Your Role

We are looking for a Head of Research & Development who will initially contribute hands‑on as a Senior AI/ML Developer. This role blends leadership, architecture, and deep model development.

Responsibilities

• Lead research and technical direction across AI, quantitative modeling, data pipelines, and platform architecture.
• Design and deploy predictive models for financial time‑series (including transformer‑based architectures).
• Own the full AI lifecycle: data ingestion → feature engineering → model training → inference → deployment.
• Develop scalable APIs and distributed services for low‑latency inference.
• Establish standards for testing, monitoring, and model reliability.
• Collaborate closely with founders to align research with product and business outcomes.

What You Bring

Technical Skills

• Python (pandas, NumPy, PyTorch/TensorFlow)
• SQL (PostgreSQL / SQL Server)
• C#/.NET (for core platform integrations)
• Strong background in transformers and attention mechanisms applied to sequential/time‑series data
• Experience with ML Ops, experiment tracking, versioning, performance optimization

Mindset

• You think in systems, not experiments.
• You design for reliability, not academic elegance.
• You are comfortable owning outcomes, not just models.

Why Join BXT.ai

• Mission with real substance — democratizing elite investment intelligence.
• Direct impact — your work becomes core production infrastructure, not research shelved in slide decks.
• Autonomy — we work by trust and objectives, not by timecards and bureaucracy.
• Growth — contribute, publish, lead, and shape the architecture of a new financial model.

How to Apply

Send us your GitHub / portfolio, or a short letter describing:

• What you built.
• The impact / results achieved.
• If applicable: your experience with transformer models for time‑series.

Your CV (but remember that we will evaluate and we value real outcomes first).

We evaluate applicants on clarity, execution, and depth of reasoning — not on job titles or pedigree.

Our Culture

We are a fair, collaborative, high‑ownership environment. No politics, no bureaucratic nonsense, no ego, no boys’ club, no gatekeeping. Just people who want to build something important together. No micromanagement.

You own your work — the deadline is your judge, not a manager.

If you’re ready to build what has never been built before, we should talk.

BXT.ai — Think Like a Pro. Invest with AI.
