• Enterprise Integration: Experience integrating automated AI systems with core transactional platforms and enterprise applications.
• Guardrails & Security: Experience designing permissioning, guardrails, and human oversight for systems taking action in regulated environments.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience in FinTech, banking, or other high-volume transactional environments.
• Recognized cloud, security, or AI engineering certifications.
• Postgraduate qualification (Master's or Ph.D.) in a technical discipline (Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, or a related field).
