Senior Associate, Software Engineer, AI

Join our technology team and you will have an opportunity to work in a collaborative and dynamic environment. We are responsible for building AI-powered applications that support our business operations. The team works closely with application, infrastructure, and business stakeholders to deliver reliable AI solutions.

We are a global financial services group operating in 30 markets with 57 years of unbroken profitability. At Macquarie, you're empowered to shape a career that is fulfilling and creates value.

What role will you play

In this role, you will build production-ready AI solutions by integrating services such as OpenAI, Claude, and Azure OpenAI into our platforms, focusing on practical API-driven implementations rather than model training.

Working in an agile environment, you will collaborate with cross-functional teams to optimize AI solutions for performance and cost.

What You Offer

• Strong multi-language programming proficiency, with deep expertise in Python and solid skills in JavaScript/React and Java, grounded in clean code practices and object-oriented design principles.
• Applied AI integration expertise, including hands-on experience with AI APIs (e.g., OpenAI, Claude, Azure OpenAI), prompt design, and cost and performance aware production usage.
• Robust data and database fundamentals, spanning SQL and NoSQL systems, efficient data manipulation with Pandas and NumPy, and sound data modeling and preprocessing skills.
• Cloud platform competency, with practical knowledge of deploying and managing applications on AWS or Azure, including cloud-native services, storage, and serverless concepts.
• Modern DevOps and engineering practices, including Docker, Kubernetes, Git-based workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and automated testing for scalable, maintainable systems.
