• Collaborate closely with product and trading teams to integrate sophisticated financial data models and business logic into agent behavior
• Construct and maintain internal knowledge graphs that enable agents to understand complex financial relationships and processes
• Monitor agent performance, reliability, and latency in production environments and continuously iterate for improvement
