        Lead, Tech (Gen AI Specialist) – Core Tech

        Front Office Tech
        Hyderabad or Bengaluru

        We are seeking a highly skilled GenAI Developer to join our Risk Portfolio Technology team based in Hyderabad or Bengaluru. Portfolio Risk Technology team builds and maintains software systems and data infrastructure used to measure, monitor, and manage investment risk across portfolios. The ideal candidate will design, develop, and deploy generative AI–powered solutions that drive innovation across risk analytics, data platforms, and workflow automation. This role sits at the intersection of large language models (LLMs), system design, and applied quantitative finance helping us build scalable, secure, and domain-adapted AI systems.

        What you’ll do day-to-day

        In this role, you will test and integrate LLMs and other foundation models for domain-specific applications (portfolio risk analytics, workflow orchestration and automation, scenario modeling). You will implement RAG (retrieval-augmented generation), tool-use pipelines, MCP components and orchestration layers for end-to-end AI workflows. You will build APIs, data pipelines, and microservices to support on-demand, API-driven access to curated datasets for diverse analytics and AI workloads. You will develop scalable solutions for multi-domain data ingestion, knowledge graphs, and prompt management. Additionally, you will collaborate with quants, risk analysts, and engineers to embed GenAI into systems such as scenario analysis, stress testing, and internal productivity tools. You will also prototype domain-specific interpreters and agentic systems that interact with internal/external tools.

        Who we’re looking for

        Basic qualifications:

        • Excellent programming proficiency in Python or equivalent languages
        • Deep understanding of Large Language Models (LLMs), including evaluation and prompting techniques
        • Hands-on experience with RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), vector databases (e.g., FAISS, Milvus, Pinecone), and tool orchestration frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LlamaIndex, MCP)
        • Familiarity with embedding generation, context management, and LLM-driven orchestration
        • Robust problem-solving skills with the ability to translate technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders
        • A collaborative mindset for working across quant, risk, and technology teams

        Preferred qualifications:

        • Experience building APIs, microservices, and data pipelines in production environments and good grasp of software design principles and modular architecture
        • Understanding of portfolio risk analytics, stress testing, or scenario modeling
        • Experience building agentic systems, domain interpreters, or AI-driven automation frameworks along with semantic search or knowledge retrieval systems at scale

        Candidates with relevant experience looking to restart their careers after a break are encouraged to apply for this position.
