Job Description Responsibilities Unifying the different parts of the stack. The network, signal layers, and forecasting architectures need to work together as one coherent system.Designing and building the agent orchestration pipeline that allows AI forecasters to ingest data, reason, and produce predictions.Building and optimising the signal pipeline that feeds real-world data into forecasting models.Experimenting with different forecasting architectures to find optimal approaches for linking targets to signals.Writing production-grade Python that handles complexity at scale, not scripts that work in a notebook.Contributing to technical strategy alongside the founders. You’ll have a voice in what gets built and why.Evaluating and vetting technical candidates as the engineering team grows.Requirements 5+ years building production-grade Python backends.
