Role
Who you are
- You are an engineer who codes with AI as a first-class tool, not an add-on. You pair traditional technical training with a forward-leaning approach to agentic coding, rapid prototyping, and multi-agent workflows. You move fast, iterate with stakeholders, and care about shipping things that work
- You're comfortable building prototype applications across the stack — backend, frontend, data, cloud — and you'd rather be handed an ambiguous problem and trusted to figure it out than wait for instructions
- You can communicate directly with clients and cross-functional teams, and you bring a startup mindset: self-driven, curious, constructive, and motivated by mission over process
- You understand that working in regulated environments means building responsibly, with a compliance mindset baked into how you code and ship
- You have new ideas you're willing to test, fail, and iterate on — ultimately demonstrating impact that expands existing value or opens entirely new markets
- US Citizen
- 4+ years of professional experience, including graduate or Ph.D. work if relevant
- Technical education; post-graduate education preferred
- Forward-leaning in AI coding with traditional technical training as a foundation
- Hands-on with AI coding tools and agentic workflows (Claude Code, GPT/Codex, Cursor, Windsurf), including multi-agent approaches for testing and validation
- Core stack: Python, JavaScript/React, PostgreSQL. Helpful: Spark/PySpark, Scala, R, and other large-scale data tooling
- Ability to communicate directly with clients and cross-functional teams, and to rapidly iterate and co-develop with stakeholders
- Self-driven, mission-driven, curious, and constructive; startup mindset with strong communication skills
- Ability to provide references and meet in person
- Sharable evidence of proven work — portfolios, websites, projects, or competitions (preferred)
What the job involves
- As an Applied AI Engineer on Quantifind's AI Systems team, you'll be responsible for rapid prototyping and development of independent AI-driven workflows and capabilities. The team's projects prove out and de-risk concepts with external stakeholders and internal resources, while expanding markets for Quantifind as a whole
- Rapidly prototype and iterate on applications with internal and external stakeholders
- Build apps from scratch within given frameworks and resources
- Collect and validate product requirements, wearing a product hat as the role demands
- Perform quality assurance and test-driven development
- Bring evidence-based design sense, taste, and intuition, working effectively alongside product designers
- Manage the evolution of prototypes into production
- Innovate ways to increase team velocity using AI as both an accelerant and a control layer
Our take
The global cost of money laundering stands in the trillions of dollars, with related fines costing businesses billions a year. Quantifind aims to help combat this with automated risk decisions and anti-money laundering investigations, freeing up clients' security teams to focus on the biggest threats.
Quantifind's AI-driven "Graphyte" platform encompasses GraphyteSearch, a web-based investigation application, plus GraphyteAPI for integration, and GraphyteBatch that enables users to submit large numbers of queries at once. Altogether, this allows the platform to act as a one-stop shop for AML, delivering value across the whole risk mitigation process.
At the end of 2022, Quantifind was named one of the most innovative companies in the industry by Fintech Global, after signing 4 of the largest banks in the world, showing the impressively high regard in which its solutions are held. It received $23 million in funding in 2023 to expand its international presence, grow brand recognition, and continue to enhance its offerings.
