This is an applied engineering role—not a research or presales position. You will bring independent technical judgment, establish reusable engineering patterns, and help shape how Finance adopts AI responsibly and at scale.

Primary Responsibilities

• Design, build, and deploy AI applications spanning knowledge assistance, document processing, financial analysis, and multi-step workflow automation.
• Assess existing prototypes and develop them into maintainable applications with usable interfaces, enterprise integrations, and clear operational ownership.
• Build reliable connections to approved enterprise systems and data sources, incorporating permission‑aware retrieval, validated queries, and controlled knowledge updates.
• Establish automated testing and AI evaluations covering factual grounding, task completion, numerical accuracy, exception handling, and representative business scenarios.
• Implement secure deployment and operational practices, including access controls, human approval gates, audit logging, monitoring, cost management, and recovery procedures.
• Translate stakeholder needs into requirements, architecture, estimates, and acceptance criteria; select AI, conventional automation, or existing tools as appropriate.
• Create reusable components, documentation, and support runbooks; review vendor deliverables and support knowledge transfer, demonstrations, and team enablement.
• Perform other related duties as assigned.

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

• Strong Python and SQL skills, with demonstrated ownership of production applications from technical design through deployment and ongoing support.
• Hands‑on experience building LLM applications using retrieval‑augmented generation, structured outputs, tool calling, and controlled multi‑step workflows.
• Experience integrating enterprise APIs and data sources, including authentication, authorization, background processing, retries, timeouts, and failure recovery.
• Practical expertise in software and AI testing, Git, deployment pipelines, environment management, monitoring, and release procedures.
• Understanding of secure AI application design, including sensitive‑data handling, least privilege, prompt‑injection risks, source attribution, and human oversight.
• Ability to independently resolve ambiguous technical problems and communicate tradeoffs clearly to business stakeholders and technical partners.

Preferred Experience

• Experience with Finance, Accounting, Internal Audit, or other control‑sensitive functions, including document generation and evidence‑based decision support.
• Experience with enterprise cloud AI services, Microsoft Graph, Dataverse, SharePoint, Copilot Studio, or comparable platforms.
• Experience building MCP servers or integrations, lightweight web applications, and reusable services; familiarity with Salesforce, Tableau, or enterprise warehouses.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Minimum of five years in software engineering, applied AI, data engineering, or automation, including demonstrated delivery of production LLM applications.
