Architect and build high-performance services in Python and/or Node.js. Design systems for extreme speed, reliability, and real-time data processing under high traffic conditions. Design and maintain MCP servers that give AI agents structured, secure access to internal banking systems, external APIs, databases, and developer tools making Agentic platform composable and extensible by design. Build intuitive React interfaces that expose AI capabilities like chat interfaces, agentic dashboards, real-time streaming UIs, and internal tooling. Own state management patterns and component architecture at scale. Partner with product managers, business stakeholders, compliance, and engineering teams to translate vision into scalable technical requirements and roadmaps. Design and ensure the platform meets enterprise-grade security and financial regulatory standards. Actively upskill fellow engineers on full-stack best practices, LLM integration patterns, and production of AI systems. Help define coding standards and contribute to a culture of engineering excellence. Evaluate emerging models, frameworks, and tooling.
