Visa Requirement: USC / Green Card Only

We are seeking a hands-on Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) with a strong combination of Corporate Finance Transformation and AI Engineering experience.

The ideal candidate should have approximately 40% Finance Transformation experience and 60% AI Engineering / Forward Deployed Engineering experience.

The candidate will work directly with Corporate Finance leaders, including CFOs, Finance VPs, process owners, and technical teams, to identify, design, prototype, and validate AI and Agentic AI opportunities across finance functions.

This role bridges business problem discovery and technical experimentation, translating finance use cases into working prototypes and determining whether the appropriate solution is an AI agent, AI skill/Copilot capability, traditional automation, deterministic solution, or a non-AI approach.

• Partner with CFOs, Finance VPs, and finance process leaders to understand business challenges and existing workflows.
• Identify opportunities where AI and Agentic AI can improve corporate finance processes.
• Translate business requirements into clear, technically actionable use cases.
• Identify potential AI applications across finance operations and transformation initiatives.
• Help business stakeholders understand AI capabilities, opportunities, and practical limitations.

• Evaluate whether AI is the appropriate solution for specific business problems.
• Determine the right technical approach, including:
  • AI Agents.
  • AI Skills and Copilot Solutions.
  • Agentic AI Workflows.
  • Traditional Automation.
  • Deterministic Solutions.
• Identify processes requiring exact, consistent, and reproducible results where probabilistic AI may not be suitable.
• Recommend alternative approaches when AI is not the right solution.
• Define solution approaches based on business value, technical feasibility, and operational requirements.

• Convert selected business concepts into functional AI prototypes.
• Develop prototypes through short, focused development cycles ranging from one day to one or two weeks.
• Experiment with AI and Agentic AI capabilities to validate business use cases.
• Use synthetic data where appropriate to test and demonstrate solutions without requiring production environments.
• Gather stakeholder feedback and refine prototypes based on business requirements.
• Manage multiple prototyping engagements at different stages.
• Evaluate prototype performance and recommend whether to proceed, stop, or redesign.

• Understand and support corporate finance processes and transformation initiatives.
• Work across finance functions such as:
  • Journal Entries.
  • Revenue Recognition.
  • Treasury.
  • Financial Forecasting.
  • Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A).
  • Finance Operations.
• Identify opportunities to improve finance processes through AI, automation, and technology-enabled solutions.
• Connect business requirements with practical AI engineering solutions.

• Collaborate with senior finance stakeholders, engineering teams, and technology platform teams.
• Facilitate discussions between business and technical teams.
• Document prototype outcomes, technical findings, and business value.
• Support successful transition of validated prototypes to appropriate implementation and production teams.
• Communicate technical concepts and AI capabilities effectively to non-technical stakeholders.

• Strong hands-on experience in AI Engineering and Forward Deployed Engineering.
• Experience working directly with business stakeholders and technical teams.
• Strong understanding of Corporate Finance processes and Finance Transformation.
• Ability to translate business problems into practical AI/technology solutions.
• Experience designing, developing, and validating AI-powered prototypes.
• Practical exposure to Agentic AI, AI Agents, and AI-enabled workflows.
• Understanding of AI solution architecture and automation approaches.
• Ability to evaluate when AI is appropriate and when traditional or deterministic solutions are better.
• Experience working in rapid development and prototyping environments.
• Strong problem-solving, communication, and stakeholder management skills.

• 40% Finance Transformation: Corporate Finance, finance processes, business problem discovery, and process improvement.
• 60% AI Engineering / FDE: AI solution design, Agentic AI, prototyping, technical experimentation, and implementation validation.

The ideal candidate is a hands-on Forward Deployed Engineer who can work comfortably with CFOs, Finance VPs, business process owners, and engineering teams.

The candidate should combine practical corporate finance knowledge with strong AI engineering capabilities and be able to rapidly transform business challenges into working prototypes.

A strong understanding of both business processes and emerging AI technologies is essential.

• Location: United States.
• Work Model: 100% Remote.

Visa Requirement: Only US Citizens (USC) and Green Card holders are eligible.

Important Note: Candidates must have a combination of approximately 40% Finance Transformation experience and 60% AI Engineering / Forward Deployed Engineering experience. This is a hands-on engineering role, not purely a finance consulting or strategy position.
