About the job

Join Equi as a Founding Engineer and Applied AI Lead

Equi is an innovative investment management firm dedicated to creating institutional-quality alternative investment solutions. Our unique business model not only provides Equi-branded funds but also develops white-label fund of funds products for premier independent multi-family offices and advisory firms nationwide. We leverage extensive manager selection expertise alongside sophisticated portfolio construction to achieve exceptional outcomes for our clients and partners.

Currently, Equi is at a pivotal stage in our growth journey; our assets under management (AUM) are rapidly increasing. We have signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) to launch a new fund of funds product and anticipate additional LOIs in the near future. We are in the process of building a small, high-caliber team that will grow alongside the platform, taking on greater responsibilities as we scale.

Your Role as Founding Engineer

As the Founding Engineer and Head of Applied AI, you will play a critical role in shaping the technology landscape across the company. This foundational leadership position involves designing and developing software solutions that will accelerate Equi's growth, collaborating closely with the investment team, operations, and go-to-market strategies.

You will be the cornerstone of engineering at Equi, leading projects from conception to execution, encompassing AI-driven systems, customer-facing applications, and internal tools. This position sits at the crossroads of AI engineering and application development, where you will create RAG-based intelligence, automate complex investment workflows, and develop innovative customer-facing applications leveraging our data infrastructure.

This is a unique opportunity for individuals who are passionate about sophisticated investment strategies and are eager to create technology that fuels a rapidly growing platform. The role is designed to evolve from hands-on building into a leadership capacity, allowing you to grow and guide the engineering team while adhering to our vision of maintaining a small, flat organization where everyone is closely engaged with the work.

Our Culture at Equi

At Equi, we embrace a team-oriented culture where transparency and constructive debate are vital to our success. We operate under a flat organizational structure, where ideas are valued based on merit rather than seniority, and each team member is encouraged to contribute to discussions. We prioritize intellectual honesty, rigorous thinking, and humility to adapt when faced with new evidence.

Our engineering vision is to maintain a small and flat team, ensuring that everyone remains actively involved in building, rather than layering on management. As our platform expands, there will be clear opportunities for increased responsibility and leadership while staying intimately connected to the technical aspects of our work.

About Equi

Equi is a pioneering investment management firm focused on delivering high-quality alternative investment solutions. By combining expert manager selection with advanced portfolio construction, Equi aims to drive superior results for its clients. With a rapidly growing AUM and a commitment to innovation, Equi is poised for significant expansion and impact in the investment landscape.
