The role
As a Member of Technical Staff focused on Applied AI, you’ll own our AI stack end to end. One framing we keep coming back to: agents are the primary users of our system of record. Everything we build (the data models, the APIs, the UI) has to work for a non-human user that operates at scale, across every client, all the time. That’s a different design constraint than most teams are used to.
What you’ll build (and own)
Example problems you’d work on
These aren’t hypothetical problems; we’re actively working on versions of all of these.
The kind of person who thrives here
You’re excited by ownership, ambiguity, and building things that matter.
Arca is a wealth management firm built from the ground up with AI. Most people get financial advice that's reactive: an annual check-in, a plan that's a document instead of a living thing, a relationship where you're one of three hundred clients your advisor is trying to remember. Arca is rebuilding wealth management from the inside with AI — an Iron Man suit for advisors that takes over the low-leverage work so they can focus on what actually requires a human: showing up with empathy, context, and judgment. The platform keeps a living understanding of each client, notices when life changes happen, and adjusts before clients think to ask. Started by acquiring firms managing over $1B in client assets, giving real advisors, real clients, and real financial outcomes to build against from day one.
