This role exists because we are expanding AI-assisted development across our engineering teams. You will use AI coding tools and agents every day, help shape how we use them, and be accountable for what they produce. We want engineers with sharp analytical skills who can break ambiguous features into well-scoped work, review generated code critically, and ship secure, tested software for regulated financial institutions.

• Strong command of design patterns and when not to use them.
• Practical experience with the testing pyramid and writing maintainable automated tests.
• Working knowledge of OWASP Top 10 and secure development practices.
• Hands-on experience with agentic development using LLM-based coding tools.
