You'll sit at the intersection of finance, data engineering, and applied AI — building the systems and infrastructure that power how our finance and corporate operations team runs.   You will design and deploy the modern data and automation stack from the ground up: architecting scalable financial data models, integrating AI agents into real workflows, and turning manual, spreadsheet-driven processes into reliable, production-grade systems.   The ideal candidate has deep finance domain knowledge — you understand how the books actually close, how procurement flows, how revenue is recognized — and the technical fluency to translate that understanding into durable, automated systems. You're equally comfortable in a SQL editor and in a conversation with the CFO, and you're energized by building in a zero-to-one environment.   WHAT YOU'LL DO Finance Data & Systems - Facilitate the design, build, and maintenance of a reliable financial data foundation using modern tools (.g. dbt, FiveTran, Snowflake/BigQuery, Airflow), covering revenue, AP/AR, procurement, close, strategic finance and FP&A - Partner closely with data infrastructure team to build Mercor's financial data model: define canonical datasets, dimensional schemas, and the transformation logic that serves Finance stakeholders - Partner with Finance leads across accounting, strategic finance, and operations to translate business requirements into technical architecture - Build and maintain dashboards and self-serve reporting tools that give finance leaders real-time visibility into key metrics AI & Automation - Own the Agentic Finance roadmap – prioritizing use cases and driving features from ideation to deployment - Identify high-value automation opportunities across Finance and corporate operations — month-end close tasks, reconciliations, procurement workflows, variance analysis — and ship solutions that eliminate manual work - Build intelligent, reliable automation via agents (in partnership with engineering teams), AI-powered tools, and multi-step ETL jobs into live finance workflows, using APIs (including frontier models) - Build internal tooling that Finance teams actually use: lightweight apps, workflow automations, and AI-assisted processes that save meaningful time at scale - Stay at the frontier of what's possible with AI in Finance (meeting other finance teams, reading research, etc.), and proactively bring new capabilities to bear on Mercor's highest-leverage operational problems Governance, Quality & Scale - Enforce data integrity standards and testing practices across all financial data products — ensuring auditability and reliability for a maturing Finance function - Ensure AI-assisted processes meet appropriate governance and controls standards, with clear auditability of model outputs used in financial workflows - Champion a culture of data quality and documentation so that Finance teams trust and rely on
