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.
About the Role
You’ll bridge research and engineering—rapidly implementing, experimenting with, and scaling new algorithms and models. You’ll work closely with scientists and founders to translate ideas into high-performance systems, and will operate across the stack from prototyping to deployment.
Responsibilities
Prototype and scale experimental models (LLMs, RL agents, agentic systems) on large, real-world data.
Build tools and pipelines for training, evaluation, and analysis.
Implement state-of-the-art research from papers and iterate in collaboration with scientists.
Own the full ML lifecycle: data engineering, experimentation, training, and deployment.
Operate in a highly autonomous, engineering-driven environment.
Requirements
Strong background in deep learning, reinforcement learning, or computational modeling.
Expert-level Python and significant experience in ML frameworks (PyTorch, JAX, TensorFlow).
Ability to translate research into robust, scalable systems.
Experience with distributed computing or large-scale ML pipelines.
Demonstrated curiosity and hands-on experimentation skills.
Expertise in leveraging the latest AI tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, etc) to increase productivity & code output while maintaining high code quality, maintainability, and structure.

High agency, talent dense, zero bureaucracy
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.
