• Hands‑on AI development using modern tools and IDEs (e.g., Windsurf) and experience integrating AI into product workflows.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder influence; ability to simplify complexity, make evidence-based decisions and drive continuous improvement.
• Corporate Actions domain experience is strongly preferred.
• Groovy/Spock and JavaScript/TypeScript with Angular for full-stack contexts preferred
• Financial services background with risk and controls in regulated environments preferred
