• Architect and implement technical solutions that adhere to LGT's standards, deliver optimized client experience, and provide competitive advantage.
• Develop AI solutions (e.g., automation, chatbots, agent-based systems, MCP prototyping) and integrate them seamlessly with existing business systems to augment platform capabilities.
• Establish and maintain a robust shared data foundation, designing and optimizing our data storage strategy and writing effective APIs as a platform.
• Automate and enhance CI/CD pipelines using GitLab CI/CD, Docker, Kubernetes, and ArgoCD to ensure quality change, system responsiveness, and deployment efficiency for global reach.
• Develop multi-region deployment solutions, proactively addressing geo-specific compliance requirements and localization challenges.
• Ensure data integrity and security by implementing industry’s best practices and LGT's security standards.
• Drive and contribute to test automation efforts, ensuring quality at every stage of the development lifecycle.
• Troubleshoot, debug, and upgrade software, ensuring high performance and reliability.
• Collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams to build reusable, shared libraries and components.
