Software Development Engineer III

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will turn ambiguous problems into production AI solutions that enhance our investment processes. You will bridge business teams and the AI platform, leading discovery, design, coding, and production ownership. The role combines hands-on engineering with collaboration across disciplines to set standards for responsible AI at scale. You’ll work on retrieval-augmented generation, agentic workflows, and secure, auditable systems that deliver measurable quality and impact. This is a high-ownership role in a regulated, fast-moving environment with a strong culture of integrity and belonging.
