• Apply generative AI and large language models to document processing, classification, and AI-assisted reporting, implementing validation and audit controls.
• Own solutions end-to-end: design, deployment, monitoring, documentation, and production support.
• Troubleshoot production issues, perform root-cause analysis, and improve reliability, performance, and recoverability.
• Develop automated tests, conduct code reviews, and enforce CI/CD best practices.
• Implement logging, monitoring, and alerting for unattended automations.
• Collaborate with compliance, legal, trading operations, tax, treasury, finance, and HR to validate business logic and communicate technical trade-offs.
• Translate compliance and regulatory requirements into reliable, auditable technical solutions.
• Stay current with emerging automation and AI technologies and evaluate their applicability.

• 2-5 years of professional software-development experience with a solid grasp of the SDLC.
• Strong proficiency in Python and a modern web framework such as Django.
• Experience designing, building, and consuming REST APIs.
• Proficient SQL skills with experience in relational databases like SQL Server.
• Working knowledge of a modern JavaScript framework (e.g., React) for UI development.
• Experience with browser-automation/RPA tools and Unix shell scripting.
• Hands-on experience integrating generative AI or LLM APIs into production applications.
• Familiarity with Git, CI/CD pipelines, and DevOps practices.
• Excellent communication skills and a self-directed, intellectually curious mindset.
