Responsibilities of the Role:

• AI‑accelerated engineering: institutionalize daily use of AI tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT, AWS Bedrock) for coding, tests, documentation, and prototyping; set review standards for AI‑generated code.
• Design, build, and maintain data engineering workflows and platform services supporting the Vision platform and model delivery ecosystem.
• Develop and extend platform components responsible for data ingestion, transformation, validation, and routing across internal and external systems.
• Build robust Python-based services, APIs, and microservices supporting portfolio analytics, optimization workflows, and data pipelines.
• Design and optimize SQL-based data processing (PostgreSQL, SQL Server), including complex queries, performance tuning, and large-scale ETL workflows.
• Implement and support distributed, event-driven architectures (e.g., Kafka, asynchronous workflows) for scalable platform execution.
• Develop and maintain cloud-native applications on AWS (e.g., Lambda, S3, ECS/EKS, Step Functions, Aurora).
• Design and operate CI/CD pipelines and deployment processes to ensure reliable and repeatable releases.
• Ensure data quality, auditability, and observability through logging, monitoring, lineage tracking, and validation frameworks.
• Collaborate closely with investment teams to translate portfolio construction, risk, and analytics requirements into scalable technical solutions.
• Continuously improve the platform through modern engineering practices, including testing, performance optimization, and AI assisted development.
• Participate in production support and on‑call rotation as needed.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or related field.
• 3+ years of hands‑on experience in software engineering or data engineering (financial services or asset management experience preferred).
• 3+ years of Python experience, including data processing, APIs, or service-based architecture.
• 3+ years of SQL experience (PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and/or Snowflake), including performance tuning and ETL workflows.
• AI‑assisted development fluency: daily use of AI tools for coding, test generation, refactoring, documentation, and design exploration—plus the ability to evaluate/correct AI‑generated code for security, performance, and maintainability.
• Strong understanding of data engineering principles (data modeling, pipelines, validation, lineage, error handling).
• Experience with cloud-native development (AWS) and containerized environments. ,
• Familiarity with distributed systems and event-driven architecture (e.g., Kafka, asynchronous processing).
• Experience with CI/CD, DevOps practices, and automated testing.
• Exposure to portfolio analytics, risk models, or investment workflows preferred.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to operate in a fast‑paced, high-impact environment.
