You will develop high-quality production code for data-intensive applications, lead end-to-end design of complex features, and mentor junior engineers while contributing to firmwide frameworks. Your daily work involves building agentic AI systems with multi-agent workflows, implementing LLM-based applications including RAG pipelines and vector store integrations, and managing observability and safety for production AI. You will utilize Python, Java, Kafka, Redis, and Spark/PySpark within cloud-native environments like AWS, Azure, or GCP. The role addresses complex technical challenges in the financial services industry, specifically focusing on large-scale data processing, microservices, and the integration of responsible, governed AI tools into the software development lifecycle.

What you'll do

  • Develop secure, high-quality production code for data-intensive applications and platforms.
  • Lead end-to-end design and implementation of complex software features from requirements through deployment.
  • Build and maintain agentic AI systems with multi-agent workflows and human-in-the-loop controls.
  • Implement LLM-based applications including RAG pipelines, embedding workflows, and vector store integrations.
  • Manage observability, evaluation, and safety for production AI systems including prompt monitoring and cost tracking.
  • Automate the remediation of recurring issues to improve operational stability.
  • Mentor junior and mid-level engineers through code reviews and sharing engineering best practices.
  • Drive adoption and governance of approved AI-assisted engineering practices across teams.

What we're looking for

  • Formal training or certification on software engineering concepts and 5+ years of applied experience.
  • Hands-on experience building and shipping LLM-based applications and agentic systems with tool use, memory, and multi-step reasoning in production environments.
  • Advanced proficiency in one or more programming languages, particularly Python and/or Java.
  • Deep experience with large-scale data processing, microservices, API design, and event streaming (Kafka).
  • Working knowledge of relational and NoSQL databases, vector stores, and data lake architectures.
  • Experience with caching technologies, observability tools (Dynatrace, Splunk, Grafana), and orchestration frameworks (Airflow, Temporal).
  • Proficiency in CI/CD, test-driven development, automation, and all aspects of the Software Development Lifecycle.
  • Practical cloud-native engineering experience (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and experience with enterprise-authorized AI-assisted software development tools.
