• Protocols & architecture: Experience with MCP clients, A2A servers (agent-to-agent communication), asynchronous task processing and chatbot/dialogue platforms.
• Industry experience: Background in the banking/fintech sector.
• Compliance & AI governance: Experience in highly regulated sectors (e.g. EU AI Act risk assessment, auditability via chain-of-thought logging, dynamic guardrails and rights management).

Key responsibilities within the project:
