Job Title: Data Infrastructure Engineer, AI Agents

Salary: £70k-£90k + Equity

Company Description: Arctal - AI-native financial data platform

Job Description:
Join a high-output team of five reinventing financial data. You will own the entire data infrastructure function, building systems that transform 100,000+ unstructured documents into high-stakes institutional datasets. By leveraging autonomous AI agents, you'll create a scalable engine that outproduces departments ten times its size for the world's leading asset managers.

Location: London, UK

Why this role is remarkable:

• Massive leverage: Join a lean team of five that produces the output of fifty, using a proprietary fleet of autonomous AI agents (LISA, TIM, DAN, ADA) to disrupt a $100bn+ market

• Founders with pedigree: Work directly with founders who have backgrounds in Cambridge ML research and have successfully co-founded deep-tech ventures like Secondmind and Sylvera

• CTO Trajectory: This is a foundational role offering a "fastest-in-market" education in agentic workflows, with a clear path to leadership as the company scales to meet existing institutional demand

What you will do:

• Own the end-to-end data lifecycle including ingestion, cleanup, storage, transformation, and distribution of millions of unstructured financial PDFs

• Architect and maintain high-reliability pipelines and quality monitoring systems that institutional buyers rely on for multi-million dollar decision-making

• Build and refine the infrastructure for existing and new AI agents, pushing the boundaries of how agentic tooling like Claude Code and Codex are used in production

The ideal candidate:

• 3–5 years of experience building production data pipelines or ML systems with a "data-as-a-product" mindset and a deep obsession with data integrity

• Expert-level Python skills with proficiency in Postgres, async programming, task queues, and scraping, alongside daily use of agentic coding tools

• Proven track record in small, high-autonomy environments (2-30 people) where you drive projects from concept to shipment without needing hand-holding or tickets

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.
