Are you a technical leader who thrives at architecting agentic AI systems and shipping them in production? Do you want to help define how autonomous, tool-using AI agents get built into a real, customer-facing product? If so, we invite you to apply to join our AI Platform team, where we're building the future of investment management software.
As a Principal Engineer on the AI Platform team, you will guide the architecture and development of Ridgeline's agentic AI platform while also directly contributing to product delivery.
