Job Overview:
We are seeking a highly skilled Automation Engineer IV to join their team. This role is at the intersection of AI engineering and Finance transformation, where automation meets governance. The position involves developing AI-driven workflows that handle real money, controls, and compliance obligations. The work is practical, impactful, and directly tied to the operations of one of the world's largest finance organizations.

Responsibilities:

• Design, build, test, iterate, and deploy AI-enabled solutions from initial concept to production release.
• Translate complex business needs into technical solutions by understanding Finance requirements and guiding stakeholders on solution design.
• Implement governance measures, including guardrails, fallback behaviors, human-in-the-loop logic, and documentation to meet enterprise control and audit requirements.
• Develop stable data foundations by identifying and integrating relevant datasets into extensible pipelines for reliable automation.
• Collaborate with internal architects, debug issues with stakeholders, and contribute to improving platforms and practices within the Finance Innovation Hub.
• Document technical decisions, assumptions, and dependencies to ensure solutions are auditable, maintainable, and transferable.
• Participate in on-call rotations during month-end and quarter-end close cycles, including after-hours and weekend support as needed, to ensure critical Finance workflows run without disruption.

• 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 environments like Claude Code, Cursor, or n8n.
• Working knowledge of data pipelines and integration patterns for reliable data movement between systems.
• Understanding of enterprise controls and audit requirements to build compliant systems.
• At least one year of consulting or Big 4 experience.
• Ability to work directly with Finance stakeholders, translating their needs into technical architectures.
• Proven track record of developing structured, repeatable technical solutions for business challenges.
• Strong communication skills to explain technical tradeoffs, design choices, and risks in plain language.
• Experience operating in time-sensitive environments where production uptime impacts Finance reporting deadlines.
• Reliability mindset with a focus on supportability and ownership of systems.

• Experience as a Forward Deployed Engineer, Solutions Engineer, Technical Consultant, or similar embedded-builder role.
• Domain experience in Finance, Audit, or regulated industries.
• Familiarity with Meta's technology stack.
