In this role, you'll make an impact in the following ways:

• Embed with business and platform stakeholders to scope and execute time-boxed FDE engagements with clear entry and exit criteria; translate defined opportunities into production-ready delivery plans.
• Design, build, and harden AI-first solutions across data, APIs, services, and workflow integrations, moving confidently from prototype to secure, scalable production deployment.
• Default to reuse-first delivery: extend existing platforms, templates, and modules rather than building avoidable one-offs; contribute reusable code and patterns back to shared repositories.
• Execute discovery with operating teams and sponsors to clarify constraints, validate feasibility, and rapidly prototype where useful before hardening into production.
• Surface patterns and learnings from engagements that can be standardized and promoted into shared platform capabilities.
• Apply secure-by-default practices consistently; incorporate observability, testability, and operational readiness into every solution delivered.
• Prepare clear handoff packages and transition plans so owning teams can sustain solutions independently after forward deployment ends.
• Operate within the FDE playbook and contribute feedback to refine standards, handoff criteria, and working norms based on field experience.
• Coordinate with control, architecture, security, and compliance stakeholders to keep solutions production-appropriate and governance-compliant.
• Program well-designed, testable, efficient code; actively participate in code reviews and maintain software functionality while managing technical debt.
• Apply security and privacy principles throughout the software development lifecycle.
• Mentor junior engineers; engage in active learning, complete mandatory training, and stay abreast of emerging technologies.

To be successful in this role, we're seeking the following:

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, or a related discipline, or equivalent work experience.
• 1014 years of hands-on software development experience, including direct delivery of production systems; experience in the securities or financial services industry is a plus.
• Strong foundational understanding of modern AI and agentic application patterns, including retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), semantic search, and agent-based system design.
• Hands-on experience building backend services, APIs, and production systems.
• Experience working across architecture, data, and platform concerns rather than only within a narrow layer.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience delivering AI, data, or workflow-heavy solutions in regulated environments.
• Strong systems-thinking and architecture judgment across services, data, and infrastructure.
• Comfort operating in ambiguity and driving discovery with senior stakeholders.
• Experience balancing speed with governance, security, and operational rigor.
• Familiarity with reusable platform patterns, internal developer platforms, or productized infrastructure.
• Experience with observability, evaluation, and day-2 production ownership practices.

Technical Skills

• Strong software engineering skills in one or more of: Java, TypeScript/JavaScript, Python.
• Experience with APIs, service integration, and secure-by-default engineering practices.
• Ability to work across data, AI, workflow, and platform layers as needed.
• Comfort using modern AI tooling pragmatically without confusing prototypes for production systems.
• Familiarity with application frameworks and containerization.

Non-Technical Skills

• Strong written and verbal communication across technical and non-technical audiences.
• Clear product and delivery judgment within a scoped engagement.
• Ability to coordinate and execute across stakeholders without formal authority.
• Practical tradeoff thinking under real constraints.
• Bias toward action with disciplined follow-through.

People Leadership

• Mentors junior engineers within engagements; contributes to team delivery quality and knowledge sharing.
