About Aurelian Venture
Aurelian Venture builds vertical AI platforms that deliver predictive intelligence for high-stakes industries.
We create SaaS tools that forecast critical outcomes before they become costly problems or missed opportunities — using large-scale public data, advanced NLP, RAG architectures, and probabilistic modeling.
Current portfolio includes:
- Predictive regulatory & enforcement risk intelligence for fintech
- Predictive compliance & development optimization for pharma/biotech
- Predictive partnership & revenue synergy intelligence for B2B/SaaS
Each platform scrapes and analyzes tens of thousands of domain-specific documents, identifies emerging patterns and trends, and delivers prioritized, actionable, citation-backed insights to enterprise clients.
We are early-stage, with live demos, paying pilots, and strong traction in multiple verticals.
The Role
You will lead the core AI/ML architecture across Aurelian Venture’s portfolio of predictive platforms.
This is a builder + leadership position: design production-grade ML systems, own the technical vision, and scale from prototype to enterprise SaaS while mentoring a growing team.
Core Responsibilities:
- Architect and lead development of large-scale RAG systems on domain-specific document corpora (tens of thousands of PDFs/HTMLs)
- Build advanced NLP pipelines for pattern detection, trend forecasting, risk/opportunity scoring, and citation-aware remediation recommendations
- Design probabilistic and time-series models that handle noisy, imbalanced, evolving data with strong explainability
- Own end-to-end ML lifecycle: data acquisition & preprocessing → embedding & vector search → model training → MLOps & monitoring
- Implement audit-ready practices: explainable AI, bias detection, drift monitoring, full provenance tracking
- Guide architecture decisions that enable reuse across verticals while preserving domain specificity
- Mentor engineers and collaborate with domain experts to ensure predictions are both technically robust and commercially valuable
QualificationsRequired:
- 7+ years hands-on production ML experience, with emphasis on NLP and large unstructured document systems
- Deep expertise building and optimizing RAG pipelines at scale (LangChain/LlamaIndex, chunking strategies, retrieval tuning)
- Strong proficiency with modern ML stacks: PyTorch/Hugging Face Transformers, vector databases (Pinecone/Weaviate/FAISS), Python ecosystem
- Experience leading technical direction and small-to-medium engineering efforts
- Track record shipping explainable, reliable models in high-stakes or regulated environments
Strongly Preferred:
- Background in RegTech, LegalTech, ComplianceTech, FinTech AI, PharmaTech, or similar vertical intelligence platforms
- Experience with large-scale public document scraping, parsing, and metadata enrichment pipelines
- Familiarity with MLOps best practices (MLflow, CI/CD, monitoring, cost optimization)
Why Aurelian Venture?
- Work across multiple high-growth verticals with shared technical DNA
- Massive equity upside in an early-stage company with proven pilots and paying customers
- Lead and scale the AI function from the beginning
- Remote-first culture with flexibility and strong benefits
- Opportunity to define the future of vertical predictive AI across regulated and high-value industries
