Job description:

## About We often joke that Fintool is " **Warren Buffett as a Service.**" After Nicolas sold his previous startup—a legal search engine powered by AI—he invested part of the proceeds into Berkshire Hathaway stock, trusting in Buffett’s approach. Yet, with over a decade in AI, he couldn’t shake one question: Could a sophisticated language model replicate Warren Buffett’s investment process? Warren Buffett's letters, biographies, and investment decisions provide a wealth of knowledge about how to find, analyze, and understand companies. There are even textbooks on value investing that detail the step-by-step process. **What if we could break down Buffett’s process into individual tasks and use an AI agent to replicate his approach?** At Fintool, we took on that challenge. We deconstructed most of the tasks that Buffett performs to analyze a business—reading SEC filings, understanding earnings, evaluating management decisions—and we built an AI financial analyst to handle these tasks with precision and scale. ![](https://app.ashbyhq.com/api/images/user-content/29f36ead-2a86-4e0d-9702-587362f1ecf4/9b73d913-a32a-4b55-8401-d5381ddb7610/Screenshot%202024-09-26%20at%2013.42.36.png) ![](https://app.ashbyhq.com/api/images/user-content/29f36ead-2a86-4e0d-9702-587362f1ecf4/5ea4d0d1-72a0-4c9a-abff-0de9b7fbd808/Screenshot%202024-09-26%20at%2013.46.43.png) ## Team [Nicolas Bustamante](https://t.sidekickopen62.com/Ctc/2O+23284/d2Mf-m04/JkM2-6qcW6N1vHY6lZ3kXW7Dkk-77PmxSVV9tf4p6KFxlBW98vNY36284nVW4twqqh81H6LsW4ZyGgY64MFKpW95dJzb4llb1-W44tHwb3qyYhzW8tWx4Y7P8vGMW8bFyXK8LnJ8DW2mpzQK5J6rBlVsgqWf1w-vXkW3nnDCf4n4sgdN9651l12ZY3-W98TFCm4Sm9RBW9bS9t-7C-QylW3Lw6585n1F9YW7FdxDm6kmZ1dW63D0SL7wN6KGW34nQJY5XL2rBW48MwSQ1H2npzW4rD5rl6X_-61W3RKbNf4TlkgPf7kJjBg04): spent 7 years building one of the largest AI-driven legal search engines (Bloomberg for lawyers).

When people visit our office, they should be surprised by how few people we are. **Ship code** : we avoid meetings, PM jargon to release early, release often, and listen to customers. **In-person** : we believe high-performing teams do their best work, build long-term relationships, and have the most fun in person. ## Company Values **Clone and improve the best:** we're not about reinventing the wheel but about enhancing proven success. We are shameless cloners who stand on the shoulders of giants. We draw inspiration and then create differentiation because distinctiveness drives dominance. **Release early, release often, and listen to your customers** : speed matters in business, so we push better-than-perfect updates for customers asap. Mastery comes from repeated experiments and learning from mistakes rather than putting in a set number of hours. It’s 10,000 iterations, not 10,000 hours. **Warren Buffett:** We model our personal and professional ethos on the principles he exemplifies. Upholding integrity, valuing honesty, practicing frugality, championing lifelong learning, embracing humility, extending generosity, applying rationality, and demonstrating patience. Every day, we strive to mirror these Buffett-inspired virtues. ## Job Desc Your challenge is to build and optimize a **high-performance data ingestion and processing pipeline** for **LLM-powered financial applications**. You will be responsible for developing **scalable, low-latency ingestion systems** that handle **millions of structured and unstructured financial documents**. **Requirements** : Python, LLM. Knowing Spark and Databricks is a BIG plus. Typescript is also nice. **Experience** : 3+ years **Location:** San Francisco (no remote) **Contract** : Full-time **Apply via the form below 👇**
