## About the Role

 * Practical experience applying AI: LLM APIs for automation or analysis, and thoughtful use of AI coding assistants with human review
 * Clear written and verbal communication with non-engineers: operations, accounting, settlements, and middle office staff
 * Ability to mentor junior and mid-level developers and make sound design decisions independently

Nice to Have:

 * Trade lifecycle domain knowledge for futures and options: trade capture, allocations, give-ups, clearing, settlements, reconciliation, commissions and fees, margin, PnL
 * Experience with trading and position platforms (TPOS or similar), broker and clearer file formats, SFTP, and FIX/drop-copy ingestion
 * Reconciliation and data quality frameworks, and building audit trails
 * Experience moving legacy jobs and servers onto a cleaner architecture without breaking daily operations
 * DevOps and SRE foundation: Docker, infrastructure as code, observability (Prometheus, Grafana, structured logging)
