Fullstack Software Engineer / AI / Machine Learning

A Chicago-based investment firm is hiring a full-time Software Engineer to join an internal engineering group that works directly inside high-growth technology companies. This role focuses on building and operating modern software systems across cloud infrastructure, web applications, data pipelines, and AI-enabled workflows. Engineers are full-time employees and collaborate closely with operators and founders during critical scale phases. This is not a traditional engineering role and not a consulting position. Engineers are embedded on the ground, solving real problems that directly affect company growth, manufacturing, logistics, or customer experience. The team is made up of experienced builders who value ownership, execution, and humility. If you want exposure to elite operators, real production challenges, and meaningful business impact — this role offers a rare learning curve and long-term career leverage.
