We are building the most consequential AI solutions in Funds Transfer Pricing and Financial Hedging platforms, and we are looking for a Senior AI Engineer to design & develop Agentic AI solutions for these domains.
The ideal candidate is visionary engineer, passionate about architecting and building sophisticated AI agents from concept to production.
In this position, you will be responsible for creating agentic solutions that automate complex workflows, enhance critical decision-making, and deliver scalable, cutting-edge technology at a global scale.
Responsibilities:
Advanced Agent and Model Development
-
Design and orchestrate complex multi-agent systems where autonomous agents collaborate, coordinate, negotiate, and delegate tasks to solve business problems that exceed the capabilities of a single agent.
-
Design and implement advanced planning and reasoning capabilities using techniques such as knowledge graphs for relationship-aware reasoning, rule-based and symbolic reasoning for deterministic business decisions, and planning/search algorithms to execute complex multi-step workflows reliably and efficiently.
-
Develop resilient and adaptive agent architectures with mechanisms for feedback-driven improvement, error recovery, self-correction, and dynamic replanning to enhance reliability, accuracy, and task completion rates.
-
Integrate large language models (LLMs), predictive models, and reasoning frameworks to expand agent capabilities, improve decision quality, and support complex business workflows.
-
Design and optimize Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures, including embedding strategies, vector databases, retrieval pipelines, reranking, and context management to maximize response accuracy and relevance.
-
Design and develop APIs, tools, and microservices that enable seamless integration of AI capabilities with enterprise applications, databases, and business platforms.
Performance and Optimization
- Optimize AI systems for low latency and high throughput. Implement advanced techniques such as response streaming and caching, while ensuring cost-effectiveness through strategic model selection and rigorous token usage optimization.
