About Capsa AI
At Capsa, we’re on a mission to transform how private capital firms source, analyse, and win deals. Our AI operating system accelerates due diligence, unlocks deeper insights, and helps funds focus on what matters — creating value.
We’re lean, ambitious, and obsessed with building a category-defining company. In just 12 months, we’ve grown ARR by 15x, achieved product–market fit with leading multi-billion-dollar PE firms, and expanded across the US, UK, and Europe. Backed by top VCs and senior PE execs from Warburg Pincus, KKR, and Goldman Sachs, we’re just getting started.
The Role
A senior AI engineer at Capsa is expected to own projects and features from conception to production, focusing on our core AI capabilities and agent infrastructure.
Key Responsibilities
- Improving our agent's capabilities - design and implement new features that endow our agent with human-level investment expertise.
- Designing and optimising prompts, agent architectures, and reasoning chains to maximise output quality and reliability.
- Evaluating and integrating new models, techniques, and research to keep our AI capabilities at the cutting edge.
- Improving connectivity - integrate and incorporate additional data sources into our agent loop, increasing the depth and breadth of the analyses that can be performed.
- Maintaining high code quality - uphold rigorous standards across our codebase, ensuring tech debt doesn't impede our velocity.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
