OUR IMPACT

Corporate Planning & Management (CPM) unifies Finance & Planning, Global Procurement, Product & Reporting and CPM Engineering teams to deliver business planning and analytics, expense management, third party risk management, sustainability strategy for our operations and supply chain, and governance strategies across the firm.

CPM Engineering provides engineering solutions that enable the firm to manage third-party spend & risk management, plan budgets, forecast financial scenarios, allocate expenses and support corporate decision making in-line with the firm's strategic objectives.

Why does this role stand out:

1. Direct business impact - your work shapes how the firm plans, spends, forecasts, and makes strategic decisions.
2. Build enterprise-wide solutions that cross data and platform boundaries, and decision-support tools, not just isolated applications.
3. Cross-functional exposure - partner closely with finance, procurement, product, and risk leaders across a global organization.
4. Complex, meaningful problems - work on systems that improve transparency, controls, efficiency, and scalability across enterprise operations.

We offer:

• The opportunity to work on high-impact platforms that directly influence firm-wide financial planning and operational resilience
• Access to modern cloud-native architectures , modern AI driven developer productivity tools ( Copilot, Claude Code etc) , distributed systems, and large-scale data pipelines
• A forward-looking environment where AI tools, agentic frameworks, and intelligent automation are actively shaping the next generation of our solutions
• A collaborative, global team where you can learn from experts and grow your career

HOW YOU WILL FULFILL YOUR POTENTIAL

As a Data Engineer on our team, you will:

• Design, develop, and maintain software and data solutions across the entire software lifecycle from requirements gathering and architecture through implementation, testing and deployment
• Build responsive, intuitive experiences and robust services that power financial planning, expense management, and risk platforms
• Leverage AI tools and techniques (e.g., code-generation assistants, LLM-powered automation, prompt engineering, Spec-Driven Development) to accelerate development, improve code quality, and enhance platform capabilities
  • Build and maintain knowledge graph and RAG systems to enable document and data retrieval, querying and searching
  • Establish robust governance frameworks including logging, explainability, and auditability to ensure AI quality and reliability
• Collaborate globally with sponsors, users, and engineering colleagues across multiple divisions to create end-to-end solutions that meet complex business requirements
• Participate in code reviews to ensure quality, maintainability, and adherence to engineering best practices
• Take technical ownership of features and components, managing multiple stakeholders and driving delivery within a global team
