- Identifies opportunities to automate recurring operational issues, reducing manual toil and improving platform stability. Participates actively in sprint ceremonies, code reviews, and architecture discussions as a senior technical contributor
- Contributes to an internal developer productivity accelerator as a technical mentor and active builder across 10+ cross-functional teams
- Drives team adoption of enterprise-authorized AI-assisted engineering practices within the work environment to improve code quality, delivery speed, and operational outcomes (e.g., AI-assisted code review/refactoring, test strategy acceleration, incident/root-cause analysis support), while establishing consistent validation standards (secure coding, peer review, automated testing) and promoting reuse of effective patterns across the team.
Applies knowledge of tools within the Software Development Life Cycle toolchain, including enterprise-authorized AI-assisted development and automation capabilities, to improve the value realized by automation.
- Formal training or certification on software engineering concepts and 5+ years of applied experience
- Hands-on practical experience delivering system design, application development, testing, and operational stability. Advanced proficiency in Python; strong object-oriented programming fundamentals
- Proven experience building and deploying LLM-based or agentic AI systems in production. Deep understanding of RAG architecture, vector databases, and AI agent frameworks (e.g., Lang Graph, MCP)
- Proficiency in automation and continuous delivery methods (CI/CD, DevOps). Proficient across all phases of the Software Development Life Cycle
- Advanced understanding of agile methodologies and application resiliency patterns. Practical cloud-native experience on AWS (ECS, Lambda, S3 or equivalent)
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with ability to break down complex technical problems independently
- Demonstrated experience leading effective use of approved AI-assisted software development tools (e.g., for coding, code review, test acceleration, troubleshooting) with the ability to set team expectations for validating AI outputs for correctness, performance, and security.
Strong understanding of responsible AI use in engineering workflows, including data sensitivity considerations, secure handling of inputs/outputs, and adherence to resiliency and security expectations; experience coaching engineers on safe, compliant adoption within delivery practices
- Experience with post-trade financial platforms (e.g., Athena, Quartz, Sec DB)
- Knowledge of financial services industry IT systems, trade reconciliation,
and regulatory reporting workflows - Experience with AI / ML / Vibe coding and agentic development workflows
- Knowledge of distributed computing, data modeling, and performance engineering. Familiarity with data lineage, data contracts, and data governance frameworks
