Applied AI Engineer

## About Cryptio Cryptio is the leading enterprise-grade financial data transformation and digital asset ERP platform for accounting, financial reporting, tokenization compliance, and loan management solutions. It is a complete back and middle-office platform that delivers financial integrity and accountability for businesses in crypto. Its platform allows users to transform on-chain and off-chain crypto activity into auditable records for accounting, treasury, tax filings, license applications, loans activity, and regulatory reporting. Having recently announced our $45m series B, now couldn't be a better time to join! ## About the role We're hiring our first Applied AI Engineer to work directly with our Advisory Intelligence Product Engineer and the VP of Advisory Intelligence on net-new product. You'll have full-stack ownership from Postgres schema to React UI, and you'll collaborate directly with the VP on prompt architecture, workflow design, and product roadmap. The team is small on purpose. This is a high-autonomy seat with real room to grow. You'll experiment, ship, and shape the toolkit's direction. As the practice scales, the right person grows into a technical leader for the function. ## What you'll do The Advisory Intelligence toolkit covers the full accounting workflow: transaction-level close processes, chart of accounts benchmarking, policy generation, fit-gap analysis against institutional standards, and financial reporting outputs. Each tool combines deterministic logic (the parts where being wrong has financial consequences) with AI layers that draw on a structured library of real client engagements. You'll work across the suite with primary ownership on net-new builds. - Collaborate directly with the VP on prompt architecture, workflow design, and product roadmap. You're a builder who shapes what gets built. - Own full-stack feature delivery from Postgres schema through API layer through React UI - Build and maintain multi-step AI pipelines: prompt chaining, structured output parsing, confidence scoring, failure recovery, and audit-trail logging - Integrate third-party financial data APIs into production tool workflows - Build financial document ingestion: parse uploaded spreadsheets and structured reports into typed data models for downstream AI processing - Maintain and extend the deterministic pre-processing and heuristic layers that make AI output reliable enough for audit - Contribute to the AI output evaluation framework: structured test inputs, expected outputs, scoring rubrics - Work cross-functionally with finance practitioners, product, design, and leadership to scope what gets built and push back on specs that miss ## What you'll bring ### Core engineering - Production full-stack TypeScript: shipped real systems, not side projects - Strong Node.js backend: REST APIs, middleware auth, async pipelines with batching, concurrency limits, retries, timeouts - React and TypeScript for complex UI: state management with Zustand, schema validation with Zod, views that stay responsive at scale - Exposure to distributed systems and microservice architectures: you understand the failure modes (partial writes, retries, ordering, observability) even if you haven't owned a microservice deployment end-to-end ### Data and Postgres - Strong Postgres: data modeling for workflow and run-oriented schemas, indexing strategy, query troubleshooting at table scale - Experience designing versioned config and audit-trail schemas. Append-only matters in compliance contexts and you've built for it. ### How you operate - Strong communicator, written and verbal. You can explain a technical decision to a finance practitioner and a product spec back to engineering. - You take initiative. When the spec is wrong, you propose alternatives. When something's broken, you don't wait to be asked. - You work cross-functionally without friction. Finance, product, design, leadership are all on your week, not just other engineers. - Comfortable owning a feature from schema to UI without handoffs ## Bonus points - Hands-on production LLM work with AWS Bedrock, OpenAI, or the Anthropic SDK at real throughput - Multi-step prompt workflows: chaining, structured output extraction, confidence thresholds, graceful degradation - Debugged AI in production. You know where prompt issues end and infrastructure issues begin. - Next.js App Router experience: API routes, SSR in data-dense interfaces - Background job infrastructure for AI workflows (BullMQ, pg-boss, or similar) - Finance or accounting tooling experience. Familiarity with GAAP/IFRS, month-end close, or audit process is a real advantage. - AWS deployments, Docker, CI/CD pipeline ownership - Logging, monitoring, and production debugging in distributed systems - Parsing financial document formats (Excel, structured CSV, ERP exports) into typed pipelines ## Perks - Remote or Hybrid working - 25 days paid holiday plus bank holidays - One additional day of annual leave each year, up to 30 total days - Your birth off - Mental health resources, wellbeing programs, and professional coaching - Family-friendly policies - Fitness and wellness budget - MacBook Pro - $200 home office setup budget - Training and development budget - We have additional benefits depending on location ## About the company At Cryptio, we move fast and take ownership of outcomes. We learn from failures, celebrate wins, and let humility, curiosity, and a passion for crypto guide how we work. If you value collaboration and want to build with purpose, you'll feel right at home here.
