Senior Machine Learning Engineer

You are more than a job title. We want you to feel comfortable doing great work and bringing your best, authentic self to everything you do. We value your talents, traditions, and uniqueness—and we’re committed to fostering a strong sense of belonging in a respectful workplace.

We intentionally seek diverse perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds, investing in a culture designed to celebrate differences. We believe that belonging leads to better outcomes and a stronger community of associates united by our mission. At Capital, we live our core values every day: Integrity, Client Focus, Diverse Perspectives, Long-Term Thinking, and Community.

We are looking for someone who can take a vague question from an investment professional, find a real answer in messy data, prove the answer holds, and build the thing that delivers it.

You will join the AI Insights team. We build the insight layer on top of Capital Group’s investment data: multi-agent systems that answer investment questions with citations, the evaluation methods that tell us whether those answers are any good, agents that take on expert analyst workflows end-to-end, and the extraction work that turns unstructured research, calls, and filings into reusable insight. Some problems here are better served by a conventional supervised model, and part of the job is knowing which is which.

Our work reaches across the investment organization, from research analysts to governance specialists to the teams behind portfolio and order management. Each partner brings its own data, its own workflow, and its own idea of what a good answer looks like. You go deep with one rather than skim, and you end up learning parts of the business most engineers never see.

Whether systems like these actually work, and how anyone would know, is still an open problem in this field, and making it answerable here is a large part of this role. This is applied science with a delivery bar, not a research lab: the answers have to hold up to people making real investment decisions, and they have to arrive as something working rather than a paper. Everyone on this team builds. There is no version of this role where you hand a design to someone else and review what comes back. We work hand in hand with a partner engineering team that owns the platform, so your time goes to the insight and the evaluation rather than the infrastructure underneath it.

How we work, and what we value

Nobody here is keeping score. Disagreement stays about the work rather than the person, and you do not have to be the loudest person in the room to have influence. A lot of the week goes to working sessions: brainstorming, design review, pair programming. The problems are genuinely ambiguous, and not all of them work out.

Rigor. You try to break your own result before anyone else does. Ownership. You are a driver, not a passenger. Humility. A better argument can change your mind. Pragmatism. You know when a rough answer is enough and when it has to be airtight.

At Capital Group, the success of the people who invest with us depends on the people in whom we invest. That’s why we offer a culture, compensation and opportunities that empower our associates to build successful and prosperous careers. Through nine decades, our goal has been to improve people’s lives through successful investing. We know that our history is a testament to the strength of the people we hire. More than 9,000 associates in 30+ offices around the world help our clients and each other grow and thrive every day. Find us on LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube and Glassdoor.‎ ‎
