n\nPython & Jupyter Expertise: Demonstrated fluency with Python, NumPy, pandas, scikit-learn, and Jupyter for ML development and research.\n\nML Proficiency: Experience with supervised learning, time series modeling, and neural networks. Bonus points for hands-on use of LLMs or reinforcement learning frameworks.\n\nExperimentation Mindset: Ability to rapidly test, measure, and iterate on model-based systems in noisy or nonstationary environments.\n\nCuriosity for Markets: While no prior finance experience is required, you should be motivated to learn how markets behave and how ML can exploit inefficiencies.\n\nPreferred:\nLLM & Agentic Workflows: Familiarity with prompting strategies, RAG, fine-tuning, or frameworks like LangChain, Transformers, or OpenAI APIs. Experience working with messy and unstructured data as inputs to modeling tasks.\n\nOpen Source Contributions or Research: Active GitHub, blog posts, or published work showing initiative and originality in applied ML.\n\nQuantitative Finance: Experience building backend infrastructure for algorithmic trading and conducting research to originate market signals and trading strategies highly preferred.\n\nWhy Join Us\nHigh Impact, Early Team Role: Shape the design and function of our AI-native investment platform from the ground up.\n\nResearch-to-Production: See your work go from notebook to production in live trading strategies.\n\nFast Iteration, Deep Focus: No bureaucracy, no endless meetings. Just focused execution with elite peers.\n\nCompensation: Competitive base salary + performance-linked bonus + benefits.\n\nCulture: Intellectually honest, independently driven, and curious about the edge of AI and finance.\n\nApplication ProcessInterested candidates should submit:\nResume/CV highlighting your technical background and ML experience\n\nOptional: Links to open-source projects, GitHub repos, or writing samples\n\nBrief note (if you'd like) on why you're excited about joining an AI-native trading firm\n\nAM.Dirac is an equal opportunity employer. We value diverse perspectives and are committed to building a team that reflects a wide range of backgrounds and experiences.\nOriginally posted on Himalayas","description_format":"text","description_chars":4405,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-20T20:31:20Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":71,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.787,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":12,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["seen:12","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-10-26T05:57:25Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":250000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/am-dirac-aiml-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/am-dirac-aiml-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-26T09:37:54Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":13104,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-27T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4455113},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4455113"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fam-dirac-aiml-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fam-dirac-aiml-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fam-dirac-aiml-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/am-dirac-aiml-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fam-dirac-aiml-engineer"}]}
