The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  DE Shaw is hiring a AI Engineer in Henderson, NV.

• Role description

  Our technology stack is growing faster than our team, so DE Shaw is bringing on an AI Engineer to keep the architecture honest. Take ownership, lean on your 4 years of LightGBM, and earn $78,000 - $104,000 as part of a team that grows with you.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Own the full lifecycle of technology systems from prototype to production
  • Build the LangChain tooling that makes every other Henderson engineer faster
  • Scale DE Shaw's Critical Thinking services from Henderson pilot to NV-wide rollout
  • Design LangChain APIs other Henderson, NV teams will still thank you for next year
  • Pair with technology analysts so DE Shaw's Reinforcement Learning models match real behavior
  • Hand off Regression Analysis runbooks so the next on-call at DE Shaw sleeps better
  • Catch the customer-obsessed Critical Thinking regression in staging before it ever reaches Henderson customers
  • Work closely with data teams to surface insights from production systems

  What You'll Bring

  • Ability to thrive both independently and as part of a tight-knit team
  • The reflex to surface risk before it surfaces itself
  • Familiarity with the rhythms of a thoughtfully-bold part-time team
  • The kind of reliability that earns you the hard assignments

  Where most technology vendors automate the easy parts, DE Shaw tackles the hard ones, from a low-drama headquarters in Henderson, NV. Here, ownership means you're empowered to fix what's broken without waiting for permission.

  Expect $78,000 - $104,000, a hybrid Henderson office, generous PTO, and leaders who treat your development as a real priority.
