Data Engineer - Data Engineering, Finance

About Poesis

Whoever builds the leading intelligence for finance will create far more than returns. Poesis is the AI-native investment firm running autonomous agents that predict markets, construct portfolios, and manage risk. Our founders managed institutional capital at Capital Group ($3T AUM) and led enterprise ML at Goldman Sachs and Amazon. We're building a new type of firm, where live capital is the training ground for an intelligence that compounds with every signal.

About the Role

At Poesis, we're building an AI-native investment firm where data quality directly shapes what our models learn and the decisions they make. Financial data is complex, and making it accurate, consistent and reliable at scale is one of our most important engineering challenges. As a Member of Technical Staff focused on data engineering, you'll build reliable autonomous AI agents that detect and resolve complex data issues and strengthen the foundation of our investment process. This is an opportunity to pioneer a new approach to financial data engineering, with AI at the core of how data systems are built and operated.

Challenges You'll Work On

• Build reliable autonomous agents that detect, investigate and resolve financial data errors, knowing when to escalate to humans.

• Tackle point-in-time accuracy, survivorship bias and other challenges that can undermine financial models.

• Investigate and resolve complex data integrity issues, from conflicting prices and corporate actions to inconsistent security identifiers.

• Build scalable pipelines to integrate new financial datasets and ensure consistency across sources.

About You

• You have deep, hands-on experience building production data pipelines and working with financial data at a quantitative investment firm, data provider or similar environment.

• You have experience with Bloomberg, S&P Capital IQ, FactSet, LSEG/Refinitiv, MSCI Barra, or similar data providers.

• You have tackled complex financial data issues involving corporate actions, security mapping and point-in-time accuracy, and understand their impact on backtesting and risk models.

• You can independently troubleshoot complex data issues, work with vendors when needed and develop practical solutions.

• You've built AI agents or are excited to develop autonomous systems that solve complex, real-world problems.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Snowflake, Databricks, Airflow, AWS, or related technologies.
