  • Manage governed data-serving pipelines, schema design, and caching strategies (API query and semantic caching) to ensure high performance and data fallback reliability
  • Integrate AI assistants via internal LLM gateways and build modular "Financial Skills" services (variance detection, anomaly flags, driver insights) grounded in Finance context
  • Drive CI/CD release automation via GitLab pipelines while maintaining end-to-end production operations, monitoring, incident response, and system reliability
Who You Are (Success Profile)
  • You are a pragmatic builder with a passion for creating, iterating, and shipping scalable tools that deliver immediate value to users.
  • You are driven by technical innovation and energized by leveraging modern AI technologies to solve complex platform challenges.
  • You are an active problem-solver who enjoys navigating complex data environments to build reliable, high-impact solutions.
  • You act like an owner by balancing strategic architectural vision with hands-on technical execution.
  • You are a high-trust collaborator who builds strong cross-functional partnerships and communicates complex technical concepts with clarity.
What We’re Looking for (Minimum Qualifications)
  • Demonstrated curiosity and active exploration of AI tools, with a proven history of integrating new technologies to enhance daily workflows and augment problem-solving
  • 5–8 years building and operating production systems across data, backend, and platform engineering
  • Strong Python (FastAPI/services, pipelines) and SQL (Snowflake + relational modeling) expertise
  • Strong AWS fundamentals (VPC/IAM/EC2, security basics) and experience with CI/CD deployment pipelines
  • Experience with authentication and SSO patterns (Okta/OIDC preferred)
  • Experience with containerization (Docker) and modern deployment practices
What Will Make You Stand Out (Preferred Qualifications)
  • Hands-on experience with LLM integrations, including OpenAI-compatible APIs, RAG architectures, semantic caching, and prompt/context management
