Chief Investment Officer CIO
Own Henry's investment strategy and its integrity — turning research into a defensible, reproducible track record you can stand behind.
Apply for this role →Atheneo AI is a modern athenaeum — a house of knowledge built for everyone, not the few. We build artificial intelligence the conscious way: safe by design, made with conscience, and pointed at human flourishing. We're a woman-led company, and that vantage point is the point — we build so the instruments of advantage reach the people the old systems overlooked, not just the already-powerful.
Safe by design
Safety is the first constraint we build under — not a feature bolted on at the end.
Built with conscience
We weigh the human consequences of what we make before we ship it.
Power to the overlooked
We build for the people the old systems overlooked — because who can use a tool shapes the future.
Elevate, never replace
Our AI works for you, within the rules you set — a steward, not a master.
Our first work is Henry — a trading intelligence that puts institution-grade capability in everyone's hands. It's how we prove the mission in practice, not just on a page.
We're moving from private beta toward public launch, building the company and the product in parallel. You'd be joining founding-team early, with real ownership over what Atheneo becomes.
As founding CIO, you'll define, validate, and defend the trading logic, and set the standard for how honestly we talk about performance.
What you'll own
- Investment strategy — design, validation, and iteration
- Risk management and exposure discipline
- A reproducible, honest track record — no hindsight, no fabrication
- The “why Henry wins” thesis, and the evidence behind it
- Disclosures and guardrails on any forward-looking claims
What we're looking for
- Deep markets experience — quant, trading, or portfolio management
- CFA charter (required)
- Series 65 — or a CFA-based exemption — to register as an investment adviser representative
- Rigorous and evidence-driven; you distrust results you can't reproduce
- A track record of real strategy work, not just backtests
- High integrity on performance claims
Logistics
- Founding team, direct partnership with the founder
- Remote-first
- Meaningful equity
- Full-time
