Job description

YOUR IMPACT

Are you passionate about developing mission-critical, high quality software solutions, using cutting-edge technology,in a dynamic environment?

OUR IMPACT

We are The Core Engineering,a global team of more than 300 engineers and scientists whowork on the most complex, mission-critical problems.

We:

• build and operate a suite of platforms and applications that prevent, detect, and mitigate regulatory and reputational risk across the firm.
• have access to the latest technology andto massive amounts of structured and unstructured data.
• leverage modern frameworks to build responsive and intuitive front end and Big Data applications.

HOW YOU WILL FULFILL YOUR POTENTIAL

As a member of our team, you will:

• partner globally with sponsors,usersand engineering colleagues across multiple divisions to create end-to-end solutions,
• learn from experts
• leverage varioustechnologies depending on the teamincluding Java, JavaScript, TypeScript,React, APIs, GraphQL, Elastic Search,Kafka, Kubernetes
• be able to innovate and incubate new ideas
• havean opportunity to work on a broad range of problems, often dealing with large data sets,including real-time processing, messaging,workflow and UI/UX
• be involved inthe full life cycle; defining,designing, implementing, testing, deploying, and maintaining software acrossour products.

AI‑Assisted Engineering & Productivity

In addition, you will:

• Effectively use AI‑assisted software development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Devin, Claude Code, or equivalent) to improve developer productivity and reduce development cycle time.
• Apply AI tools to accelerate:
  • code generation and refactoring,
  • test creation and coverage improvement,
  • debugging, root‑cause analysis, and performance optimization.
• Use AI‑assisted reasoning to understand complex codebases, rapidly prototype solutions, and improve code quality while maintaining strong engineering standards.
• Partner with peers and reviewers to validate, harden, and productionize AI‑generated outputs, ensuring correctness, security, maintainability, and regulatory compliance.
• Identify opportunities where AI tooling can reduce manual effort, minimize rework, and support faster, higher‑quality delivery to production.

QUALIFICATIONS

A successful candidate will possess the followingattributes:

1. A Bachelor's or Master's degreein Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a similar field of study.
2. 1+ years professionalsoftware development experience
3. Expertise in Java development.
4. Experience inautomated testingandSDLC concepts.
5. The ability (and tenacity) to clearly express ideas and arguments in meetings and on paper.

Experience in some of the following is desired and can set you apart from other candidates:

• Demonstrated experience or a strong interest in leveraging AI-assisted developer tools to enhance engineering productivity and accelerate software delivery.
