  • Partner closely with analysts and leadership to explore AI-driven investment insights and potential alpha opportunities
  • Continuously evaluate and implement emerging AI technologies

What you'll need to succeed

  • Hands-on full-stack development (APIs, backend systems, simple frontends)
  • Experience with LLM infrastructure and cloud platforms (deployment, scaling, inference, cost optimisation)
  • Solid data engineering skills, particularly transforming unstructured data into structured datasets
  • Understanding of data security, governance, and compliance principles
