Job Description

Seeks a Forward Deployed Automation Engineer who will operate at the intersection of AI engineering and Finance transformation.

Success is measured by adopted, auditable production systems that support month-end and quarter-end close.

Responsibilities:

• Own end-to-end delivery of AI-enabled solutions from design and build to testing, iteration, and deployment.


• Translate Finance business needs into technical architectures grounded in enterprise technology stacks.


• Implement governance from the outset, including guardrails, fallback behaviors, human-in-the-loop logic, and audit-ready documentation.


• Build stable data foundations and extensible pipelines that integrate relevant datasets for reliable automation.


• Collaborate with architects and Finance stakeholders to make design decisions, debug issues, and relay field learnings to improve platforms and practices.


• Document technical decisions, assumptions, and dependencies to ensure solutions are auditable, maintainable, and transferable.


• Participate in an on-call rotation for month-end and quarter-end close cycles, including after-hours and weekend coverage per plan.

Required Skills & Qualifications:

• Strong software engineering skills in Python, SQL, and API development.


• Hands-on experience with AI/ML models, LLMs, or intelligent automation frameworks.


• Proficiency with modern AI development tools such as agentic frameworks, AI workflow builders, and coding assistants (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, n8n, or similar).


• Working knowledge of data pipelines and integration patterns for reliable data movement across systems.


• Understanding of enterprise controls and audit requirements with an ability to build compliant, review-ready solutions.


• Ability to engage directly with non-engineering Finance stakeholders and translate needs into architecture and delivery plans.


• Demonstrated skill in structuring loosely defined business problems into repeatable technical solutions.


• Strong written and verbal communication to explain technical tradeoffs, design choices, and risk in clear language.


• Operational readiness to support time-sensitive close cycles with on-call participation as needed.

Preferred Skills:

• Experience as a Forward Deployed Engineer, Solutions Engineer, Technical Consultant, or similar embedded builder.


• Consulting or Big 4 background.


• Domain experience in Finance, Audit, or regulated industries.
