AI Full Stack Developer

Full-Stack Developer

Obra Capital is a growing credit-focused investment manager seeking a pragmatic, product-minded Full-Stack Developer to help build our next generation of internal AI tools. You will bridge the gap between our financial data and our users — building intuitive React interfaces, robust Python backends, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines that turn complex proprietary data into actionable insight for our analysts and traders.

This is a high-impact role for an engineer who is comfortable owning features end-to-end and who takes pride in building reliable, well-crafted software. We aren't looking for an AI researcher; we need someone who can ship real products around LLMs and make them genuinely useful to the people who depend on them every day.

What You'll Do

• Build and maintain scalable internal web applications using Python (FastAPI/Flask) and React, from database architecture through to front-end interfaces
• Implement and optimize RAG systems to extract insights from internal financial documents and proprietary data sources
• Write complex, performant SQL queries to interface with our relational databases, and design and manage Vector Databases for AI retrieval workloads
• Build internal features that accurately handle and display sensitive financial data — positions, P&L, Mark-to-Market valuations — for our analysts and traders
• Work closely with investment, operations, and technology teams to translate business requirements into working, production-quality software
• Support ongoing system improvements, troubleshooting, and optimization of existing applications and pipelines
• Contribute to documentation, testing, and development best practices as our engineering function matures

What We're Looking For

Required

• 3+ years of production experience with Python and modern JavaScript (React)
• Strong SQL skills are an absolute must — comfortable writing and optimizing complex queries against relational databases
• Working knowledge of RAG architectures, LLM APIs, and tooling such as LangChain or LlamaIndex
• Familiarity with financial concepts such as P&L, Mark-to-Market, and Security Master records — or a proven track record of learning complex business domains quickly
• Excellent communication skills; comfortable working with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• High degree of ownership: able to manage multiple priorities independently and deliver quality results in a fast-paced environment

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with C#/.NET for occasional integration with existing internal systems
• Prior experience in financial services, asset management, or a closely related environment
• Experience with Vector Databases (e.g., Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector) in a production setting

Compensation

In accordance with New York State Pay Transparency Law, the base salary range for this position is $150,000 – $220,000 per year. Base salary does not include additional compensation such as performance-based cash bonuses tied to individual and fund results. Offers are determined by candidate experience and geographic location.
