We value creating a space for both personal and professional growth and encourage a curious and creative mindset to bring us forward.  If most or all of the above feels like a match, please shoot us an application and we will get back to you ASAP. Applications are reviewed continuously.

Alvenir

$ whoami We're Alvenir. We ship agentic AI into financial services production environments. Our platform, Pontus, hooks into live conversations - transcribes, documents, queries internal systems, and feeds real-time assistance to advisors. Not a chatbot. Autonomous agents that react to conversational state in real-time. DTU spinout, founded 2021. We've evolved from research-grade ASR into a full enterprise stack: custom speech models with quantified uncertainty, a multi-model API layer (self-hosted OSS → frontier models), and an agentic orchestration system where agents are configured in natural language. Pontus runs in production at multiple large enterprise customers, processing tens of thousands of conversations monthly with measurable impact. Active deployments and integrations across Danish financial institutions. We are a small team of technical brains operating out of Applebys Plads, Copenhagen. We utilize a forward-deployed engineering model - our people work directly with advisors, compliance teams, and IT departments. No helpdesk middlemen. Stack: Python, K8s, Terraform, Scaleway/AWS/Azure, Electron, gRPC. Linux-heavy, hands-on dev culture. We're looking for people who get excited about the technical - building stuff that actually runs in production in one of the most regulated industries that exists.
