Drive new businesses, redefine finance using AI, and seize opportunities at market speed.
In an era defined by AI, Engineering isn't just central – it's the driving force behind our business. Our dynamic environment demands innovative strategic thinking and immediate, impactful solutions. Ready to push the limits of digital possibility? Begin your journey here.
Who We Look For
Goldman Sachs Engineers are at the forefront of innovation, driving solutions as creative collaborators in a fast-paced global environment. We seek individuals who evolve, adapt, and thrive on challenging problems.
We are seeking a senior engineer who can lead at the frontier of cloud-native financial systems and AI-driven engineering – someone who is energized by hard problems, brings deep technical credibility, and wants to define what the next generation of platforms looks like.
Your Impact
- Drive strategic transformation: Work alongside domain experts to understand existing production processes, challenge long-held assumptions that may no longer hold in a cloud-centric, AI-driven world, and define and deliver the requirements for efficient AI integration.
- Multiply your output with AI: Orchestrate AI coding agents (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Devin, Gemini Code Assist) across all stages of the SDLC while maintaining mastery, quality, and production fitness over all AI-generated work product.
- Deliver outsized business value: Position Goldman Sachs' trading business to handle orders-of-magnitude higher volumes at lower operational costs, directly contributing to the firm's competitive and commercial edge.
- Build for the future: Design and implement high-availability, multi-region, event-driven services on a modern cloud-native platform, setting the architectural standard for years to come.
What You Will Do
- Design, build, and operate high-availability, multi-region, cloud-native services with security and comprehensive observability (metrics, distributed tracing, structured logging) built in at every layer.
- Develop event-driven architectures, multi-stage processing pipelines, and optimized data paths for high-throughput trade lifecycle management.
