Responsibilities

  • Sit with business users to understand their workflows, data, and daily challenges.
  • Partner with AI Enablement Partners on escalated demand that business teams and citizen developers cannot deliver.
  • Set realistic expectations regarding project feasibility and outcomes.
  • Design, build, and productionize bespoke, high-complexity AI solutions.
  • Prototype solutions with business users and harden successful prototypes into production.
  • Own architecture and design decisions, ensuring solutions are secure, scalable, and aligned with the enterprise core stack.
  • Guide solutions through evaluation, observability, and AI governance checkpoints, and maintain them post-launch.
  • Build advanced investment capability on Nexus and make it available firm-wide.
  • Collaborate with quantitative researchers and investment teams to scale models and signals.
  • Implement validation, monitoring, and reproducibility for signal output.
  • Source data via APIs, vendor feeds, and enterprise systems, building ingestion pipelines.
  • Curate raw data into business-focused views, managing lineage, quality, and freshness.
  • Expose data and capability through Accio and Nexus.
  • Build reusable components and share patterns with AI Architecture and AI Engineering.
  • Co-build enterprise core-stack deliverables with Percepta and AI Engineering.
  • Collaborate with AI Security and AI Governance Implementation to meet standards.
  • Stay current with LLM capabilities, agent patterns, and AI tooling, integrating useful advancements.

Requirements

  • Minimum of four years in a technical, business-facing engineering role (e.g., forward deployed engineering, solutions engineering, consulting-side software engineering, or embedded engineering).
  • Strong Python and SQL skills with a proven track record of shipping production applications.
  • Production experience with LLMs, including prompt and context engineering, agent development, evaluation, and deployment.
  • Hands-on experience building agentic capability (MCP servers, tools, skills, or connectors) for consumption by other systems and agents.
  • Experience building data pipelines from APIs and enterprise systems, and modeling raw data into curated, business-facing views.
  • Working knowledge of a major cloud platform (preferably Azure), including CI/CD, containers, and infrastructure as code.
  • Excellent stakeholder management skills, capable of running discovery sessions and implementing solutions.
  • High agency, comfort with ambiguity, and a genuine interest in business problems.
  • Experience in a regulated environment where governance, compliance, and data sensitivity are critical.
  • Willingness to adhere to the firm's Investment Advisory Code of Ethics and regulatory obligations.
