Role Description Our client is hiring an AI Evaluation Lead to own how we measure the quality of AI-generated financial advice. Getting the advice right matters. A bad output here has real consequences for real people, and this role owns making sure we catch it. - You will work with an AI-generated test case library and automated scoring infrastructure that is already in place. - Your job is to make sure we are measuring the right things, interpreting what the results are telling us, and determining what needs to change to keep the system performing well as it scales. - This is not a monitoring and reporting role. It requires genuine judgment about AI system behavior, advice quality, and what the data is and is not capturing. - You will report to our Head of Revenue & Compliance, work closely with the AI/ML team and founders, and partner with subject matter experts who provide domain judgment on complex or ambiguous cases. - You need enough personal finance literacy to make first-pass quality assessments independently and know when to escalate. Qualifications - You have worked on AI or ML system quality in a context where outputs had real stakes. - You think analytically about what data is and is not telling you. - You are comfortable making judgment calls in ambiguous situations rather than waiting for the answer to be obvious. - You have enough AI/ML fluency to reason about why a system is producing what it is producing, not just whether the output looks right. - You bring enough personal finance literacy to read an advice response and have a genuine opinion about whether it is directionally sound. - You do not need formal credentials or deep expertise across every domain the system covers—you will partner with subject matter experts for the complex judgment calls. - Your review is substantive rather than mechanical, and you can have an informed conversation with those experts about what you are seeing in the data. - Fluency with how LLM-based systems behave in production, including output variance, failure modes, and the limits of automated scoring. - Ability to assess whether an eval framework is measuring the right things, not just whether it is running correctly. - Comfortable working with behavioral and interaction data to surface patterns and quality signals. - Familiarity with evaluation and observability tooling. Requirements - Model evaluation or QA on a consumer-facing AI product, particularly in a regulated or high-stakes context. - Model risk or validation with LLM or generative AI exposure. - Data science or analytics with ownership of production AI system quality. - Operations quality control built around AI- or ML-generated outputs. - Financial services or fintech product roles where you developed both analytical depth and personal finance domain familiarity. Benefits - Salary: 120-140k, plus early-stage option equity. - Final compensation will depend on level, experience, location, and scope of responsibility. - This role is open to candidates based in the United States. How we work - We are a fully remote, distributed team. - Periodic in-person get-togethers will be integral to our operating cadence. - We prioritize outcomes and output over set schedules. - We value clear writing, high ownership, fast iteration, direct communication, and thoughtful async collaboration. - As an early team member, you should expect broad ownership, frequent context shifts, and a high degree of autonomy. - You will help shape not just the product, but also the technical standards and operating cadence of the company. AI Interview We expect a high volume of applications for this role. To help candidates showcase more than what's on their resume, you'll have the opportunity to complete an AI interview as part of the application process. As an AI-first company, we embrace AI throughout the hiring process and are excited to meet candidates who are equally curious about and enthusiastic about the technology. This interview is your chance to demonstrate your experience, communication skills, and potential beyond your resume.

Role Description Our client is hiring an early product engineer to own the product surfaces where people experience AI-powered financial planning. This is a frontend-focused role, but not a narrow frontend role. - Lead the web and mobile experience across React, React Native, and Expo. - Shape new AI-native interaction patterns for financial planning. - Flex into backend, infrastructure, agents, data flows, and product strategy whenever that is the shortest path to shipping something excellent. - Work directly with the Head of Engineering as one of the first engineering hires. - Be a builder with strong product taste, high agency, and a demonstrable track record of using AI and agentic engineering tools to ship better software faster. What You’ll Do (The Day-to-Day) - Own major parts of the product experience across web, iOS, and Android. - Design and build intuitive conversational, interactive interfaces for financial and life planning that feel like a partner, not a web form. - Turn ambiguous product ideas into polished, production-ready experiences with strong UX, performance, accessibility, reliability, and observability. - Build in TypeScript across the stack when needed, including frontend, API contracts, data fetching, auth flows, background jobs, and integrations. - Help define our frontend architecture, component system, design patterns, mobile/web code-sharing strategy, and product engineering standards. - Use agentic software engineering tools and workflows as real leverage, not as demos: prototyping, implementation, refactoring, testing, debugging, code review, documentation, and operational automation. - Contribute to the product’s AI layer, including multi-model orchestration, LLM UX, evaluation loops, tool use, reliability, latency, cost, and failure-mode handling. - Work closely with founders, customers, and early users. Ship quickly, watch what happens, and iterate. Qualifications - You have built and shipped high-quality product experiences that real users depend on. - You are excellent with React, TypeScript, modern frontend architecture, state/data management, and production UI performance. - You have strong product and design judgment. - You care about the difference between a screen that technically works and an experience that feels obvious, trustworthy, and fast. - You are genuinely AI-native in how you build. - You have a portfolio, shipped product, open-source work, technical write-up, or demo showing how you use AI/agentic systems to create meaningful leverage. - You are comfortable moving beyond the frontend when needed: APIs, databases, auth, observability, infra, deployment, security, and product analytics do not scare you. - You can operate in a seed-stage environment where requirements are incomplete, priorities change, and ownership is broad. - You communicate clearly, write things down, make good tradeoffs, and prefer shipping small, high-quality increments over disappearing into large speculative rewrites. - You work well in a remote, distributed environment: proactive communication, strong ownership, written clarity, and good judgment around when to sync vs. work async. Nice to have - Experience with React Native, Expo, TanStack Query/Router, Tailwind, Uniwind, HeroUI, Cloudflare, PostgreSQL, PlanetScale, Terraform/OpenTofu, or AI observability/evaluation tooling. - Experience building financial, data-heavy, regulated, privacy-sensitive, or consumer trust-heavy products. - Experience with LLM-powered UX, streaming interfaces, agent orchestration, tool-calling, evals, retrieval, structured outputs, or multi-model systems. - Experience as a founder, founding engineer, product engineer, design engineer, or high-agency early startup builder. Our stack - TypeScript across frontend and backend. - React; React Native and Expo. - TanStack Query, Router, and related tooling. - Tailwind, Uniwind, and HeroUI. - PlanetScale Postgres. - Deep Cloudflare integration across application, hosting, performance, and security. - Terraform/OpenTofu. - Multi-model agentic orchestration across Anthropic, OpenAI, and other model providers. How we work - We are a fully remote, distributed team. - Periodic in-person get-togethers will be integral to our operating cadence. - We prioritize outcomes & output over set schedules. - We value clear writing, high ownership, fast iteration, direct communication, and thoughtful async collaboration. - As an early engineer, you should expect broad ownership, frequent context shifts, and a high degree of autonomy. - You will help shape not just the product, but also the engineering culture, technical standards, and operating cadence of the company. Compensation - Base salary: $150,000–$215,000, plus meaningful early-stage option equity. - Final compensation will depend on level, experience, location, and scope of responsibility. - This role is open to candidates based in the United States.
