## Description

This role is the primary ongoing development resource for Business Operations technology, primarily supporting Procurement, Finance, and Human Resources. The current priority is a data infrastructure project that consolidates cost data from several internal systems into a unified cost-attribution framework, but the role is not scoped to that project alone - it will take on a broadening range of development work across these functions over time. A defining requirement of this role is applying AI capabilities - through native AI features in existing tools, API integrations, and protocols such as MCP (Model Context Protocol) - to improve data workflows, reporting, and operational processes across these functions. In this role, you will:

 * Lead the development efforts for our FP&A Cost Attribution Project
 + Serve as lead developer for the development of a bitemporal PostgreSQL database that enables traceable cost allocation, with a schema designed to become more granular as business requirements evolve
 + Build and maintain integrations pulling data from Jira, NetSuite, Device42, and Bitbucket, among other data sources, to support cost attribution logic
 + Support the project toward its Q1 2027 deployment target, including schema documentation and handoff materials, and maintain the system once in production
 * Lead engineering efforts in support of our Business Operations teams
 * Work with the Procurement team to rebuild the current quote order management systems
 * Support Finance and HR operations by building data pipelines, automating reports, and integrating systems as needs arise
 * Act as a general-purpose development resource across these functions, prioritizing work in coordination with the Director of Operations
 * Identify and implement native AI features within tools already in use by Procurement, Finance, HR, Compliance, and Risk, such as AI capabilities embedded in NetSuite, Jira, Confluence, or other platforms
 * Build custom integrations using APIs, MCP, or comparable protocols to connect large language models to internal systems and workflows
 * Evaluate current manual processes across these functions and propose and implement AI-assisted or automated alternatives
 * Work with the Security team to maintain security best practices and appropriate data-handling controls when integrating AI tooling with internal or vendor systems
