Job description

Letters of credit, guarantees, collections, trade loans and document handling are the processes this role sets out to transform with AI in a Dubai banking environment. The posting is titled Lead Software Engineer, but the requirements describe a lead business and product analysis role on trade-finance transformation, and while the summary lists 5 to 7 years of work experience, the detailed requirements ask for 8 to 10. Requirements sit at the centre of the work, from process models, user stories and acceptance criteria to API, interface and data mapping requirements with full traceability. AI/ML, GenAI, LLMs, prompts, RAG, conversational AI and AI agents all need to be understood well enough to define and validate what gets built, often on Azure AI. Responsible AI and governance run alongside, with Risk, Compliance, AML, sanctions, Legal, Information Security and audit stakeholders closely involved. Workshops, UAT, adoption and operating-model change carry the solution through to the business. Vendor coordination and executive communication complete the stakeholder side. Substantial banking experience and strong trade-finance domain knowledge are essential.
