Job Description

What is the Opportunity?

An enterprise AI platform that orchestrates knowledge, governance, and multi-step agent workflows is only as valuable as the experiences built on top of it. You will design and build those experiences: the agentic capabilities/skills, integrations, and conversational interaction patterns that turn platform infrastructure into productivity gains practitioners can see and trust. As organizations move from AI assistants to semi-autonomous and autonomous agents, the experiences you deliver will determine whether teams adopt AI or walk away from it.

Candidates best suited bring full-stack engineering depth, empathy for how humans interact with AI, and the ability to design workflows that earn trust within a regulated financial services environment.

What will you do?

• Design and develop human-agent interaction patterns atop the platform, applying principles of progressive autonomy, intent previews, and explainable rationale so practitioners stay in control while the AI manages technical complexity.
• Build full-stack AI-driven capabilities that leverage the platform orchestration layer to automate complex workflows, calibrating the right level of human-AI coordination for each task, whether collaborative, automated, or discretely assisted.
• Design trust and transparency mechanisms including confidence signals, action audit trails, and escalation pathways that give users visibility into what the AI is doing and why.
• Build enterprise integrations atop the platform that connect AI capabilities to corporate platforms including project management, collaboration, source control, and communication tools.
• Shape onboarding, progressive disclosure, and feedback patterns that make the platform accessible and trustworthy for diverse user personas across varying levels of AI familiarity.
• Design and implement the capability development lifecycle from authoring and testing through quality validation and deployment, enabling a scalable catalog of platform-powered workflows.
• Create extensibility models that allow teams and community contributors to author, share, and deploy custom capabilities atop the platform.
• Partner with platform engineering to ensure capabilities and integrations align with the orchestration, governance, and distribution infrastructure.

What do you need to succeed?

Must Have

• Full-stack Python and/or TypeScript engineering background with experience building production-grade user-facing tools and integrations.
• UX design sensibility with the ability to translate complex agentic workflows into simple, accessible interaction patterns for diverse user personas.
• Understanding of human-agent interaction principles including trust calibration, progressive autonomy, transparency, and user control in AI-driven experiences.
• Familiarity with AI/LLM-powered tools, prompt engineering, or agentic AI development patterns.
• Experience building integrations with enterprise APIs (REST, GraphQL, SOAP) and corporate systems.
• Ability to work across cross-functional teams including solution architects, business analysts, and project managers.

Nice to Have

• Experience designing for AI-powered products such as copilots, agents, or intelligent workflow tools where user trust and transparency are central to the experience.
• Background in design systems, component architecture, or building AI-consumable design patterns.
• Experience in financial services technology or other regulated industries with governance and compliance requirements.
• Familiarity with developer experience tooling, internal developer platforms, or plugin ecosystems.

What's in it for you?

• A comprehensive Total Rewards Program including bonuses and flexible benefits, competitive compensation, commissions, and stock where applicable.
• Leaders who support your development through coaching and managing opportunities.
• Ability to make a difference and lasting impact.
• Work in a dynamic, collaborative, progressive, and high-performing team.
• A world-class training program in financial services.
• Flexible work/life balance options.
• Opportunities to do challenging work.
