Role

As one of Samaya's Finance Product Managers, you'll own the domain strategy that helps investment professionals find actionable insights in vast, noisy datasets. You'll be the bridge between our Product, ML Research, and Engineering teams: defining real-world financial workflows, curating evaluation datasets, and validating AI outputs in live client pilots. Your expertise will directly shape the platform's capabilities in valuation, modeling, and due diligence.

This is a hands-on role for someone who already knows finance deeply and wants to shape how AI does that work, rather than advise on it from a distance. Your financial judgment sets the standard the product is held to, and you should expect to be in the detail day to day, in a fast-moving startup where the playbook is still being written.

Responsibilities

Product & Domain

  • Translate financial workflows — turn investment banking, private equity, buy-side, and sell-side research workflows into product requirements and success metrics
  • Author playbooks — codify best practices for AI-assisted financial analysis
  • Surface insights — bring high-signal findings back to inform roadmap priorities

Evaluation & Pilots

  • Build the evals — design proprietary benchmarks, test suites, and datasets for model evaluation
  • Partner with ML Research — work with researchers to refine models, shape prompt strategies, and validate outputs against expert standards
  • Run client pilots — co-pilot pilots with leading financial institutions, gather feedback, and iterate fast
  • Work in the detail — grade answers and audit agent execution traces; getting models to do expert financial work involves a lot that looks like associate-level work

Experience

Required

  • Institutional Finance Background — 3+ years at a top-tier investment bank, hedge fund, asset manager, or buy-side/sell-side research team (equity research included)
  • Deep finance expertise — strong command of one or more of financial modeling, valuation, capital markets research, and deal execution
  • Translates ambiguity — proven ability to turn ambiguous problems into clear requirements and measurable outcomes
  • Exceptional communicator — clear written and verbal communication with senior stakeholders
  • Genuine AI fluency — you use AI in your work concretely, not just in passing

Preferred

  • Technical fluency — hands-on scripting in Python or SQL for data analysis
  • Both sides of research — exposure to both sell-side and buy-side research models
  • Startup exposure — prior experience at a fast-growing fintech or AI startup
Compensation

The cash compensation range for this role is $140,000 - $210,000.

Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors, including, experience and expertise, and may vary from the amounts listed above.

In addition to the base salary, we may consider equity as part of our total compensation package.

Benefits

Health: Access comprehensive health insurance, including medical, dental, vision, flexible spending account (FSA), and short-term disability.

WealthSupport for your long-term financial wellbeing with a 401(k) and pre-tax benefits (e.g. commuting).

RestEnjoy flexibility to rest and recharge as needed, with unlimited PTO (Paid Time Off).

Flexibility: Work flexibly with a hybrid setup - typically team members spend a minimum of three days in the office per week.

Travel: Grow and connect with a travel budget that encourages conference attendance, customer visits, and team gatherings.

Equipment: Create your ideal workspace with an office Equipment allowance to set up what works best for you.

Inclusive Hiring

Interview Accommodations: We are committed to ensuring an equitable selection process for everyone and welcome applicants from varied backgrounds to enrich our team. If you require accommodations or adjustments during our recruitment process, please inform us.

Equal Opportunity Employer: We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy and gender identity), national origin, political affiliation, sexual orientation, marital status, disability, genetic information, age, membership in an employee organization, retaliation, parental status, military service, or other non-merit factor.

Visa Sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. If we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.

About Samaya

Samaya builds Expert AI Agents that turn information from the global financial market into investment conviction.
The global financial market is the largest and most valuable information ecosystem in the world, connecting billions of people, influencing every type of productive human activity, and driving tens of trillions of dollars of value. At its core is investment decision-making: identifying areas of productive activity, allocating resources, carried out by millions of people across the globe.
But that process is at a breaking point. The past two decades have brought an exponential increase in market complexity: more information sources, more asset types, more disruptive themes like AI reshaping every corner of the market. For investors, this means exponentially more depth, breadth, and speed required on every decision.
The response is a forced tradeoff: zoom in on a sector or basket of companies and manage the flood, but lose sight of adjacent dynamics that move markets. Or zoom out to track broad themes, but lose the needle-in-a-haystack details that drive precise decisions. No market sector evolves in isolation, and this lack of a simultaneously zoomed-in and zoomed-out picture costs hundreds of billions in missed or suboptimal investment decisions every year.
Samaya was founded to reimagine investment decision-making across the global financial market. General-purpose AI can’t reason about cause and effect across complex economic systems, embed firm-specific context, or execute reliably over long-horizon workflows. We built something different: a purpose-built AI system combining proprietary financial reasoning models, a long-horizon execution engine with persistent memory, and full auditability. Built by a team from Google DeepMind, Meta, Microsoft, and Stanford with 100+ papers and 50k+ citations, it achieves 98% accuracy on financial reasoning tasks where generic LLMs reach 53%. The result is AI that learns how each investor thinks and seamlessly takes them from information to conviction.
Our user base has scaled to 10,000+, with partnerships spanning top financial institutions worldwide, including Morgan Stanley. We’re backed by $43.5M in Series A funding led by NEA, with investors including Eric Schmidt, NVIDIA, Databricks, Yann LeCun, Jeff Dean, Marty Chavez, and Mark Cuban.

Our Operating Principles

Put Users first. Our users rely on us to do their jobs. We exist because our users trust us to help them achieve their goals. In return for this trust users place in us, we keep their needs as our top priority.

Win as a collective. We are high achievers with a drive to succeed. We build strong bonds over this shared drive. We dive in to help when one of us needs it. We’re kind to each other and boost each other to succeed and grow professionally and personally. We build trust with each other by making commitments and consistently delivering on them. This trust means we genuinely support each other, embracing feedback as a tool for growth and improvement. We win by operating this way, as one team.

Focus and iterate quickly. Bias for action makes us build and learn quickly. Iterating fast requires clarity on what outcomes we are targeting and why. Prioritizing the important things, taking full ownership and initiative, making fast initial progress, and rapid iterations lead to the best outcomes.

Innovate Relentlessly. We pursue novel insights, challenging the status quo and reimagining how things are done. We aren’t attached to the past when improving our product and how we work in the future. We actively invest time in innovation, thinking “outside the box” to consistently raise our standards.

Prioritize Outcomes over Egos. We are committed not to a person, an idea, or an opinion but to continuously making progress to our goals. Sometimes, our goals are ambiguous; in those moments, we iterate, learn, and move on to the next inquiry. We ask the tough questions with kindness, dropping our egos in our pursuit of evidence. For our business goals, we learn from our users. For our scientific goals, our understanding is built through rigorous experimentation, research, and observation. For our personal goals, we embrace candid feedback and collaborative learning to guide our progress.
