AI Engineer
Job Description
AI Engineer role in New York, NY (hybrid) at Farsight AI focused on building agentic AI systems and pipelines that generate client-ready financial deliverables while advancing evaluation, retrieval, and platform capabilities.
Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and own end-to-end agentic systems that produce decks, models, and memos for clients, from data ingestion to polished output.
- Develop evaluation and quality controls for generated deliverables, including deterministic checks, model-based reviews, grounding and fidelity verification, and regression suites for non-deterministic outputs.
- Turn proprietary platform and client data into evidence-backed insights by building pipelines that discover, quantify, and verify patterns, feeding them back into how drafts and checks are performed.
- Architect and refine retrieval mechanisms that ground deliverables in unstructured and structured financial data, ensuring every figure traces back to a source.
- Advance the next generation of agentic capabilities on the Farsight platform, including composability, advanced function calling, and modular orchestration.
- Shape the product roadmap by prioritizing customer value, time-to-market, execution risk, and projected impact.
Requirements
- 2+ years deploying machine learning or large language model systems in production environments.
- Experience building agentic systems with function calling, tool integration, orchestration, and reliability engineering to keep multi-step processes on track.
- Proven ability to build and validate evaluations for LLM systems; avoid relying on simplistic one-number ratings.
- Experience implementing retrieval over both unstructured and structured data, including handling documents as structured artifacts with mixed text, numeric, and tabular content, plus analysis of rendered output.
- A practical, AI-assisted development workflow with a verification story proportional to the tasks delegated.
- Strong Python proficiency and current fluency with frontier model APIs and their capabilities.
Technologies
- Python
- Frontier model APIs
Compensation & Benefits
- Salary: USD 200,000 to 300,000 per year, commensurate with experience.
- Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance.
- Unlimited paid time off.
Above and Beyond Qualifications
- Experience evaluating generated documents or other complex, client-facing deliverables, combining deterministic checks with model-based judgment.
- Experience extracting reliable, quantified patterns from large, noisy real-world datasets, with evidence-backed findings.
- Deep familiarity with financial data, documents, and workflows.
