AI Engineer — Platform Intelligence

About Nukleus

Nukleus is the career operating system for professional athletes — a single platform where contracts, financial data, NIL deals, social performance, and the entire ecosystem of advisors surrounding an athlete live together. We are building infrastructure that has never existed in professional sports, at a moment when the industry is ready for it. Our platform is live, our NFLPA and NBPA NDAs are signed, and we are growing fast. The data we are accumulating — across contracts, compensation, deal structures, social reach, and financial performance — represents an asset that no one in the industry has built before. This role exists to unlock it.

The Role

We are looking for an AI engineer who thinks in possibilities, not limitations. We have mapped out our AI based initiatives and we need the right engineer to walk in, evaluate what we have planned, and own the implementation. That means you may validate the architecture and execute it, or you may identify a better path and make the case for it. Either outcome is the right one. What we are not looking for is someone who simply executes instructions. We want an engineer with enough conviction and experience to push back when it matters and build with confidence when the direction is right.

Your mandate also extends to the entire platform. You will look at every feature we have built — contract management, financial tracking, NIL deal flow, social metrics, the Collab Hub, agent and advisor workflows — and ask what becomes possible when intelligence runs through all of it. You will use the proprietary data we store to create experiences that feel less like software and more like having the smartest analyst in professional sports sitting next to you at all times. You should have strong technical fundamentals, genuine excitement about what AI can do right now, and the creativity to imagine applications that nobody has thought of yet.
