Mission Bridge the gap between emerging AI capabilities and the complex world of Investment Management. You will partner with Product Owners and Engineering teams to identify, prototype, and scale GenAI solutions that optimize

ETF operations, trading workflows, and software delivery (SDLC).

Core Priorities

Discovery & Strategy:

Surface high-value AI use cases across investment data workflows and prioritize them based on business impact and feasibility.

Rapid Prototyping:

Lead “Idea-to-POC” initiatives. You’ll build functional demonstrations using GenAI frameworks and cloud services (AWS) to prove value before full-scale engineering.

Operational Alpha:

Identify ways to use AI to sharpen investment decision‑making and automate manual back‑office processes.

AI-Enabled Engineering:

Drive the adoption of AI‑assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot) to accelerate the SDLC while maintaining security and risk standards.

Qualifications

Experience:

5–8+ years in professional tech/strategy, with at least 2–3 years focused specifically on AI, GenAI, or advanced automation.

Domain:

A strong background in

Investment Management, ETFs, or Trading

environments is essential. You understand how financial data moves.

The “Builder” Mindset:

Hands‑on experience with LLMs, GenAI frameworks, and cloud‑based AI services (AWS preferred).

The “Consultant” Skillset:

Ability to influence stakeholders without direct authority and translate “AI hype” into structured, data‑backed business cases.

Nice‑to‑Haves

Experience in highly regulated environments (Model Risk, Compliance, Governance).

Familiarity with AI‑assisted developer tools like Claude Code or agentic workflow platforms.
