• Architect, build, and deploy resilient, distributed backend services and high-performance APIs across Kubernetes-orchestrated infrastructure.
• Continuously research, benchmark, and integrate emerging LLM/GenAI paradigms, libraries, and frameworks to elevate platform capabilities and engineering velocity.
• Partner with quantitative analysts, product owners, risk managers, and compliance teams to roll out features across platforms governing hundreds of risk controls.
• Deliver clean, modular, and maintainable software backed by comprehensive unit testing, rigorous peer code reviews, and automated CI/CD pipelines.
• Author and maintain architectural blueprints, system diagrams, and technical documentation to foster reliability and team-wide technical excellence.

Required Qualifications & Skills

• 4+ years of professional experience in Python for backend development, with the ability to design and build scalable, high-performance systems.
• Hands-on experience applying Generative AI foundational models in production environments, with demonstrated expertise in prompt engineering and token usage optimization.
• Practical knowledge of Kubernetes for deploying and operating scalable backend platforms and engineering high-performance APIs.
• Solid command of software engineering fundamentals, including system design, data structures, and algorithms.
• Ability to work independently, manage competing priorities, and deliver across multiple workstreams without close direction.
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience.

Beneficial Skills & Qualifications

• Exposure to processing and deriving insights from large volumes of unstructured or conversational data.
• Preferred experience working in financial services or banking, with familiarity with trading workflows, market data, or financial risk concepts.
