Arta Finance
Arta is on an audacious and incredibly rewarding mission: to pave the way for people everywhere to lead more successful financial lives. Arta leverages AI and sophisticated digital tools—once reserved for ultra-high-net-worth individuals—and makes them accessible to a broader global audience.
The Team

At Arta, everything revolves around data: from training and deploying ML models, to managing wealth, to delivering intuitive, high-performance user interfaces. We build for scale, speed, and transparency—and we’re looking for someone who thrives at the intersection of performance engineering and fintech innovation. The Role
You’ll work with a team of product managers, designers, ML researchers, and investment professionals to ideate, prioritize, define, prototype, develop, test, and iterate on the software that will fundamentally change our users’ relationships with their money. We're looking for engineers who are versatile and enthusiastic about taking on new problems as our fast-paced business rapidly evolves. What You Will Do
