Reporting Structure and Work Environment ## Description The AI Engineer is responsible for designing, planning, and enabling the development of AI-powered systems that support Dark Alpha Capital's investment platform and internal operations. Unlike a traditional machine learning engineer or software developer, this role focuses on architecting agentic systems, defining implementation strategies, and producing the technical documentation that enables AI coding agents and engineering teams to efficiently build scalable solutions. The AI Engineer works closely with business stakeholders, Technical Project Managers, and software engineers to translate business problems into structured implementation plans, technical specifications, markdown documentation, agent workflows, and system architectures. Success in this role requires a strong understanding of modern AI ecosystems, large language models, retrieval systems, AI agents, workflow orchestration, prompt engineering, context management, and AI-assisted software development. The ideal candidate understands not only how AI systems are built, but how autonomous AI development workflows operate and how to leverage them to accelerate engineering execution., AI Solution Architecture * Design AI-powered systems that support investment operations, automation, research, internal tooling, and workflow optimization. * Translate business requirements into scalable AI architectures and implementation strategies. * Define system components, workflows, integrations, data requirements, and technical dependencies before development begins. * Evaluate multiple technical approaches and recommend scalable long-term solutions. Agentic System Design * Design multi-agent workflows capable of completing complex operational tasks. * Define agent responsibilities, communication patterns, memory strategies, tool usage, and orchestration logic. * Develop reusable architectures for autonomous and semi-autonomous AI systems. * Continuously evaluate emerging agent frameworks and best practices. Technical Planning & Documentation * Produce comprehensive implementation documentation using Markdown and other technical documentation standards. * Create Product Requirement Documents (PRDs), Technical Design Documents (TDDs), implementation plans, architecture documentation, task breakdowns, and engineering specifications. * Develop execution plans that enable engineering teams and AI coding agents to efficiently build production-ready systems. * Maintain documentation throughout the project lifecycle. AI-Assisted Engineering * Utilize AI coding assistants and autonomous development agents to accelerate software development. * Structure development tasks for AI-assisted implementation. * Review AI-generated code for correctness, maintainability, scalability, and alignment with project requirements. * Continuously refine AI development workflows to improve engineering productivity. Research & Evaluation * Stay current with advancements in large language models, agent frameworks, retrieval systems, vector databases, prompt engineering, and AI infrastructure. * Evaluate new tools, frameworks, and platforms for potential adoption within the firm's technology stack. * Recommend improvements to internal AI capabilities and engineering practices. Cross-Functional Collaboration * Partner with Technology, Operations, Deal Team, Capital Markets, Recruiting, Legal, and other departments to identify opportunities for AI-driven improvements. * Translate operational challenges into structured AI initiatives. * Work alongside Technical Project Managers and software engineers throughout the project lifecycle. * Support business stakeholders in understanding AI capabilities and implementation considerations. Continuous Improvement * Standardize documentation, planning methodologies, and AI engineering practices across the Technology Department. * Develop reusable templates, implementation frameworks, and architectural patterns. * Improve internal development processes through automation, AI-assisted planning, and knowledge management. * Contribute to the evolution of the firm's AI strategy and technology roadmap., * Standard office hours (9:00 AM - 5:00 PM EST) with flexibility to support business priorities and strategic initiatives. * Fully remote role with regular collaboration across Technology, Operations, Investments, and other business functions. * Frequent use of AI development platforms, documentation systems, version control, coding agents, and engineering collaboration tools. * Performance is measured through the quality of technical planning, implementation documentation, AI solution architecture, engineering enablement, and contribution to the firm's AI capabilities. ## Related Videos - [The New Org Chart: When AI Joins the Workforce](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100036-the-new-org-chart-when-ai-joins-the-workforce) - [This App Reached 10,000 Users in One Week.
