You'll partner with stakeholders to shape what gets built, prototype rapidly to validate direction, and harden the result into systems we operate with confidence. This is a generalist role for engineers who like build and can orchestrate AI agents across the SDLC.</p> <p>We operate in a regulated capital-markets environment, so the bar for quality, security, and operational rigour is high.</p></div></div><div style="padding:10.0px 0.0px;border:1.0px solid transparent"><div style="font-size:16.0px;word-wrap:break-word"><H2 style="font-size:1.0em;margin:0.0px"><u><b>Job Responsibilities</b></u></H2> </div><div><ul> <li>Own initiatives end-to-end: clarify and extend requirements with stakeholders, propose what to build, and see it through release and operation</li> <li>Move from idea to working prototype in days, then evolve prototypes into production systems that handle edge cases, scale, and adversarial conditions</li> <li>Apply AI agentically across the full SDLC, and contribute back to our internal agentic ecosystem: the workflows and tools the rest of the team relies on</li> <li>Define release readiness: test strategy, rollout plans, observability, runbooks, and treat security, maintainability, and documentation as first-class concerns</li> <li>Design and integrate distributed systems where they matter: messaging (e.g. Kafka), orchestration (e.g. Kubernetes), performance-sensitive protocols (e.g. Aeron, gRPC, Protobuf), etc</li> </ul></div></div><div style="padding:10.0px 0.0px;border:1.0px solid transparent"><div style="font-size:16.0px;word-wrap:break-word"><H2 style="font-size:1.0em;margin:0.0px"><u><b>Job Requirements</b></u></H2> </div><div><ul> <li>5+ years of professional software engineering, with a clear track record of taking work from idea to production and owning it there</li> <li>AI-native ways of working: real experience orchestrating coding agents and composing agentic workflows across specification, build, test, deploy, and operation</li> <li>Fluency in at least two modern languages (e.g. Java, Kotlin, TypeScript, Python, Rust) and willingness to learn whatever a problem demands</li> <li>Solid foundations in distributed systems, APIs, and messaging, with judgement about when sophistication is warranted</li> <li>Production mindset across testing, observability, security, and CI/CD</li> <li>Product instinct: comfortable shaping scope rather than waiting for a complete spec</li> <li>Comfort in complex, regulated environments</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><strong>Nice to Have</strong></p> <ul> <li>Familiarity with the FIX protocol or capital-markets domain</li> <li>Experience building internal developer tools, agent frameworks, or platform tooling</li> <li>Front-end experience to support end-to-end prototyping</li> </ul></div></div></div>
