About QuantPilot
QuantPilot is 3Commas' AI trading copilot: agents that research markets, generate trading strategies, backtest them and iterate on them together with the trader in a chat. We are building it for serious retail traders who want institutional-grade research tools that until now were available mainly to hedge funds and prop desks.

About the role
You will join the Applied AI team, a small product team focused entirely on the engine behind QuantPilot's agent: AI research, strategy generation and the agent platform that runs them.
The central problem of this role is making agents produce strategies that are statistically sound, not only plausible-looking, and proving it with evaluation. We judge our work by what traders get out of it, not by features shipped.
Models change every few months, so we invest in the engineering around them and prefer to own that code rather than depend on heavy frameworks.

What you'll do
• Own the agent architecture end to end: orchestration, tool loops, context management, sandboxes and model routing, including the quality,



cost and latency trade-offs of running it in production.

• Own the contracts between the engine and the product, including how the frontend renders agent events.

• Build and own the evaluation layer: offline evals, backtest-based quality metrics and regression detection for every prompt or model change.

• Bring statistical rigor to strategy evaluation: overfitting detection, robustness checks, and walk-forward and out-of-sample validation.

• Build the data foundations the agent reasons over, with provenance, validation and a consistent model of market entities, and make the system observable enough to diagnose non-deterministic failures in production.

• Shape what gets built: refine requirements with product, set technical direction through RFCs and ADRs, and mentor engineers moving into LLM systems.

What we're looking for
• 5+ years of backend or ML engineering, including at least one year building
