  • Experience with cloud infrastructure, preferably Azure, and data platforms and orchestration tools such as Databricks, Spark, Dagster, or Airflow.
  • Preferred experience in forward deployed, solutions engineering, or embedded technical roles with ownership of business outcomes.
  • Preferred experience with Salesforce APIs, SOQL, CRM integration patterns, and production-grade interconnected multi-agent ecosystems.
  • Preferred experience building AI tools for financial professionals and contributing to engineering culture through mentoring or technical design leadership.

Benefits
