About this role:

ALPHA10X is the AI leader in private markets investments. Our ALPHAcodex analyzes data at scale to shape the knowledge and foresight that generate alpha and impact. The company is a well-funded growth stage startup and aspiring unicorn, rapidly expanding our revenue, customer base, and market presence, while scaling operations, enhancing products, and securing additional funding to further accelerate development. Our team includes prominent business leaders, investors, scholars, and data scientists.

ALPHA10X is hiring a Head of AI Engineering to lead the design and delivery of production-grade AI systems at the intersection of predictive modeling, LLMs, and agentic frameworks. Reporting to the CTO, you will oversee a team of AI engineers and collaborate closely with product, data, and software teams. Your mission: ensure our AI stack is robust, scalable, and fully integrated into the ALPHAcodex. You’ll lead efforts in predictive data science, MLOps, and advanced LLM development—including agent-based architectures and multi-agent orchestration.

Key Responsibilities:

  • AI System Design & Delivery: Lead the development of robust, scalable, and production-ready AI systems, including LLM-based components and predictive models.
  • Agentic Frameworks: Architect and implement agent-based and multi-agent systems to power intelligent workflows and reasoning engines within the platform.
  • LLM Engineering: Oversee fine-tuning, prompt engineering, evaluation, and deployment of large language models tailored to domain-specific tasks.
  • MLOps & Reliability: Establish end-to-end pipelines for model training, validation, deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement across environments.
  • Cross-functional Leadership: Collaborate with Data, Software, and Product teams to ensure seamless integration of AI capabilities into the platform.
  • Team Growth & Mentorship: Mentor and lead a high-performing AI engineering team of 5 PhDs and engineers. Foster a culture of technical excellence, ownership, and fast-paced experimentation.

What We Value:

  • Initiative and curiosity.
  • Low ego because the outcome matters more than who gets the credit.
  • Adaptive and introspective; willing to learn, guide, lead, and follow.
  • Unrelenting drive to push the boundaries of AI and data science.

What we are looking for:

  • Hard Skills
    • 8+ years in AI engineering, including hands-on work with production-grade predictive ML models and LLM systems
    • LLM evaluation & alignment: Experience with prompt evaluation, fine-tuning, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and alignment techniques (e.g., RLHF)
    • Expert in Python and PyTorch; proficient with LangGraph and agentic frameworks
    • Strong grasp of MLOps best practices: CI/CD, model versioning, monitoring, and retraining
    • Familiarity with Knowledge Graphs & Reasoning for the integration of structured knowledge (e.g., Neo4j, RDF, graph-based reasoning) with LLMs
    • Familiarity with Databricks and cloud platforms
  • Soft skills
    • Proven experience leading small technical teams and mentoring engineers
    • Strong communication and problem-solving skills
    • Experience in startups or fast-paced environments

Why Join Us?

  • Innovation: Play a key role in advancing the capabilities of AI in fintech, working with some of the brightest minds in the industry.
  • Leadership: As part of the future shaping team, you will have a direct impact on the company's growth and strategic direction.
