- Application Modernization: Support a 50/50 mix of maintaining existing applications and building or migrating to new platforms to replace legacy systems; onboard to 1–2 applications initially and expand coverage over time.
- System Monitoring & Performance: Proactively monitor applications and infrastructure using tools such as Splunk and AppDynamics; identify bottlenecks and reliability risks before they impact users.
- Cross-Program Engineering Support: Rotate across programs as priorities shift, supporting both new initiatives and cleanup of older applications in Al’s engineering space.
- Collaboration & Delivery: Work closely with engineering, infrastructure, and security teams in an Agile environment to deliver secure, resilient, and continuously improving systems.
Qualifications:

- Experience with SQL/Sybase databases and messaging technologies (Kafka, Hazelcast)
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field (or equivalent experience)
Preferred Experience:
- Financial services or securities industry background
- Exposure to AWS, Azure, or S3 (helpful, though the environment is primarily on-prem/private cloud)
