We're hiring Senior Software Engineers to join our AI-native engineering team. You'll design, build, and operate production AI systems - including AI platform capabilities, agentic workflow infrastructure, and LLM-powered features that serve institutional financial clients. This is a hands-on individual contributor role for engineers who are deeply fluent in AI-native development and want to work at the intersection of applied AI and backend systems engineering.
Information Security Responsibilities
- Promote and enforce awareness of key information security practices, including acceptable use of information assets, malware protection, and password security protocols
- Identify, assess, and report security risks, focusing on how these risks impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information assets
- Understand and evaluate how data is stored, processed, or transmitted, ensuring compliance with data privacy and protection standards (GDPR, CCPA, etc.)
- Ensure data protection measures are integrated throughout the information lifecycle to safeguard sensitive information
