Investment Banker

About

Our mission is to raise AGI with the richness of human intelligence - curious, witty, imaginative, and full of unexpected brilliance.

Surge was founded by engineers and researchers who dreamed of building the next generation AI. We're building a platform that powers the most powerful models in the world in partnership with companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, and Google.

At Surge, we believe the path to AGI isn't just about scaling compute - it's about embracing the unlimited ceiling of human intelligence and creativity in the data that shapes these systems. Our platform combines elite human expertise with cutting-edge tools for scalable oversight, from building rich RL environments to conducting rigorous evaluations that go beyond benchmarks. We've run a profitable business from day one without raising venture funding.

The Role

As an Investment Banker, you’ll translate real dealmaking rigor into high-fidelity datasets for training next-gen AI. You’ll structure complex, multi-constraint scenarios (M&A, financing, markets), craft evaluation rubrics that mirror client-ready deliverables, and rewrite model outputs to reflect how top bankers reason under pressure and incomplete information.

You won’t be pitching live deals - you’ll be encoding the judgment behind them. This is a role for someone who thrives on clarity under ambiguity, balances detail with narrative, and can turn messy business contexts into crisp analysis and decision frameworks.

‍

What we’re Looking for

• Bulge-Bracket Background – Current or former banker at a top-tier firm (e.g., Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley; preferred) with exposure to M&A and capital market
• Analytical Communication – Ability to produce client-grade materials: tight comps, defensible assumptions, and clear recommendation path
• Process Discipline – Methodical approach to QA, source hygiene, and reproducibility within data-centric workflows

Work You Might Do

• Rewriting model analyses into banker-quality output: investment memos, board-level summaries, and sensitivity commentary
• Designing scenario banks that capture realistic constraints (valuation ranges, covenant limits, market windows) with transparent assumptions
• Reviewing outputs for reasoning gaps: mis-specified drivers, flawed comps selection, or inconsistent cash-flow logic
• Partnering with Surge researchers to build evaluation suites that test prioritization, trade-offs, and executive-ready recommendations
