ATG (Autonomous Technologies Group) is an AI lab deploying frontier reasoning systems within financial markets.
Founders: Early GPU cloud (9 figure exit).
Investors: Garry Tan / YC + Founder of one of the most successful quant funds, BoxGroup (Plaid, Ramp, Stripe), top-tier angels.
You’ll build core user interfaces, APIs, and backend infrastructure. You’ll operate across the stack: designing, shipping, and maintaining everything from frontend product experiences to backend services that power strategy, data, and operations. This role is ideal for someone who likes shipping end-to-end, cares about craft, and enjoys working in a small team with high ownership.
Design, build, and maintain frontend applications (web and/or mobile) and backend APIs powering core product experiences.
Work closely with research/quant and product teams to turn investment logic, simulations, and data pipelines into reliable product surfaces.
Build internal dashboards, tools, and data visualizations for monitoring portfolios, experiments, and operational workflows.
Own features end-to-end: architecture, implementation, testing, deployment, observability, and iteration.
Maintain high standards for code quality, usability, reliability, and performance.
Improve developer velocity through good systems: CI/CD, tooling, clear interfaces, and pragmatic documentation.
3+ years experience as a full stack engineer (startup, product team, or high-ownership environment).
Strong skills in modern JavaScript/TypeScript frameworks (e.g., React, Next.js) and backend development (Python, Node, Go, etc.).
Experience building, testing, and deploying production web applications.
Experience designing and integrating APIs (REST and/or GraphQL), plus strong understanding of data modeling and system boundaries.
Solid fundamentals: debugging, performance, and reliability in real-world systems.
Ability to work autonomously, prioritize well, and thrive in a fast-moving, research-driven culture.
Comfort leveraging modern AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, etc.) to increase output while maintaining maintainability and structure.
(Optional) Experience with mobile development (React Native, Swift, Kotlin, Flutter).
(Optional) Experience with financial systems, portfolio data, or high-stakes UX.

Autonomous is a superintelligent financial advisor at 0% advisory fees.
Today, managing your money means one of two bad options:
DIY your money: You end up with accounts everywhere (401k, IRAs, brokerage, crypto, savings, equity, secondaries). Your spreadsheet is always wrong. You make expensive mistakes because this isn't your full-time job.
Hire a financial advisor: They'll manage your money and charge 1-2% of assets annually. Run that math over multiple decades and you're handing over half your net worth to fees.
Neither path can economically deliver the sophisticated, personalized strategies the ultra-wealthy use to compound wealth: strategic tax-loss harvesting across individual securities, systematic risk management, portfolio-backed borrowing to defer capital gains, access to alternatives, etc.
These aren't secret – they're just economically impossible to deliver at scale through traditional human advisors.
Robos were supposed to fix this, but they were designed in a pre-AI world. In practice they just manage cookie-cutter portfolios. They don’t coordinate across your 401(k), taxable accounts, mortgage, equity, and cash flow, they don’t help with real decisions like job offers, windfalls, or concentrated stock, and they don’t deliver institutional strategies. That’s why, even after a decade plus, the biggest robos are still <$100B AUM while old-school advisors like Raymond James / Edward Jones sit on trillions.
We’re doing for financial advising what Robinhood did for brokerages. Think of it as a full-stack, AI-native wealth strategist that brings billionaire-style playbooks to ordinary investors.
Autonomous is built around a frontier-scale reasoning engine—an AI that perceives global events as they unfold, understanding their deeper implications for markets and and most importantly, how these events will impact your investments.

No applications, no recruiter spam. Just the intro.
A few questions to make sure this role is the right shape for you. Two minutes.
I write the intro, send it to the founder, and handle the back-and-forth.
If they’re a yes, I book the chat. You show up — that’s the whole job-hunt.
