AI Architect, Finance

10+ years of progressive experience in AI/ML, software engineering, or applied data science, including significant time as a senior IC, principal, or staff-level architect.

Demonstrated experience designing and shipping production AI systems — ideally including agentic AI, LLM-based applications, and ML for forecasting or planning use cases.

Deep, hands-on expertise with modern AI tooling: foundation models and APIs, agent frameworks, RAG patterns, vector stores, orchestration tools, and ML libraries (e.g., scikit-learn, PyTorch, TensorFlow, statsmodels, Prophet, or equivalents).

Strong software engineering fundamentals — Python, APIs, version control, testing, CI/CD, cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP), and modern data stacks.

Solid working knowledge of finance and FP&A concepts: budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, driver-based planning, management reporting, and the systems that support them (ERP, EPM/CPM, data warehouse, BI).

Experience working with or building on top of finance-relevant data — general ledger, sub-ledgers, headcount, sales pipeline, and operational drivers — with a strong appreciation for data quality and lineage.

Our promise to each other:

Agentic AI & Intelligent Automation

Architect and build agentic AI systems that automate finance workflows, including close, consolidations, variance analysis, management reporting, and ad-hoc analytical requests.

Design multi-agent orchestration systems (planner, retriever, executor, reviewer) with appropriate guardrails, evaluations, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints.

Identify high-leverage automation opportunities across the finance value chain and translate them into clear architectural blueprints, prototypes, and production roadmaps.

Define standards for prompt engineering, tool integration, RAG, memory, and agent observability to ensure consistency and reliability across solutions.

Partner with Engineering, IT, and Security to productionize agents — addressing identity, access, secrets management, audit logging, and change control.
