About Supernova Technology

Founded in 2014, we offer the industry’s first and only cloud-based, fully-customizable, end-to-end software solution to automate securities-based lending from origination through the life of the loan. By combining thought leadership in suitability and risk management with industry-leading education and the latest technology, Supernova enables advisors to deliver holistic, goals-based advice and to help their clients achieve financial wellness. We partner with the industry’s largest banks, most prominent insurance companies and leading online brokerages to democratize access to securities-based lending and better the entire financial ecosystem.


Why Join Supernova?

At Supernova Technology, we believe that the best results come from a team that is passionate, driven, and supported in all aspects of their professional lives. Here, you’ll work alongside talented and innovative individuals who are committed to driving the future of securities-based lending technology. We foster a culture of collaboration, continuous learning, and growth, where each person’s contributions make a real impact.


About the Role

We're not looking for the most experienced person in the room. We're looking for the most curious one.


This role is for someone who thinks in systems, moves fast, and treats AI as a first instinct, not a last resort. You'll work across product and engineering, experiment constantly, and help build AI systems that actually work in the real world. Some days you'll be deep in an LLM integration. Others you'll be rethinking how a workflow should behave entirely. That kind of context-switching doesn't throw you off, it's what keeps you engaged.


Responsibilities

  • Build and iterate on agentic AI workflows using modern agent frameworks
  • Develop agent skills, tools, and guardrails that keep systems reliable
  • Integrate with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) and optimize how they're used
  • Build eval suites to measure quality and catch regressions before they matter
  • Rapidly prototype new ideas and test them against reality
  • Stay genuinely current with the AI landscape and bring what you learn back to the team


Qualifications

Mindset & Behavior

  • Genuinely curious: You explore things outside your lane because you can't help it
  • Adaptable: The AI landscape shifts weekly and you keep up with it, not because you have to, but because you want to
  • Strong bias toward action: You test ideas instead of sitting on them
  • AI-native: You've been hands-on with AI tools and thinking about what's possible
  • Fast learner: You pick up new concepts and frameworks quickly and independently
  • Safety-conscious: You understand that moving fast and building responsibly aren't opposites

Experience & Skills

  • Proficiency in Python and familiarity with backend development is a plus
  • Exposure to LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)
  • Familiarity with REST APIs and backend architecture basics
  • Experience with FastAPI, Flask, or similar frameworks is a plus
  • Basic understanding of relational databases (Postgres) is a plus
  • Familiarity with Redis, Docker, or cloud environments is a plus
  • A degree in CS or engineering, or a portfolio that makes it irrelevant is a big plus
  • Applications must include a personal website, GitHub profile, or portfolio showcasing projects and code samples.


We value learning velocity, curiosity, and builder energy over years of experience. If you’re excited about applied AI and have built things you’re proud of (even if you don’t meet every qualification listed) we encourage you to apply.
