  • Partner with product managers and other engineering teams to translate strategic goals into technical realities, abstracting AI complexity so they can iterate quickly
  • Collaborate closely with our engineering leads to define and implement our platform architecture to meet Addepar’s growth and scalability needs 
  • Evaluate and drive strategic business and technology decisions for the company and for customers
  • Be a technical thought leader in multiple areas who educates and shares best practices. Your contributions deliver strategic and prescriptive guidance

  • Deep ownership mindset, seeing projects through to completion and raising the bar for execution across the team
  • A strong bias for action, with a passion for shipping rapidly and iterating with feedback
  • BS/MS in Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, or another quantitative field, or equivalent experience
  • [Preferred] Specific experience with LLMs and agentic systems
