Founding Engineer

About us -------- Multiplier makes an AI platform for professional stockpickers. We tell friends and investors about the grand visionmaking AI that complements humans rather than substituting for thembut we're starting narrow. Here's what we tell customers: > _"You know you need AI. But you've been offered two bad options: either you cobble together siloed point solutions (AlphaSense, ASKB, LinqAlpha) or take on a new full-time job as Claude-wrangler. Meanwhile, there's more information to process and the markets move faster than ever. You need to unify fundamental data, email, trade history, risk metrics, sellside research, charting, top-of-funnel screening, firm context, models, your portfolio, and the market news you needall in one place for the humans and AIs to self-improve. Multiplier does it for you. We launched in May and are live with six hedge funds. We're backed by Y Combinator, Lux Capital, the Chairman of Fortress, co-CIOs of Bridgewater, et cetera."_ About the role -------------- The product itself is a single pane of glass for all human and agent investment work.
