Shape the Future of Institutional Sales

We are seeking a highly entrepreneurial Front Office Applied AI Engineer to sit directly with our Equities and Fixed Income Sales teams and transform how Sales operates through AI, automation, analytics, and workflow innovation.

This is not a strategy role or a back-office technology role.

We are looking for a builder who can work directly with salespeople, identify opportunities, rapidly prototype solutions, deploy them into production, and continuously improve them based on user feedback.

The successful candidate will develop AI agents, copilots, CRM workflows, analytics applications, and productivity tools that improve client engagement, sales effectiveness, cross-sell opportunities, and management insight.

  • Sitting beside a salesperson discussing client coverage challenges.

  • Building AI agents and workflows in Python.

  • Writing complex SQL and data pipelines.

  • Designing dashboards and analytics.

  • Integrating enterprise systems and APIs.

  • Monitoring and improving AI performance in production.

  • Explaining technical concepts to senior business leaders.

  • Taking a solution from idea to production deployment.

  • Automate recurring reporting and management information workflows.

Engineer for Production

  • Design and build production-grade applications, APIs, workflows, and data products.

  • Apply modern software engineering practices including testing, source control, CI/CD, monitoring, documentation, and release management.

  • Partner with Technology, Data, Compliance, and Risk teams to deploy scalable and supportable solutions.

Build Responsible AI

  • Implement evaluation and monitoring frameworks for AI applications.

  • Measure and improve quality, accuracy, hallucination risk, latency, cost, adoption, and user feedback.

  • Ensure solutions are controlled, auditable, permissioned, and compliant.

  • Build AI workflows that respect data entitlements, access controls, and governance requirements.


Required Skills

  • Expert Python and strong SQL skills.
