• Strong grasp of evaluation methodologies: designing evals, catching regressions, assessing LLM output quality
• Solid data engineering fundamentals: ETL design, SQL/NoSQL, vector databases, streaming or batch pipelines

Qualifications

• Ai tools are woven into how you work daily—you are materially faster because of it, and you can demonstrate that concretely
• Finance or PE domain experience: FP&A, GL data, ERP systems (NetSuite, SAP), or financial workflow automation
• Prior experience in consulting, professional services, or client-facing delivery environments
