Integrate with vendor AI platforms and internal AI solutions, reusing existing capabilities where possible
Instrument solutions to track adoption, quality, business value, ROI, cost, and risk
Partner with technology teams to ensure solutions are secure, compliant, auditable, and maintainable
Run rapid evaluation cycles and contribute reusable components, patterns, and tools for wider adoption

What we expect

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Data Science, Computer Science, AI/ML, Software Engineering, Quantitative Finance, or a related field
5+ years of software engineering experience, including financial services exposure and strong understanding of markets
2+ years delivering ML/AI solutions to production, including end-to-end delivery of LLM-enabled applications (from prototyping to deployment and monitoring)
Strong Python skills and proven ability to design and build maintainable, high-quality software in enterprise environments
Working knowledge of the software development lifecycle (SDLC), version control, and modern DevOps practices
Demonstrated ability to translate ambiguous business needs into clear scopes, roadmaps, and measurable success metrics
