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. It's a great opportunity for a hands-on developer who enjoys building real production solutions and working directly with business stakeholders.

What You'll Contribute

• Enhance, scale, and support existing AI and automation tools used in credit risk workflows
• Take Python proof-of-concept projects into stable, production-ready solutions
• 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
