Build AI-integrated backend systems: Design and ship production-grade services that connect AI models (Claude, OpenAI, or open-source equivalents) to our compliance workflows, handling prompting, output parsing, and model behaviour in a real regulated-industry context
Own service architecture end-to-end: Co-own design, reliability, and scalability from day one, no PM layer between you and the technical decisions that shape the product
Automate AML/AFC compliance operations: Translate compliance agent workflows into software, from EDD automation to customer onboarding acceleration, with direct feedback from the ops teams you're helping
Drive continuous improvement: From production monitoring to post-mortems, you track impact, flag regressions, and improve what's in your scope with your peers and manager
Shape the technical direction: In a team of 5, every engineer carries architectural weight. You'll lead design discussions, anticipate risks, and contribute to how the platform evolves

AI integration in production: You've shipped systems where AI (Claude, OpenAI, or open-source) is a core functional component, not a coding assistant, but the product itself.
Strong backend foundation: Solid experience with large-scale web application architecture and real production constraints + Ideally experience in Python.
Sound architectural judgment: You make confident system design decisions independently and can articulate the trade-offs.
Product instinct without a PM: You're comfortable owning the full cycle: scoping, prioritizing, shipping, success metrics
