We are seeking a senior engineer who can lead at the frontier of cloud-native financial systems and AI-driven engineering – someone who is energized by hard problems, brings deep technical credibility, and wants to define what the next generation of platforms looks like. How You Will Fulfill Your Potential
• Architect the future state.
• Lead the design and implementation of cloud-native post trade platform. Building systems that are correct, fast, and operationally excellent. Own critical systems end-to-end.  Take full ownership of production services from design through deployment and incident response. Being the person the team trusts to make the right call when it matters.
• Drive the cloud migration.  Own key workstreams in the transformation to AWS/GCP, ensuring automated reconciliation, incremental rollout, and rigorous dual-run validation. Pioneer AI-driven engineering.
• Champion the use of AI agents and AI-enabled tooling across the team –  for specification, implementation, testing, reconciliation analysis, and operational diagnostics. Help the team move from "AI-curious" to "AI-native." Raise the technical bar.  Guide architectural decisions across the polyglot codebase, review critical code, define data dependency and orchestration patterns, and mentor engineers who want to grow into senior technical leaders.
• Partner across the firm.
• Work closely with business, risk, trading, and clearing teams to translate business requirements into technology-driven automation, intelligent tooling, and measurable operational improvements. Shape infrastructure and DevOps.
• Contribute to CDK infrastructure stacks, CI/CD pipelines, container image pipelines, and multi-region deployment automation — because owning a service means owning how it gets to production.
