Automated Decisioning Engineer

Soledad Data Solutions
San Diego, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 7/16/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 8/15/2026
About This Role

You will design and build the systems that take a raw input — a transaction, an application, a customer signal — and produce a defensible decision in milliseconds. You will balance model outputs, deterministic rules, regulatory constraints, and human review queues into one coherent pipeline.

What you will do

  • Architect decisioning pipelines that combine model inference, rules engines, and human review.
  • Build APIs and event-driven services that meet strict latency and reliability SLAs.
  • Implement audit trails, decision explanations, and override mechanisms.
  • Partner with research to translate model outputs into customer-impacting decisions.
  • Drive design reviews, on-call quality, and post-mortems for decisioning incidents.

What we are looking for

  • 5 years backend or platform engineering, with at least 2 in ML-adjacent systems.
  • Strong systems design skills — you have built low-latency, high-availability services.
  • Working knowledge of rules engines (Drools, OpenL Tablets) or workflow orchestration (Temporal, Cadence, Airflow).
  • Comfort with distributed systems concepts (idempotency, exactly-once, backpressure).
  • Excellent written communication — your design docs make decisions easier.

Nice to have

  • Experience in regulated industries (financial services, healthcare, insurance).
  • Hands-on with policy-as-code or formal verification tooling.
