Job description
Clear Street is modernizing the brokerage ecosystem. Founded in 2018, Clear Street is a diversified financial services firm replacing the legacy infrastructure used across capital markets.
We started from scratch by building a completely cloud-native clearing and custody system designed for today's complex, global market. Our platform is fully integrated with central clearing houses and exchanges to support billions in trading volume per day. We've agonized about our data model abstractions, created horizontal scalability, and crafted thoughtful APIs. All so we can provide a best-in-class experience for our clients.
By combining highly-skilled product and engineering talent with seasoned finance professionals, we're building the essentials to compete in today's fast-paced markets.
The Team:The mission of the Clear Street Active team is to provide best execution for every asset class in every market. Active is currently building a new, state-of-the-art, cloud-based trading platform providing high-performance traders access to liquidity venues across multiple asset classes, cutting-edge charting capabilities, and sophisticated order handling with the flexibility to service both the active trader and institutional workflows.
The Role:
You will own the reliability and quality bar for an AI copilot embedded in an trading platform used by sophisticated investors
You will design and build evaluation systems that measure correctness, safety, latency, and regression risk across market analysis, portfolio/risk reasoning, and trading workflows (including order placement)
You will develop and maintain benchmarks: curated “golden sets,” scenario suites, stress/adversarial cases, and continuously refreshed market/regime-based test corpora
You will build automated quality gates and regression workflows that block releases when key metrics degrade
You will partner with engineering and product to define safe tool/action contracts (deterministic previews, confirmations, auditability) and ensure predictable assistant behavior
You will own model improvement loops tied to evals: data collection/labeling strategies, error taxonomy, prompt/tooling changes, and when appropriate, fine-tuning or preference optimization to measurably improve benchmark performance
You will design and operate monitoring + incident response for AI: telemetry, alerting, RCA, and “fix-forward” processes
-
You will develop a deep understanding of trading concepts (margin, shorting, portfolio margin, risk, execution) and how to express them accurately and understandably to users
Tech Stack: Rust, TypeScript, Postgres, React (Web), React Native (Mobile), observability/telemetry tooling, LLM APIs + model serving, eval/training pipelines
Requirements:
- At least Eight (8) years of experience shipping production software; strong proficiency with any programming language
- Strong knowledge of computer science fundamentals, testing methodology, and systems design
- Experience building evaluation frameworks, test harnesses, and benchmark suites for complex systems (LLMs/agents/search/retrieval/ranking/recommenders)
- Experience running model improvement cycles: dataset curation, labeling/QA, offline experimentation, and deploying changes with measurable impact on benchmarks
- Ability to define metrics, build measurement pipelines, and drive engineering/product decisions from data
- Comfort working across the stack: debugging model/tooling failures, instrumenting services, and partnering with frontend/product on UX patterns that improve safety and trust
- High degree of self-motivation and willingness to jump into unfamiliar areas to solve problems
Bonus:
- Experience with fine-tuning, preference optimization, distillation, or prompt/compiler-style techniques for improving tool-use reliability
- Experience creating domain-specific benchmarks and adversarial suites (e.g., “known-bad” scenarios) for high-stakes applications
- Deep experience with trading across asset classes, margin types, etc.
- Experience with Rust and performance-sensitive services
- Experience designing incident response and SLOs for ML/AI systems
We Offer:
The Base Salary Range for this role is $180,000 - $250,000. This range is representative of the starting base salaries for this role at Clear Street. Where a candidate falls in this range will be based on job related factors such as relevant experience, skills, and location.

At Clear Street, we offer competitive compensation packages, company equity, 401k matching, gender neutral parental leave, and full medical, dental and vision insurance. In-office benefits include lunch stipends, fully stocked kitchens, happy hours, a great location, and amazing views.

Prepare your application
Use the description above to assess your fit for Clear Street Markets. 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.
