This Is Not Your Typical Software Engineering Job
Are you a software developer who's excited about AI and wants to do more than just experiment with chatbots? We're looking for people to help shape how intelligent AI agents are designed, built, and put to work inside a leading financial institution. This team is exploring what's possible when you combine strong software engineering with AI agents that can reason through tasks, use tools, interact with systems, and help solve real business problems. You'll have a voice in defining requirements, evaluating emerging technologies, and turning ambitious ideas into working solutions.
The AI landscape is evolving quickly, and this team is right in the middle of it. They're looking for curious, hands-on developers who love learning, enjoy solving difficult problems, and want to help define what comes next.
If you're passionate about AI and have the software development foundation to build real solutions, this is your chance to make an impact.
What You'll Be Working On
- Design and develop AI-powered applications and agentic workflows using Python and TypeScript.
- Build backend services and integrations using Node.js and modern development frameworks.
- Help define requirements and translate business opportunities into practical AI solutions.
- Explore how AI agents can use tools, access information, coordinate tasks, and automate complex workflows.
- Evaluate AI models, SDKs, and development approaches as the team determines its technology stack.
- Work with cloud-based AI services, potentially including OpenAI technologies and relevant cloud SDKs.
- Build and support containerized applications using Docker and Kubernetes.
- Use Terraform and infrastructure-as-code practices to support scalable, repeatable environments.
- Collaborate with engineers and business stakeholders to prototype ideas, test assumptions, and bring solutions into production.
- Help establish best practices for testing, reliability, security, and responsible AI implementation.
- Stay current with new developments in agentic AI, LLMs, and AI engineering, bringing fresh ideas to the team.
What We're Looking For
- 1-2+ years of professional software development experience with a strong engineering foundation.
- Hands-on experience with Python and TypeScript.
- Experience with Node.js and building APIs, backend services, or application integrations.
- A genuine passion for AI, particularly LLMs, AI agents, and intelligent automation.
- Interest in building AI applications that go beyond simple prompts and basic chatbot functionality.
- Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform, or experience working with containerized applications and modern infrastructure.
- Willingness to explore evolving AI tooling, SDKs, and frameworks as the team's architecture takes shape.
- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to turn loosely defined ideas into working software.
- Curiosity, initiative, and a willingness to experiment, learn, and iterate.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to work closely with both technical and business teams.
Experience with agent frameworks, LLM integrations, tool calling, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), or AI-powered automation is a plus. You don't need to have worked with every emerging AI framework, but you should be excited to learn and build.
Why This Opportunity Is Different
Help define the future instead of inheriting someone else's playbook.
You'll be joining a team at a financial institution that's actively exploring how agentic AI can change the way work gets done. The specific AI tooling is still being evaluated, which means there's room to contribute ideas, experiment with approaches, and help shape the technical direction. This is an opportunity for a developer who wants to combine solid software engineering with one of the most exciting areas in technology. You'll get to work across application development, AI integration, cloud infrastructure, and requirements definition while helping turn new possibilities into practical solutions.
We're looking for builders, not just AI enthusiasts. If you love Python and TypeScript, enjoy figuring out how things work, and can't stop thinking about what AI agents could do next, we'd love to connect.
