Member of Technical Staff (Research Engineering)

About us

ATG (Autonomous Technologies Group) is an AI lab deploying frontier reasoning systems within financial markets.


Founders: Early GPU cloud (9 figure exit).

Investors: Garry Tan / YC + Founder of one of the most successful quant funds, BoxGroup (Plaid, Ramp, Stripe), top-tier angels.

About the Role

You'll bridge research and engineering-rapidly implementing, experimenting with, and scaling new algorithms and models. You'll work closely with scientists and founders to translate ideas into high-performance systems, and will operate across the stack from prototyping to deployment.

Responsibilities

• Prototype and scale experimental models (LLMs, RL agents, agentic systems) on large, real-world data.
• Build tools and pipelines for training, evaluation, and analysis.
• Implement state-of-the-art research from papers and iterate in collaboration with scientists.
• Own the full ML lifecycle: data engineering, experimentation, training, and deployment.
• Operate in a highly autonomous, engineering-driven environment.

Requirements

• Strong background in deep learning, reinforcement learning, or computational modeling.
• Expert-level Python and significant experience in ML frameworks (PyTorch, JAX, TensorFlow).
• Ability to translate research into robust, scalable systems.
• Experience with distributed computing or large-scale ML pipelines.
• Demonstrated curiosity and hands-on experimentation skills.
• Expertise in leveraging the latest AI tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, etc) to increase productivity & code output while maintaining high code quality, maintainability, and structure.

Why Join ATG

We're building a small, elite team. If you're excited by AI, markets, and building from first principles, we'd love to meet you.

• Work on AI with a massive market opportunity
• Early team of repeat founders backed by top investors
• High agency, talent dense, zero bureaucracy
