This is a newly created position designed for a "builder" who thrives on optimizing complex systems, automating manual processes, and owning the technical roadmap for enterprise financial systems.

Automation & Engineering: Develop and maintain scripts (Python or PowerShell) to automate system tasks, data loads, and environment management. Data Engineering: Write complex SQL queries and manage data pipelines to ensure high performance and data integrity across systems. Process Architecture: Evaluate current workflows and build scalable, automated processes to replace legacy manual efforts. Technical Oversight: Act as the technical lead for a team of 10+ contractors, providing "dotted line" mentorship and code/architecture reviews. Why Join Us?
