Automation Engineer IV

Aptask Global Workforce (AGW) is seeking an Automation Engineer IV for a Remote position with a Leading Technology Firm located remotely within the US. This is a 12 month contract opportunity.

This role is part of the client's Finance Innovation Hub, sitting at the intersection of AI engineering and Finance transformation. The successful candidate will work shoulder-to-shoulder with Finance teams, taking full ownership of automation projects from initial scoping through go-live. The work is practical, consequential, and directly tied to how a major finance organization runs by delivering trusted, auditable systems for daily operations.

Responsibilities:

• Own end-to-end delivery: design, build, test, iterate, and deploy AI-enabled solutions from first conversation to production release
• Translate business needs into technical solutions: understand Finance requirements deeply, guide stakeholders on solution design, and architect implementations grounded in the client's technology stack
• Embed governance from day one: implement guardrails, fallback behaviors, human-in-the-loop logic, and documentation that satisfies enterprise control and audit requirements
• Build stable data foundations: identify and integrate relevant datasets into extensible pipelines that power reliable automation
• Collaborate across disciplines: partner with internal architects on design decisions, debug issues directly with stakeholders, and bring field learnings back to improve the Hub's platforms and practices
• Document with intent: record technical decisions, assumptions, and dependencies so that every solution is auditable, maintainable, and transferable
• Participate in on-call rotation for close cycles, which may include after-hours and weekend coverage to ensure critical Finance workflows run without disruption

Requirements:

• Strong software engineering skills in Python, SQL, and API development
• Hands-on experience with AI/ML models, LLMs, or intelligent automation frameworks
• Comfort with modern AI development tools including agentic frameworks, AI workflow builders, and "vibe-coding" environments
• Working knowledge of data pipelines and integration patterns that move data reliably between systems
• Understanding of enterprise controls and audit requirements
• Ability to work directly with Finance stakeholders who aren't engineers, translating their pain into your architecture
• Track record of breaking down loosely defined business challenges into structured, repeatable technical solutions
• Strong communication skills: you can explain technical tradeoffs, design choices, and risk in plain language
• This role requires participation in the on-call rotation during month-end and quarter-end close periods, including after-hours and weekend support
• Proven ability to operate in time-sensitive environments where production uptime directly impacts Finance reporting deadlines
• A reliability mindset: you build with supportability in mind and take ownership when systems need attention

Desired skills:

• Prior experience as a Forward Deployed Engineer, Solutions Engineer, Technical Consultant, or similar embedded-builder role
• Consulting or big4 experience
• Domain experience in Finance, Audit, or regulated industries
• Familiarity with the client's technology stack

Pay range: up to $92.71 per hour
