Job Summary: 

Seeking a hands-on Senior Software Engineer to design, build, and evolve a fintech product platform built on Java-based distributed systems, while introducing AI Agent–driven capabilities in a secure, compliant, and production‑ready manner.

This role emphasizes system design ownership, architectural depth, and technical leadership, with a strong focus on transactional correctness, scalability, resilience, and the controlled, auditable use of agentic AI within regulated financial systems.

You will work closely with engineering leaders, product management, compliance, and platform teams to translate complex business and regulatory requirements into scalable, high‑quality technical solutions.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and own the architecture and delivery of core fintech product services. A focus on trade generation, execution and integration with trading partners is desirable. 
  
• Define service boundaries, data ownership, and data consistency models for high‑throughput, low‑latency distributed systems. 
  
• Architect, review, and implement Java / Spring Boot microservices with a strong focus on performance, resilience, transactional correctness, and observability. 
  
• Ensure idempotency, fault tolerance, and safe failure modes across distributed and transactional workflows. 
  
• Design and implement AI Agent–driven workflows using agentic AI frameworks (e.g., LangGraph) for product and operational use cases such as workflow automation, operational decision support, and exception or risk triage. 
  
• Architect multi‑agent orchestration with clear agent role separation, deterministic execution paths, and controlled interaction between agents and core systems. 
  
• Design and manage agent memory strategies, including short‑term or session memory, long‑term structured memory, and memory scoping, retention, and auditability. 
  
• Ensure security, compliance, and governance for AI‑driven flows, including guardrails, approval steps, traceability of agent decisions, safe fallbacks, and human‑in‑the‑loop controls. 
  
• Collaborate closely with product, engineering, platform, and compliance teams to translate business and regulatory requirements into scalable, production‑ready architectures. 
  
• Participate in design and architecture reviews, story refinement, technical documentation, and acceptance criteria definition as part of an Agile/Scrum team. 
  
• Participate in software release, deployment, and production support activities, ensuring compliance with organizational security, risk, and operational policies. 
  
• Adherence to and application of Envestnet legal, compliance, risk, business continuity and administrative policy within the role and department(s) including the timely completion of training & awareness, affirmations and testing as requested. 
  
• As part of the responsibilities for this role, you will understand and readily support Envestnet's established corporate business practices, policies, internal controls and procedures designed to create value or minimize risk.

• Solid understanding of security, observability, and production incident handling. 
  
• Ability to communicate architectural decisions and trade-offs clearly. 
  

Nice to Have:

• Experience with event driven architectures (Kafka, async messaging).
