Integrate LLMs and agentic workflows into production, iterating quickly based on direct feedback from traders, analysts, and ops teams

Navigate stakeholder relationships across business, compliance, and tech leadership — gathering requirements, negotiating scope, and delivering on milestones

Proven track record building and shipping client-facing production systems with real SDLC and API discipline

Experience integrating LLMs into production workflows; comfortable with agentic frameworks and hands-on AI engineering

Confident, polished communicator who can present ideas clearly, push back on unreasonable demands, and hold their own in a high-pressure hedge fund environment

About Transient.AI

Transient.AI is the AI-native operating system for capital markets, purpose-built by Wall Street veterans who ran trading desks and investment operations at Goldman

Sachs, Credit Suisse, and JP Morgan. The founding team brings 150+ years of combined experience as traders, bankers, and technologists, and they built Transient.AI for the buyers they used to be. The company's Declarative Agentic

Framework powers a suite of enterprise-grade AI SaaS products — including CaddieAI, ClarityRIA, CapFlo.AI, and Sales+AI — that deliver real-time, AI-driven intelligence to hedge funds, RIAs, asset managers, and investment banks, synthesizing market data, client history, headline risk, regulatory constraints, and proprietary signals into proactive, actionable guidance at scale. Today, Transient.AI's platform runs

 

 

production workflows at firms managing tens of billions in AUM, delivering 75–80% time savings on the workflows it automates. The company recently closed its Series A and is aggressively scaling to meet surging client demand. Culturally, Transient.AI prizes engineers and operators who can thrive in demanding, fast-moving environments — people with opinions, the ability to push back, and the confidence to own outcomes end to end. The window to capture this market is transient — hence the name.

About the team

Small, senior team — currently 2 FDEs plus an intern, with a chief product engineer already embedded on-site at the client. Founding team came from Credit Suisse and Goldman Sachs, and a new CTO is joining from Amazon (banking → big tech background) in mid-June. You'd be working alongside people who understand both finance and engineering deeply.

At the core of the platform is the Declarative Agentic Framework — a production-grade AI infrastructure that synthesizes market data, client history,

 

 

headline risk, regulatory constraints, and proprietary signals to deliver proactive, actionable intelligence at scale. Today, Transient.AI's products run live production workflows at firms managing tens of billions in AUM, delivering 75–80% time savings on automated workflows.

Four Enterprise- Grade AI Product Suites:

• CaddieAI — AI for Hedge Fund Sales, Trading & Research, featuring an Intelligence and Execution layer

The platform enables firms to connect and configure their data — from CRMs and databases to emails and spreadsheets — and then surfaces AI-driven recommendations, dashboards, and real-time analysis to drive smarter client targeting, personalized sales strategies, and autonomous insights that grow more powerful over time.

Built by Wall Street veterans from Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, UBS, and Credit Suisse with 150+ years of combined experience as traders, bankers, and technologists, Transient.AI is engineered for the demands of regulated financial environments — where audit trails, compliance, and human-in-the-loop governance are first-class requirements.
