  • Manage governed data-serving pipelines, schema design, and caching strategies (API query and semantic caching) to ensure high performance and data fallback reliability
  • Integrate AI assistants via internal LLM gateways and build modular skills & services grounded in Finance context
  • Drive CI/CD release automation via GitLab pipelines while maintaining end-to-end production operations, monitoring, incident response, and system reliability
Who You Are (Success Profile)

  • You are driven by technical innovation and energized by leveraging modern AI technologies to solve complex platform challenges.
  • You are an active problem-solver who enjoys navigating complex data environments to build reliable, high-impact solutions.
  • You act like an owner by balancing strategic architectural vision with hands-on technical execution.

  • 5–8 years building and operating production systems across data, backend, and platform engineering
  • Strong Python (FastAPI/services, pipelines) and SQL (Snowflake/PostgreSQL) expertise
  • Strong AWS fundamentals (VPC/IAM/EC2, security basics) and experience with CI/CD deployment pipelines
  • Experience with authentication and SSO patterns
  • Experience with containerization (Docker) and modern deployment practices
What Will Make You Stand Out (Preferred Qualifications)
  • Hands-on experience with LLM integrations, including OpenAI-compatible APIs, RAG architectures, semantic caching, and prompt/context management
  • Demonstrate a proven ability to leverage AI technologies and workflows to drive measurable operational efficiency
  • Expertise with Snowflake and dbt modeling, standards, testing, CI/CD, Redis caching patterns, and observability best practices
