The Opportunity
We're looking for a Python & AI Solutions Developer to join a risk technology team supporting a large financial services organization's credit risk function. This role focuses on scaling existing automation and AI tools, building document processing pipelines, and moving proof-of-concept work into production in a highly regulated, fast-paced environment.

- Build data pipelines that process large volumes of structured and unstructured data
- Develop document ingestion and extraction workflows across PDFs, HTML, images, and spreadsheets
- Integrate large language models through APIs (OpenAI or similar) to automate repetitive manual work
- Build in exception handling, logging, and guardrails so production scripts fail safely
- Design outputs that are structured, traceable, and ready for review and governance
- Estimate LLM usage and token costs to support the business case for new tools
- Partner with business and risk stakeholders to identify automation opportunities and gather requirements
- Explain technical solutions and results clearly to non-technical audiences
Background We're Seeking
- 7 to 15 years of hands-on software or data development experience
- Strong production Python experience, including writing, deploying, and supporting scripts and pipelines in a live environment
- Experience extracting structured data from complex documents such as PDFs and HTML
- Experience working with LLMs through APIs, including prompt design, model selection, and protecting sensitive data
- Comfortable working independently in an unstructured environment with shifting priorities
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with experience working alongside business teams
- Financial services, credit risk, or audit experience is a plus but not required
- Alteryx, ETL, or Power BI experience is a plus
- Able to work onsite in New York a few days per week
