Support & Governance: Finance, Risk & Controls, and Regulatory/Transaction Reporting.

Technical Fluency: Solid knowledge of Python and common ML/Data libraries (e.g., pandas, LangChain) as well as SQL for handling massive, high-velocity transactional datasets.
Communication: Strong presentation skills to both internal and external stakeholders, from technical whiteboarding with IT to formal demos for Banking Directors.
Degree: Bachelor’s Degree required; Master's Degree in Finance, Computer Science, Economics, or Mathematics preferred.
NICE TO HAVE
Agentic Systems: Hands-on experience building systems using LLM orchestration and function calling within highly regulated "Data Sovereignty" environments.
