• Integrate Oracle ERP and Finance data sources via APIs/pipelines; implement validation to improve data quality.
• Apply LLM/AI techniques (OpenAI, copilots) with governance: data classification, least-privilege access, human-in-the-loop approvals, and ongoing quality checks.
• Deliver maintainable software (Git, tests, documentation, monitoring) and support operations.

Qualifications

Required:

• 4+ years delivering production software or automation solutions.
• Strong coding skills (Python, C#/.NET, or Java) plus API integration and SQL/ETL/data pipelines.

• Power Platform and Copilot Studio experience; able to use OpenAI APIs; comfortable with Excel-based Finance workflows.

• Experience in controls-heavy environments (SoD, approvals, evidence retention) partnering with Audit/Security/Privacy.
• Production AI ops; certifications (Power Platform/Azure AI) and hands-on OpenAI/Copilot Studio experience a plus.
