About Nevis
Nevis is building the world’s first AI wealth management platform. We are building the system financial advisors will run on for the next decade. Our AI completes work, automates workflows end to end, and frees advisors to spend more time with clients. In the future, every wealth management firm will run on Nevis.
Nevis was founded by an exceptional team of ex-Revolut executives and has raised a total of $40 million from world leading investors including Sequoia Capital, ICONIQ and Ribbit.
The Role
We are looking for an exceptional Software Engineer (Python) to help build the AI platform that powers intelligent workflows for the world’s top financial firms.
In this role, you will design and implement the Python systems, services, and orchestration layers that accelerate AI development across Nevis. You’ll work across applied AI, data pipelines, model execution frameworks, agentic systems, retrieval infrastructure, and backend components that support our AI products.
You’ll thrive here if you love building production-grade AI platforms, care about performance and reliability, and want to work on systems that move from idea to production in days. You’ll be joining a world-class engineering team with deep experience building AI systems at scale.
