About Us

We are building a next-generation  AI-driven trading platform  that ingests massive streams of financial, alternative, and sentiment data and transforms them into actionable insights. Our mission is to combine  robust data engineering pipelines  with  Generative AI and advanced ML models  to democratize access to sophisticated trading strategies.

As part of our  founding technical team , you will play a crucial role in ensuring our platform's data backbone is reliable, scalable, and production-ready.

The Role

We are looking for a  Founding Data Pipeline Engineer  passionate about designing and building scalable data pipelines in the cloud. You will work closely with the  Founding Gen AI Engineer  to ensure clean, validated, and well-structured data is available for model training, inference, and strategy generation.

You will be hands-on with  custom Python development , running data ingestion and transformation jobs in  Azure Functions  and similar serverless / cloud-native environments. You will also architect and optimize  data storage and analytics pipelines,  leveraging  Azure OLAP services such as Kusto (KQL) and Data Lake, as well as Databricks.

What You’ll Do

Data Pipeline Development :

  • Design and implement scalable ingestion pipelines to handle high-volume, real-time, and batch data feeds.
  • Write  custom Python code  to run within Azure Function Apps for event-driven and scheduled ingestion tasks.
  • Integrate APIs, event streams, and unstructured data into unified pipelines.

Data Transformation & Storage : Implement preprocessing, validation, and enrichment logic to prepare datasets for AI / ML models.

  • Leverage  Azure Data Lake, Synapse Analytics, and Kusto (KQL)  for efficient querying, storage, and OLAP-style analytics.
  • Ensure data quality, consistency, and schema evolution in a fast-changing environment.
  • Collaboration with AI / ML : Partner with the  Founding Gen AI Engineer  to ensure AI-ready datasets (structured, time-series, textual, and alternative data).

  • Enable backtesting and live trading workflows by delivering low-latency, reliable data pipelines.
  • Operations & Observability :

  • Establish monitoring, alerting, and logging for all pipelines to ensure reliability.
  • Design pipelines that can adapt to  scaling needs, failure recovery, and cost efficiency  in the cloud.
  • Startup Contribution :

  • Take ownership of the  entire data lifecycle , from ingestion to OLAP.
  • Contribute to technical decisions and long-term architecture.
  • Operate in a  pre-funding, equity-only environment  with full ownership of outcomes.
  • What We’re Looking For

  • 5–8 years of experience  in  data engineering or pipeline development , with strong proficiency in  Python .
  • Hands-on experience building  serverless / cloud-native pipelines  (Azure Functions, AWS Lambda, or similar).
  • Strong expertise with  Azure Data stack  (Kusto / KQL, Synapse, Data Lake, Event Hubs, Data Factory).
  • Proven ability to design and manage  data ingestion, transformation, and storage pipelines  at scale.
  • Solid understanding of  batch vs. streaming data processing  and how to optimize for low-latency use cases.
  • Bonus : familiarity with  financial data structures or trading systems  (but not required).
  • Entrepreneurial, self-starter mindset with the ability to  deliver hands-on solutions in an early-stage startup .
  • Bring your own device / laptop - but need to sign up for strict Confidentiality / NDA / Non-Compete Agreements
  • Why Join Us

  • Be a  founding technical member , building the  data backbone  of a disruptive AI trading platform.
  • Collaborate closely with the  Founding Gen AI Engineer  to power cutting-edge ML models with high-quality data.
  • Work with modern,  cloud-native, and serverless data pipelines  in Azure.
  • Full  equity-based compensation  at pre-angel stage – a high-risk, high-reward journey.
  • Shape the  core infrastructure  of a company at the ground floor.
