• Experience building and supporting distributed or multi-tier systems
• Solid understanding of object-oriented design and software engineering fundamentals
• Ability to work in execution-focused environments with evolving priorities
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field (or equivalent experience)

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting risk, compliance, controls, audit, or other regulated systems
• Exposure to AI-enabled applications; experience with LLMs is a plus but not required
• Comfort learning and applying new technologies quickly
• Experience across the full software development lifecycle, including coding, testing, and operations
• Strong ownership mindset with a bias toward action and delivery

Why Join This Contract
