Agentic Product Engineer

About the role

At Altery, we're building products that make finance feel seamless in a fragmented world. We build the technology that helps businesses and people move money across borders, currencies and digital assets, without the friction. Behind every simple payment is a complex system, and a team that makes it work. We look for people who enjoy solving difficult problems, challenge each other with respect and care about doing great work.

We are looking for an Agentic Product Engineer to join our FinCrime Engineering team, responsible for technology behind key Financial Crime processes, with a current focus on corporate customer onboarding and KYC. 
The team builds and operates onboarding flows, integrations with internal systems and external FinCrime providers, while gradually moving existing functionality from our legacy environment to a new cloud-native architecture.

What you'll be doing at Altery

• Build and improve KYC and corporate onboarding flows, including services already running in production.

• Gradually migrate FinCrime functionality from our legacy .NET environment to AWS-based services, redesigning components for the new architecture rather than simply rewriting them.

• Build and maintain integrations with internal systems and external KYC/FinCrime providers, including identity verification and sanctions screening services.

• Develop orchestration around onboarding processes, ensuring reliable data flows and traceability for audit purposes.

• Own the quality and operation of what you build, including automated testing, deployment, observability, troubleshooting, and production improvements.

• Use AI agents throughout the engineering lifecycle, critically reviewing their output and applying your own engineering and business context to the final solution.

What you'll bring to us

• Strong commercial experience with Python backend development and solid software engineering fundamentals.

• Experience in fintech, payments, banking, trading, FinCrime, or another highly regulated financial services environment.

• Hands-on experience with AWS or another major public cloud, ideally including cloud-native, serverless or event-driven architectures.

• Experience building APIs, integrations and production services, with a solid understanding of automated testing, CI/CD and observability.

• Strong engineering judgement and ownership: ability to understand existing systems, critically review code and architecture, and make pragmatic technical decisions in an evolving environment.

Nice to have

• Experience with KYC/KYB, customer onboarding, transaction monitoring or other FinCrime processes.

• .NET / C# and legacy modernisation experience, particularly migrating existing functionality towards a new architecture.
  
  Current Tech Stack
  Our services are primarily built around Python, AWS and serverless architecture, with TypeScript becoming part of the evolving stack. Our legacy FinCrime services are primarily built on .NET / C#, supported by MS SQL and MongoDB.

What we offer

• Competitive compensation that rewards your contribution.

• Flexible working. Wherever you are, you work your local hours with flexibility, and we all come together during core hours, 9am-2pm UK time. Near a hub? We'd love to see you from time to time, but we care more about outcomes than office hours.

• Wellbeing support, including additional sick leave when you need it.

• Opportunities to grow your career by taking ownership, expanding your skills and making a real impact.
