You'll build AI infrastructure (observability, agent orchestration, expert skills, tools as CLI's and MCP, data orchestration, and UI component libraries) that is leveraged by some of the world's most sophisticated hedge funds as part of their AI implementations, working directly with their investment teams to turn complex workflows into elegant, production-grade applications. This role sits at the intersection of AI implementation and financial software. You won't just use AI tools; you'll build AI-powered features directly into client platforms: LLM-driven research intelligence, agentic workflows, MCP-connected data sources, and automation layers that compress weeks of analyst work into seconds. The ideal candidate is a strong full-stack engineer who is fluent in modern AI tooling and deeply curious about how hedge funds and asset managers think, invest, and operate. Speed is a core part of the job. Our model is to deliver fully customized platforms in weeks, not months, which means you need to ship with conviction, iterate based on real user feedback, and know when to build from scratch versus leverage proven infrastructure.\nResponsibilities:\nAI-Powered Feature Development: Build LLM-powered features directly into client-facing platforms, including research intelligence tools, natural language query layers, automated summarization, and agentic workflows that fundamentally change how investment teams work.\nAgentic Tooling and MCP Integration: Design and implement MCP-connected data sources, agentic pipelines, and AI orchestration layers using frameworks like Claude Code, LangGraph, Open Claw, Open Code, and similar, extending client platforms with live, intelligent data access.\nFull-Stack Application Development: Build end-to-end applications tailored to each client's unique portfolio analytics, risk management, and research workflows from backend APIs to responsive frontends.\nBackend Services: Design and maintain high-performance APIs using Python (FastAPI or similar) that power client-specific data access, analytics, and AI inference.\nFrontend Development: Build intuitive, responsive user interfaces in React that enable investment teams to interact with complex financial data clearly and efficiently.\nData Pipeline Development: Build and maintain ETL pipelines that handle critical financial market data positions, securities, risk metrics, and research signals with reliability and performance.\nFinancial Analytics: Implement analytics layers for performance and risk calculations using time series and linear algebra operations (Pandas, Polars).\nShip Fast, Iterate Often: Deliver working software in compressed timelines, gather direct feedback from hedge fund users, and continuously improve, treating speed and quality as complementary, not competing.\nKubernetes Deployments: Be able to work fluidly with Kubernetes within each client environment to be able to ship fast and reliably.\nRequirements:\n3+ years of software engineering experience spanning both backend and frontend development.\nFundamental understanding of the agentic loop that is used within most agent frameworks such as Codex, Claude Code, Open Code, Cline, etc. You understand from first principles how this works.\nStrong Python skills with hands-on experience building APIs using FastAPI, Flask, or Django, as well as CLIs with click, argparse, etc.\nFrontend development experience with modern frameworks, particularly React.\nSolid understanding of RESTful APIs, data modeling, and secure API design.\nExperience with SQL and analytical libraries (Polars, Pandas) for computational workloads.\nExposure to cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, or GCP) and cloud-native architectures.\nExperience with containerized development (Docker) and deployment workflows.\nPassion for AI: Genuine conviction that AI is transforming software, demonstrated through active use of AI tools in your development workflow (Claude, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or similar), and curiosity about what comes next.\nDeep interest in finance: Strong desire to understand how institutional investors, hedge funds, asset managers, and tech make decisions and use technology; you find the domain genuinely compelling, not just a backdrop.\nExcellent communication skills and comfort translating technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.\nStrong problem-solving instincts and comfort operating with ambiguity.\nStrongly Preferred AI Implementation:\nExperience: Hands-on experience building with LLM APIs, agentic frameworks (Claude Code, OpenClaw, LangChain), prompt engineering, and MCP servers beyond just using AI tools as a developer.\nExperience with financial data systems, portfolio analytics, or risk platforms is valuable to work fluently with data models like positions, securities, factor exposures, and P& L.\nFamiliarity with Databricks, Delta Lake, or Auto Loader for scalable data infrastructure.\nExperience with ETL orchestration tools (Airflow, Dagster, Prefect) and data transformation frameworks (DBT).\nExperience with OLAP databases (Snowflake, ClickHouse, DuckDB, MSSQL).\nTrack record of building and shipping client-facing applications on tight timelines.\nUnderstanding of distributed system design, event-driven architectures, and performance optimization.\nBachelor's or master's degree in computer science, engineering, or a comparable subject.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5444,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Financial Software & Embedded Finance","Financial AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-08-20T05:52:04Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":6,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":0.4,"p_active":0.444,"p_room":0.35,"age_days":57,"expected_fill_days":21,"reasons":["seen:57","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/hedgineer-software-engineer-applied-ai","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/hedgineer-software-engineer-applied-ai.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T12:38:28Z","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":16801,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-18T00:00:00Z"}},"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":3812191},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3812191"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fhedgineer-software-engineer-applied-ai"},{"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%2Fhedgineer-software-engineer-applied-ai"},{"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%2Fhedgineer-software-engineer-applied-ai"},{"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/hedgineer-software-engineer-applied-ai\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fhedgineer-software-engineer-applied-ai"}]}
