Company Description

Eloquent AI is a San Francisco-based YC X25 startup that recently raised a $7.4M seed round led by Foundation Capital to build autonomous AI Operators for financial services.

Job Description

You will build, deploy, and optimize enterprise-grade AI agents that execute complex workflows across fragmented tools for leading financial institutions. Working alongside a UCL ML professor, you'll fine-tune LLMs, integrate systems via APIs, and solve high-stakes automation challenges where precision is critical, moving beyond simple chat to end-to-end execution.

Location

San Francisco, USA

Why this role is remarkable

Work directly with co-founder Aldo Lipani, a UCL Machine Learning professor, on cutting-edge multimodal agents that achieve human-level precision in high-stakes regulated environments.

Backed by Foundation Capital and Y Combinator (X25), Eloquent AI is already powering major financial institutions, solving up to 96% of cases where traditional chatbots fail.

Join a high-growth startup at the seed stage with significant equity upside, building technology that fundamentally changes how millions of people manage their finances.

What You Will Do

Design and optimize autonomous AI agents that perform actions across CRMs and payment systems, rather than just generating text responses.

Fine-tune LLMs for accuracy and compliance while implementing RAG and inference optimizations for real-world enterprise applications.

Collaborate with global engineering and research teams to monitor performance and iterate rapidly on agent capabilities based on customer feedback.

The ideal candidate

3+ years of experience in AI engineering or NLP, with strong Python proficiency and hands-on experience using PyTorch or TensorFlow in production.

Proven track record of working with LLMs, including expertise in prompt engineering, fine-tuning (PEFT), and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).

Ability to thrive in a fast-paced startup environment, demonstrating strong problem-solving skills and the capacity to integrate AI with complex cloud infrastructure.

Who are Jack & Jill?

Ok, I'll go first. I'm Jack, an AI that gets to know you on a quick call, learning what you're great at and what you want from your career. Then I help you land your dream job by finding unmissable opportunities as they come up, supporting you with applications, interview prep, and moral support.

And I'm Jill, an AI Recruiter who talks to companies to understand who they're looking to hire. Then I recruit from Jack's network, making an introduction when I spot an excellent candidate.

How does this work?

Jack's an AI agent for job searching and career coaching. He works for you.

Jill is the AI recruiter working for the company. She recruits from Jack's network.

If it's a match and the company wants to meet you, they'll make the intro. In the meantime, if you'd like, Jack will send you excellent alternatives.

We never post fake jobs

This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.

Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.

We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.

Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
