Key skills for this role
As a Context Engineer at CapIntel, you'll sit at the intersection of AI infrastructure and engineering. You will be responsible for how large language models are integrated into our core platform and how our engineering team adopts agentic workflows. This is a hands-on, production-focused role, not a research one. You'll build the systems that make our AI features reliable, accurate, and scalable for the wealth management enterprises that depend on us.
You'll be embedded in development teams working closely with engineers, product managers, and domain experts across the organization to design and deliver LLM-powered capabilities that directly enhance the advisor and client experience. As one of the first practitioners in this discipline at CapIntel, you'll also help define what context engineering looks like here: setting patterns and practices the broader team can build on.
This role is ideal for someone who thinks in systems, cares about production reliability over demo-day performance, and is energized by working in a discipline that is evolving quickly.
