Octagon AI is an exciting GenAI startup backed by SALT Fund and Andrew Ng's AI Fund. We provide a platform designed specifically for financial analyst workflows at major institutions (private equity firms, investment banks, asset managers, hedge funds, and more). We combine cutting-edge LLM capabilities with a plethora of real-time data sources to improve both the efficiency and productivity of finance professionals.

We’ve already been joined by some of the best minds in finance and AI, and are looking for a backend engineer to join us. In this role, you will drive the development of a new Agent-RAG LLM solution.

We seek an exceptional and self-motivated Backend Software Engineer to join our core engineering team. The ideal teammate is an experienced professional looking to take ownership of the development of a new RAG LLM solution - from data pipelines to analyzing performance in a production environment.

Since you’ll be joining an early-stage startup at the ground level, you’ll need to be able to wear multiple hats and thrive while working in a dynamic environment.

Responsibilities for the role include:

Working within all areas of the platform from our web interfaces and 3rd party API to backend integrations.

Making architectural contributions and decisions to constantly improve the reliability of our software and maintainability of our codebase.

Implementing test-driven code using modern techniques.

Following agile processes with a focus on delivering production-ready testable code in small iterations.
