About The Opportunity MOGEL RPO is partnering with our client , a leading financial analytics and technology organization, to hire a Staff Software Engineer to build next-generation AI-powered workflows in a high-impact, client-facing environment.

This is a hands-on, senior IC role focused on applying LLMs and agentic AI to real-world business processes. You’ll work closely with domain experts to transform complex workflows into AI-driven systems with Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) controls—enhancing efficiency while preserving critical human judgment.

Key Responsibilities

• Build agentic AI systems with clear human review and approval steps
• Develop RAG pipelines and vector-based retrieval systems
• Design and deploy backend services (Python / APIs) on AWS
• Work with Lambda, APIs, and databases (Postgres, DynamoDB, etc.)
• Containerize and deploy services using Docker
• Build simple React interfaces for human review and approvals
• Monitor AI systems, improve performance, and iterate in production
• Focus on real adoption and measurable impact, not just delivery

What We’re Looking For

• 8–12 years of software engineering experience
• Strong backend development skills (Python, Java, or similar)
• Experience working with non-technical stakeholders or domain experts
• Exposure to LLMs / AI systems in production (RAG, prompt engineering, etc.)
• Experience with AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, S3, IAM)
• Familiarity with workflow automation tools (N8N, UiPath, etc.) is a plus
• Basic knowledge of React for building internal tools
• Comfortable working in ambiguous, evolving problem spaces

Nice to Have

• Experience in financial services, consulting, or complex workflows
• Exposure to vector databases / embeddings / AI pipelines
• Experience building human-in-the-loop systems

What Success Looks Like

• AI solutions are actively used by teams and drive efficiency
• Workflows become faster without compromising accuracy or control
• Systems balance automation with human judgment

Why Join

• Work on cutting-edge AI (LLMs + agentic workflows)
• High visibility role with direct impact on business outcomes
• Strong collaboration with domain experts and leadership
• Opportunity to shape how AI is applied in real-world workflows
