Today, institutions will spend 80% of their time gathering information for and creating first drafts of materials by hand before iterating on and refining their decks, models, and pitches.\nFarsight not only gives them that time back to focus on what is important, but we also bring new insights and knowledge to their materials that they wouldn’t be able to uncover without the help of our financial-focused AI.\nOur Team\nOur team has had a wide range of experience that uniquely equips us to capture this massive opportunity. Our team comes from leading financial institutions like Evercore, General Atlantic and Menlo Ventures, supercharged by scalable engineering and AI skills from companies including Amazon, Hugging Face and the MIT Media Lab. We've learned the ins and outs of building successful startups with a team of former founders and founding engineers. We focus on hiring the best so that we can become the best, so we hope you apply!\nWe are entirely based in Manhattan, New York City, and are in-person 4 days a week (except Fridays, which are remote).\nJob Description\nFarsight operates at the cutting-edge of AI to deliver human-like work within some of the world’s largest, and most critical, financial organizations.

On the software side specifically, your work will range from longer-term research projects to bug fixes alike - all of which crucial to our company’s success.\nFarsight is a highly collaborative environment where you and your highly motivated, passionate team members will continuously be working together to create new technology and applications that deliver the robust, accurate, market-changing solutions that our customers have come to expect.\nDesired Qualifications\n4+ years of full-time software engineering experience\n\nDeep knowledge and experience with building full-stack, user-friendly applications ready for scale\n\nExperience with Typescript, Python, and cloud-based infrastructure like AWS\n\nStrong interest in learning and understanding generative AI technology and the current, rapidly evolving landscape\n\nExperience working in unstructured environments, where you took full autonomy in delivering projects from conception to deployment\n\nYou are intrinsically motivated and self-critical of your work, two aspects that are important for rapid innovation on a lean team\n\nAre able to effectively communicate with and collaborate with a growing team\n\nBring a positive and fun attitude to the workplace!\n\nAbove and Beyond Qualifications\nFormer early engineer or founder at a fast-growing startup\n\nPrevious AI research and/or interactions with AI systems, including utilizing closed-source models, fine-tuning and spinning up open-sourced models, etc.\n\nDeep understanding of scalable system design, performance optimization, and resilience engineering\n\nExtensive front-end experience in tandem with some experience in UI / UX design work\n\nPrevious experience interacting with customers and receiving customer feedback\n\nHave leadership experience in a technical position\n\nCompensation & Benefits\nBase salary ranges between $170,000 and $200,000 annually depending on level of experience of the applicant.\n\nEquity: Meaningful early-stage package with standard vesting (4 year / 1-year cliff)\n\nComprehensive medical, dental and vision insurance\n\nUnlimited PTO\n\nEqual Opportunity\nFarsight is proud to be an Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action employer.
