  • Evaluate, integrate, and fine-tune LLMs and embedding models for specific financial use cases.
  • Build and maintain MLOps deployment pipelines to ensure reliability, observability, and governance of GenAI models.
  • Design and implement multi-agent orchestration frameworks for complex, multi-step operational workflows.
  • Optimize data pipelines and manage vector databases to feed information into AI systems.
  • Ensure all AI solutions comply with regulatory requirements, risk standards, and data privacy protocols.
  • Mentor junior developers and lead code reviews to establish GenAI standards across the organization.

What we're looking for

  • 6+ years of professional software engineering experience.
  • 2+ years of experience focused on Generative AI or LLM application development.
  • Expert-level Python proficiency including async programming, API development, and software design patterns.
  • Hands-on experience with GenAI frameworks like LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, and Google Cloud AI Platform.
  • Experience with RAG architectures, embedding pipelines, vector databases, and prompt engineering techniques.
  • Proficiency in ML fundamentals, including model evaluation, fine-tuning (LoRA, PEFT), and inference optimization.
  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and MLOps tools like Docker, Kubernetes, and MLflow.
  • A Bachelor's degree is required, while a Master's degree in Computer Science or AI/ML is preferred.
