The challenge<\/b>
<\/div>

<\/div>
You’re leaving the safety of Jupyter notebooks to wrestle with the tension of stochastic models in a deterministic financial world. You’ll encounter a codebase processing millions of transactions where "it works on my machine" is not a valid defence, bridging the gap between tutorial implementations and high -scale systems to build co -intelligence that decides and executes without a human holding its hand.

<\/div>
Why this matters<\/b>
<\/div>
​<\/b>
<\/div>
Deriv's mission is Trading for Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime. Millions of traders, around the clock. This scale demands AI that works in production, not prototypes that demo well.
<\/div>

<\/div>
We're already here: AI resolving 65%+ of customer enquiries, writing and reviewing code, processing invoices, and screening candidates. Not experiments. Production systems you'll help extend.

Why Deriv<\/b>
<\/div>

<\/div>
Learn by building, not by watching. Here's where you'll do it:
<\/div>
  • Customer experience<\/b>: Building AI that handles conversation, outreach, and lifecycle management.<\/span>
    <\/li>
  • Developer infrastructure<\/b>: Building the systems that build systems (Spec -to -PR, QA automation, security scanning).
    <\/li>
  • Business functions<\/b>: Building the AI that runs Deriv (finance workflows, HR automation).
    <\/li><\/ul>
    Your placement depends on team needs and your interests. You'll likely focus on one area but touch several, with real ownership and support along the way.
    <\/div>

    <\/div>

    <\/div>
    What you'll do<\/b>
    <\/div>
    • Build features that go to production<\/b>: You won't just write scripts; you'll ship code that runs in live environments.
      <\/li>
    • Work across three paradigms<\/b>: You'll learn to combine deterministic systems (code), predictive models (ML), and agentic systems (LLMs).
      <\/li>
    • Learn from failure<\/b>: You'll understand why guardrails matter when a 1% error rate means thousands of wrong decisions.
      <\/li>
    • Pair with experienced engineers<\/b>: You'll own small features end -to -end with guidance from senior mentors.
      <\/li><\/ul>

      <\/div>

      <\/div>
      Who you are<\/b>
      <\/div>
      • You write code that runs<\/b>: Python or another language you genuinely enjoy. You know syntax is easy; making things work in production is where it gets interesting.
        <\/li>
      • You've touched ML or LLMs<\/b>: Courses, side projects, experiments. Enough to know what you don't know yet.
        <\/li>
      • You deliver reliably<\/b>: You distinguish urgent from important and keep your promises on delivery dates.
        <\/li>
      • You're comfortable being wrong<\/b>: You'll ship code that breaks. That's how you learn—if you can admit it and fix it.
        <\/li><\/ul>

        <\/div>

        <\/div>
        Tech stack<\/b>
        <\/div>
        • Languages<\/b>: Python, TypeScript
          <\/li>
        • AI/ML<\/b>: OpenAI APIs, Anthropic APIs, LangGraph, Custom ML Pipelines
          <\/li>
        • Infrastructure<\/b>: AWS, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, LangFuse
          <\/li><\/ul>

          <\/div>

          <\/div>
          The honest reality<\/b>
          <\/div>
          This is demanding work. You'll face problems without clear answers. You'll ship code that breaks and fix it under pressure. Some weeks will be frustrating.
          <\/div>

          <\/div>
          But you'll ship AI that runs—not demos, not prototypes. You'll see your work handling real transactions. And you'll grow fast.
