• Build data cleaning, reconciliation, and calculation foundations for spend analysis, supplier comparisons, benchmarks, and simulations.

• Develop repeatable ERP integrations and synchronization patterns in collaboration with customer IT teams.

• Own ingestion, orchestration, monitoring, and recovery for production data systems.

• Create tools and workflows that make data onboarding, troubleshooting, and analytical feature development more efficient.

• Experiment with AI development tools and automate repetitive engineering work.

What We're Looking For

• At least 5 years of experience building production data systems, including ownership of architecture and implementation.

• Strong SQL and Python skills, with experience in data modeling and query optimization.

• Practical experience designing multi-tenant systems with data isolation and access controls.

• Experience integrating enterprise systems such as ERPs and working directly with customer IT teams.

• Experience owning ingestion, orchestration, monitoring, and recovery in production.

• Background in data-intensive B2B SaaS or fintech is useful; procurement experience is not required.
