Frontier AI Research Engineer - Focus Capital Markets

Focus Capital Markets has been at the forefront of agentic AI since its inception.

Helmed by the creator of one of the most recognized enterprise AI agents in the world, our rapidly growing AI startup is already recognized as the nextmoonshot layer ahead of most perceived frontier AI labs like Anthropic and OpenAI.

The team, comprised of PhD AI researchers and frontier AI founders, has developed its own patented models that surpass the continuity and complexity of their predecessors.

This unicorn team is looking for a well-rounded AI researcher with a strong engineering background, capable of taking projects end-to-end, from research -> building and deploying new models that are ahead of the hyperscalers and what people consider 'frontier.'

This is a true technical playground for someone that wants autonomy across the full lifecycle of frontier AI model development rather than working in silos.

It is a once in a lifetime opportunity to join a company led by some of the most remarkable people in all of Gen AI, which is also rapidly growing and positioned to achieve multibillion dollar unicorn status at an early age.
