Project

A project within a newly created squad of five engineers responsible for maintaining and evolving production AI agents used by the back office of the securities services (custody) division of a major European bank. The agents are built in Python using CrewAI, with a planned migration to an internal SDK and LangGraph. Surrounding APIs are developed in Go, and all agents are containerized with Docker and deployed on Kubernetes. The squad operates within a federation of local AI teams supported by a central AI group delivering general‑purpose agents that must be adapted to specific custody workflows.
