technical role with real scope: you'll architect and ship systems that power AI-driven financial analysis, build the tooling and infrastructure that domain experts rely on, and set the engineering bar for how we build AI systems responsibly in a regulated industry. You'll influence how we design agents, how we validate and govern AI output, how we scale our modeling infrastructure, and how we think about auditability and compliance. This isn't a role where AI is a thin wrapper — the intelligence layer is the product. What You'll Do Architect and build AI agent systems — including multi-agent workflows, orchestration layers, and the infrastructure that makes them reliable and auditable in production Work at the edge of what’s possible with modern AI — rapidly evaluating new models, tools, and development patterns, and setting the technical direction for turning the most promising
More from the job description
About Monstro Monstro provides the AI-powered Financial Intelligence System for regulated financial institutions. It enables banks and wealth managers to deliver continuous, personalized, governed Financial Guidance to every client, not just the top tier, across their entire financial life: saving, borrowing, investing, planning, protecting, and preparing. Meaningful Financial Guidance has only ever been available to a small portion of people. We are changing that, through the institutions people already trust. Institutions already have the relationships, the data, and the context to understand each client; Monstro turns that understanding into guidance that helps each person understand, decide, and act. For clients, that means clearer decisions, proactive support when life changes, and a better view of their financial lives. For institutions, it means deeper relationships, more clients served consistently, and more of each client’s financial life managed in one place. What makes this possible is how the system is built. Governance is not an added feature; it is foundational. Every recommendation reflects the institution’s own views, policies, and permissions. Every output can be audited, traced, and reversed, and client data stays under the institution’s control. Generative AI is used to build and configure the system; at runtime, execution is deterministic, so every output [... source excerpt omitted ...] he bar. Monstro is moving from vision to market: launching with financial institutions, growing the team, and building for the enterprise in one of the most regulated industries. You will be expected to think clearly, communicate directly, move with urgency, hold a high standard, and take responsibility for work that matters. We are an early team building something ambitious, and what you do here will shape both the product and the company.
