(MID LEVEL) Software Engineer Specialist

As a Software Engineer Specialist reporting to Senior Director of Software Engineering, you'll play a critical role in setting technical direction, owning architecture decisions, and enabling a new R&D team to take responsible AI solutions from concept to production in global financial markets.

• Contribute to cross-functional initiatives spanning testing, deployment, observability, operability, and security, requirement analysis and solution design.
• Promote the adoption of AI-assisted tooling across products and the software development lifecycle, and take on Agile process roles (e.g., Scrum Master or Product Owner) as needed to support team delivery.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• Several years of experience in full-stack software engineering, with Java expertise applying OOP and SOLID principles within frameworks such as Spring.

• Proficiency with Git workflows, Linux command-line usage, and an understanding of containerization using Docker or Podman.
• Practical experience using AI-assisted tools in a real development workflow.
