AI/ML Engineer – Full TimeLocation: Remote or Hybrid (Location Flexible)
Start Date: Rolling
Company: AM.Dirac, Quantitative Proprietary Trading Firm
About AM.Dirac
AM.Dirac is an AI-forward quantitative trading firm applying machine learning and programmatic reasoning to public market strategies. We use frontier ML capabilities to automate and scale our alpha-generating infrastructure across asset classes. Our team combines deep expertise in ML engineering, quant research, and systems design, working collaboratively to develop intelligent agents that operate in real-time, data-rich environments.
Position Overview
We are looking for a full-time AI/ML Engineer to join the core team at AM.Dirac. This is an opportunity to build intelligent systems that power next-generation trading strategies, from idea generation to execution. You’ll work at the intersection of state-of-the-art ML (including LLMs and agentic systems), portfolio optimization, and real-time data pipelines. Your work will directly support live strategies in production and lay the foundation for autonomous investment agents.
Key Responsibilities
Alpha Generation: Design and refine predictive ML models trained on intraday financial data and alternative datasets to surface trade signals.
Data Infrastructure & Experimentation: Work with large-scale time series, macroeconomic, and unstructured datasets. Build pipelines, clean data, and rapidly iterate on hypotheses.
Agentic Systems Development: Help architect and implement systems using LLMs to automate alpha research, backtesting, and live trading tasks.
Portfolio Optimization: Contribute to the design of intelligent portfolio construction methods that integrate learned signals and risk constraints.
Tooling & Research Ops: Develop internal experimentation frameworks in Python/Jupyter and build reproducible research workflows across the team.
Collaboration: Work closely with quant researchers, founders, and systems engineers to scale model impact from prototype to production.
Qualifications
Required:
Education: BS in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or related field (MS/PhD preferred). Exceptional candidates without a degree but with strong evidence of technical ability will be considered.
Python & Jupyter Expertise: Demonstrated fluency with Python, NumPy, pandas, scikit-learn, and Jupyter for ML development and research.
ML Proficiency: Experience with supervised learning, time series modeling, and neural networks. Bonus points for hands-on use of LLMs or reinforcement learning frameworks.
Experimentation Mindset: Ability to rapidly test, measure, and iterate on model-based systems in noisy or nonstationary environments.
Curiosity for Markets: While no prior finance experience is required, you should be motivated to learn how markets behave and how ML can exploit inefficiencies.
Preferred:
LLM & Agentic Workflows: Familiarity with prompting strategies, RAG, fine-tuning, or frameworks like LangChain, Transformers, or OpenAI APIs. Experience working with messy and unstructured data as inputs to modeling tasks.
Open Source Contributions or Research: Active GitHub, blog posts, or published work showing initiative and originality in applied ML.
Quantitative Finance: Experience building backend infrastructure for algorithmic trading and conducting research to originate market signals and trading strategies highly preferred.
Why Join Us
High Impact, Early Team Role: Shape the design and function of our AI-native investment platform from the ground up.
Research-to-Production: See your work go from notebook to production in live trading strategies.
Fast Iteration, Deep Focus: No bureaucracy, no endless meetings. Just focused execution with elite peers.
Compensation: Competitive base salary + performance-linked bonus + benefits.
Culture: Intellectually honest, independently driven, and curious about the edge of AI and finance.
Application Process
Interested candidates should submit:
Resume/CV highlighting your technical background and ML experience
Optional: Links to open-source projects, GitHub repos, or writing samples

Prepare your application
Use the description above to assess your fit for AM.Dirac. This checklist is guidance from Resumize, rather than additional requirements from the employer. Imported listings can be shortened or change after collection, so confirm the complete description and current availability before sending an application.
Match requirements to evidence
Identify the responsibilities and skills the employer explicitly names. For each important requirement, choose one example from your work, education, training, or projects. Explain what you did, how you did it, and what changed as a result. Include a measurable outcome when you can support it. If you lack a requirement, describe related experience accurately instead of adding an unfamiliar skill to your resume.
Put the most relevant examples near the top of your resume. Keep job titles, dates, qualifications, and contact details consistent across your application materials. Use the employer’s terminology when it describes your experience accurately; a copied list of keywords does not explain your contribution. A short, specific bullet is easier to review than a paragraph that mixes several unrelated duties.
Check the working arrangement
Confirm the location, schedule, employment type, and any eligibility requirements on the employer’s site. A remote label does not establish worldwide eligibility or flexible hours. If compensation, benefits, equipment, travel, or contract duration are missing from this listing, write down your questions for the recruiter. Do not assume details from another opening at the same company apply to this role.
Review before submitting
Follow the employer’s requested file format and application instructions. Open your exported resume and check that its text is selectable, its sections read in order, and its links work. Proofread names, dates, and contact information. Share confidential work samples only when you have permission, and use an anonymized example when necessary.
Submit through a trusted employer or recruiting destination. If the original listing has disappeared, search the employer’s careers page for the title rather than assuming the vacancy remains open. Save the application date, job reference, and the version of your resume you sent. Those details help you prepare for a later conversation and avoid submitting conflicting information through several job boards.
Review your resume for writing and readability feedback, or browse other openings if this opportunity is unavailable.
