OLarry only hires individuals based in the U.S..

Responsibilities

• Ensure the timely and high-quality delivery of engineering projects by setting clear priorities and deadlines.
• Build a pipeline that takes messy PDFs or scanned tax docs and extracts structured, searchable data — even when the AI gets it half-right
• Fine-tune how we use AI and vector search to automatically classify uploaded documents into categories like “Filed Return” or “Supporting Doc”
• Create a confidence scoring system for LLM outputs so downstream services know when to trust the data, and when to loop in a human.
• Prototype an AI-driven “Tax Scenario Planner” where users can explore what happens to their taxes if they sell stock, start a side business, or move states.
• Build a module that looks at a customer’s past return data and suggests tax-saving opportunities or gaps, using both rules and AI inference.
• Implement a forecasting tool that simulates future tax outcomes based on different income streams and entity structures.
• Help design a system that asks smart follow-up questions to refine a scenario, like an AI-powered tax assistant.
• Build LLM-powered summarization tools that explain complex return data to non-experts in plain language.
• Create internal tools for financial advisors or CPAs to visualize multiple return scenarios side-by-side for their clients.
• Explore collaborative filtering approaches to recommend planning strategies based on what similar users have done, without breaching data privacy.

Skills & Experience

• You’ve built and shipped real-world AI features — especially ones involving documents, workflows, or user-facing automation.
• You’re comfortable working with large language models (LLMs) and know how to make them useful, whether that’s through prompt design, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), or smart fallback logic when things go sideways, multi-agent pipelines.
• You’ve worked with vector databases, semantic search, or memory-like systems, and have opinions about how to make them fast and relevant
• You think in systems — how to break down complex, fuzzy tasks (like reading a tax form) into repeatable, reliable steps
• You’re hands-on with Python and comfortable owning ML pipelines end-to-end, from prototype to production
• You’ve worked with both structured (relational tables) and unstructured data (PDFs, forms, notes), and know how to stitch them together in a useful way
• You care about the user experience, not just the model output, and like working closely with product and design
• Previous experience with fintech or similarly regulated space
• A high level of EQ, personal drive, and professionalism that adheres to the OLarry Core Pillars.

Bonus if you’ve built tools or workflows involving:

• Scenario modeling or forecasting (e.g., helping users explore “what-if” outcomes)
• Recommendation systems (especially collaborative filtering or ranking systems)
• Multi-agent coordination or building agents that can reason through complex tasks

• Stock Options.
