At Sapien, we’re building autonomous coworkers for financial analysis at enterprises. To do this, we’re building what we call the company representation, or the embedding model for company financials. We build up contextual embeddings for every single financial data point within a company and produce a knowledge graph, off of which our agents can tackle any complex financial workflow a CFO might throw at an analyst. Our systems are already deployed at manufacturing software, and services businesses where they’re saving hundreds of hours each month and uncovering multi-million dollar mistakes.
Our culture is R&P: research and product. Traditionally, doing research entails working in the back of a lab for months and coming up for sunlight on rare occasions. At Sapien, we’re all about pushing the bounds of possibility while iterating rapidly. We build everything in-house, and we’re constantly shipping new representations, frameworks, UX paradigms, in-house models, and more. The goal is to move fast and iterate relentlessly with customers, gathering data on which features are most useful or work best, and which are less important so we can push the bounds of both underlying tech and product experience.
We’re excited about people who are adaptable, opinionated, and take ownership.
As an Applied AI Engineer, we’re excited about people with deep algorithmic intuitions that can adapt to any sort of situation, whether it be building up a ground-up representation of Excel, new agentic frameworks for context passing, or fine-tuned embedding models based on pairwise ranked data from customers.
We’re excited about people who are curious and build strong views on ideal paradigms (if you love graphical structures, you’ll love Sapien). Our favorite people to work with are those who deeply care about what they’re working on, bring in new knowledge from paper’s they’ve read, and are excited to engage in stimulating discussion where everyone learns and improves their understanding.
And most centrally, we’re excited about people who take ownership. At Sapien, we’re basically building 10 startups in one and every person on the team has extensive responsibilities to own key product segments and even business functions end-to-end.
We’re a high-velocity, highly technical, talent-dense team working that are productizing the cutting edge of AI research. If you’re excited about working on hard problems with high impact and thinking end-to-end (from deep research to customers to optimizations), Sapien is the team for you.
Shoot an email to [email protected] with why you’d be a perfect fit for the role. We love it when people show (i.e. demos, videos, links) rather than tell! And please attach a resume as well if applicable.
