We are seeking a highly skilled Full Stack Senior Software Engineer to design and implement secure, scalable, cloud-native software solutions that power next-generation financial applications. In this role, you will contribute hands-on development while supporting architecture and design decisions across modern web applications, APIs, and distributed services.

If you are passionate about exploring new technologies and have a demonstrated track record of delivering innovative features and products, we would like to hear from you. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams, including Product, Architecture, UX, DevOps, and Security, to design, develop, and integrate AI-enabled capabilities such as intelligent automation, LLM-powered services, RAG-based solutions, and API-driven AI integrations. You will help translate emerging ideas into reliable, production-ready systems that deliver measurable business value.

This position offers the opportunity to work with a talented team while operating autonomously with minimal supervision. A strong background in modern software development, cloud platforms, and agile methodologies is essential.

  • Design, develop, and integrate AI-powered capabilities, including LLM integrations, RAG, agentic workflows, and intelligent automation, using platforms such as Azure OpenAI.
  • Implement and maintain AI orchestration and inference pipelines, ensuring performance, cost efficiency, observability, and responsible usage.
  • Apply software engineering best practices (testing, monitoring, CI/CD, observability, secure SDLC) to production systems, including AI-driven applications.
  • Evaluate and prototype emerging AI tools and frameworks; leverage AI-assisted development tools to accelerate design, coding, testing, and code review.
  • Ensure data privacy, security, governance, and compliance when building and deploying AI-enabled functionality.
  • Independently define and prioritize goals and tasks in a fast-paced agile product environment with small, focused teams.
  • Collaborate with Solution Architects and stakeholders to align on design plans, troubleshoot production issues, and drive durable solutions.
  • Mentor engineers on software engineering best practices, cloud-native architecture, and AI integration patterns.
  • Propose solutions to complex problems, build consensus among the team, and influence technical direction.

What You'll Bring:

  • 5+ years of software development experience using Python and building cloud-native applications in Azure (AWS experience also considered).
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent combination of education and experience.
  • Experience developing modern web applications with React and JavaScript/TypeScript.
  • Strong understanding of object-oriented programming, software design patterns, and application architecture.
  • Experience designing and consuming REST APIs.
  • Experience working with relational databases (PostgreSQL, SQL Server, MySQL).
  • Experience conducting code reviews and mentoring other engineers.
  • Experience working in Agile development environments.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD, DevOps, and modern software development best practices.
  • Experience integrating AI capabilities into applications, including Azure OpenAI, LLMs, RAG, or vector databases.
  • Experience with Docker and Kubernetes preferred.
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate across technical and business teams.
  • Familiar with Ruby on Rails or willing to learn it.
  • Experience with event-driven architecture and messaging platforms.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
