Job Responsibility:

Design, implement, and productionize reliable AI workflows to augment the Studio trading platform

Create reusable libraries, SDKs and tooling to enable AI development throughout the firm
Stay current on the latest in applied AI. Read papers, evaluate new models, test out new tools
Participate in code review and architecture design, manage deployments, and support and contribute to the success of the overall Studio platform

Requirements:

At least 7+ years of strong proficiency in enterprise Java
Experience designing and deploying AI/ML or LLM-backed systems in production
Familiarity with LLM tooling and patterns: (e.g. tool calling, RAG pipelines and knowledge bases, evals, cost/latency tradeoffs, basic red-teaming)
Experience in supporting and running systems in a production environment
Comfortable working in a dynamic environment, partnering with cross-functional teams, and moving from prototype to reliable production

Nice to have:

Python is a plus for proofs-of-concept, evaluation and analysis
Background in financial services or trading systems, genuine interest in AI
