Full Stack engineer (AI)

Seeking a Full Stack engineer who can bring in AI thought leadership to the team. 
 
Top Skills Required:
  • Hands-on experience with AI-assisted coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, or similar), with the ability to guide the team on best practices and avoid common pitfalls
  • Strong Java engineering background with microservices architecture
  • AWS cloud experience (Azure is a plus)
Industry Experience:
  • No expectations on industry experience, but Asset Management or Financial Services is nice to have
 
Key Responsibilities
  • Design, develop, and maintain Java-based backend services and APIs using Spring Boot within a DevOps delivery model on AWS
  • Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, and containerized deployments in AWS (ECS, Lambda, CloudFormation, or equivalent)
  • Contribute to front-end development where needed, particularly React-based interfaces for internal tools and dashboards
  • Implement performant, thread-safe solutions leveraging Java concurrency and multithreading patterns
  • Serve as the team's AI SDLC practitioner - bring hands-on experience with AI coding assistants (Claude, GitHub Copilot) to establish best practices, guardrails, and effective workflows
  • Share lessons learned from real-world AI tool usage  - where assistants excel, where they hallucinate or produce brittle code, and how to structure prompts, skill files, and integrations for reliable output
  • Support the team's adoption of Microsoft Foundry as the firm's AI platform, contributing to integration patterns and experimentation
Required Qualifications
  • 5+ years of professional Java development with strong command of multithreading, concurrency, and design patterns
  • Hands-on experience with Spring Boot for microservices and API development
  • Working experience in a DevOps model on AWS - CI/CD, containerization, infrastructure automation
  • Demonstrated, practical experience using AI coding assistants (GitHub Copilot, Claude, Cursor, or similar) in real delivery work - not just awareness, but an informed opinion on what works and what doesn't
  • Understanding of AI-augmented SDLC practices including prompt engineering for code generation, managing skill files, knowledge files, AI-assisted code review, test generation, and documentation automation
  • Familiarity with concepts such as skill files, MCP integrations, and IDE-level AI tooling configuration
Preferred Qualifications
  • Front-end experience with React (component development, state management, API integration)
  • Exposure to Microsoft Foundry or Azure AI services
  • Familiarity with asset management domain concepts (portfolios, benchmarks, performance data, instrument types) - not required, but useful context
  • Experience message queues, or event-driven architectures
  • Familiarity with Python for scripting or data pipeline support
What We Value
  • A builder who has already experimented, failed, and iterated with AI coding tools — and can fast-track the team past common pitfalls
  • Strong engineering fundamentals paired with curiosity about how AI is reshaping how we write, test, and ship code
  • Clear communicator who can translate technical AI tooling decisions into practical team guidance
  • Ownership mentality with a bias toward shipping and continuous improvement
