Since our launch in 2017, we’ve helped major financial institutions and tech-savvy trailblazers alike (e.g. Plaid, Raymond James, Crypto.com etc.) orchestrate their compliance programs through our thoughtfully designed, intuitive, AI powered compliance tools. We believe finding and stopping financial crime is a problem rooted in code, language and design, so we built the product that the heroes doing this work deserve.\nWe are customer-obsessed, and we love building and shipping great products. We set a high bar, challenge our assumptions, seek diverse opinions, and support each other to do our best work.\nWe do our best to write inclusive, descriptive and accurate job descriptions, but we’re not always perfect. If you’re interested in the role, we’d love to hear from you even if you don’t feel like you meet everything we’re looking for. We’re always iterating and improving, and it’s possible that your experience is even more impactful than we could have imagined.\n About the role\nAt Hummingbird, we’re building better software to fight financial crime-and our engineering team makes that mission possible. As a Senior Software Engineer on the Cortex Team, you’ll play a key role in driving AI at Hummingbird. You’ll design and deliver customer-facing AI features that make complex work more intuitive and efficient, and iterate on existing features, like our context-aware AI Assistant and Review Agent.\nIn this role, you’ll collaborate closely with Product, Design, and other engineers to bring ideas to life-from prototyping to production. You’ll balance thoughtful model and tool selection with sound engineering principles, ensuring our systems are scalable, secure, and auditable. The projects you’ll take on are often ambitious and open-ended, and you’ll have the trust and autonomy to drive them from concept to completion.\nWe’re looking for someone who’s curious, collaborative, and motivated by impact-someone who thrives in the messy middle of hard problems and helps bring clarity and direction to the team. If you’re excited to use AI and data to make the world’s financial systems safer and more transparent, we’d love to meet you. \nWhat you'll do:\nBuild AI features end-to-end. You’ll design, implement, and ship features that bring great user experiences to life -with a strong focus on measurement, observability, and real-world performance.\nScale for impact. You’ll architect and deliver systems that handle high data volumes and complex workflows with reliability and speed, ensuring our AI features are as resilient and efficient as they are powerful.\nEnhance trust and transparency. You’ll improve grounding quality with permission-safe retrieval, citations, and evaluations that make AI outputs auditable and dependable.\nOptimize for experience. You’ll drive latency and cost improvements where they matter most-creating fast, seamless interactions for our users.\nShape the product and strategy. You’ll collaborate closely with Product and Design from discovery through iteration, helping define what AI can do for our customers. Great ideas come from everywhere, and your voice will help shape where we go next.\nWhat we're looking for:\n Experience that matters. You’ve shipped 0-1 products to real users (ideally AI products!) and are excited to keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.\nSafety first. You care deeply about quality, testing, and security-because trust and reliability are non-negotiable foundations of scalable systems.\nCuriosity and creativity. You love learning new technologies, exploring unfamiliar domains, and turning complex ideas into elegant, understandable solutions.\nPurpose-driven builder. You want to use your technical skills to create something meaningful-AI that helps make the world’s financial systems safer and more transparent.\nStrong engineering fundamentals. You bring solid backend experience, data fluency, and operational maturity to every project.\nIterative mindset. You enjoy refining ideas, incorporating feedback, and improving through collaboration.\nProduct intuition and communication. You think beyond code, partnering effectively with Product and Design to build features that delight and empower users.\nBonus points for: Experience with OpenSearch or other vector databases, Snowflake, evaluation frameworks like Langfuse, or familiarity with fintech and compliance domains.\nTechnologies we use and teach:\nAWS, Azure, PostgreSQL, Redis\nTerraform, CircleCI, Nix, Docker\nRuby/Rails, Python\nOpenAI\nReact, JavaScript, TypeScript, GraphQL, d3 \nWe are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status. We will ensure that individuals with disabilities are provided reasonable accommodation to participate in the job application or interview process, to perform essential job functions, and to receive other benefits and privileges of employment.
