Developer to build AI automations for Finance (journal vouchers, audit support, analysis) by automatizing Financial processes with ChatGPT and Copilot Studio. Primary focus is development; during lower development demand, support process/data analysis and internal control evaluations to identify new automation opportunities—aligned to the Principles for Church Use of Artificial Intelligence.
Objectives of this role
1. Partner with Finance to map processes/controls, prioritize a backlog, and identify new automation opportunities (including during lower development demand).
2. Deliver AI automations that improve accuracy, cycle time, and compliance.
3. Build production apps and workflows (APIs, Power Automate/RPA, Copilot Studio) for vouchers, audit evidence, and reconciliation.
4. Apply Responsible AI per the Principles for Church Use of Artificial Intelligence; follow required reviews for higher-risk use cases.
5. Build and maintain Finance process automations for journal vouchers, approvals, and supporting documentation; during lower development demand, support data analysis and internal control evaluations to surface new opportunities.
6. Automate audit support (evidence collection, sampling, control testing) with traceability.
7. Integrate Oracle ERP and Finance data sources via APIs/pipelines; implement validation to improve data quality.
8. Apply LLM/AI techniques (OpenAI, copilots) with governance: data classification, least-privilege access, human-in-the-loop approvals, and ongoing quality checks.
9. Deliver maintainable software (Git, tests, documentation, monitoring) and support operations.
Required:
10. 4+ years delivering production software or automation solutions.
11. Strong coding skills (Python, C#/.NET, or Java) plus API integration and SQL/ETL/data pipelines.
12. Applied AI/LLM experience (prompting, RAG, extraction/classification) with evaluation and quality controls.
13. Power Platform and Copilot Studio experience; able to use OpenAI APIs; comfortable with Excel-based Finance workflows.
14. SDLC fundamentals (Git, CI/CD, testing) with security, auditability, and Responsible AI compliance (protect sensitive data, document limits, validate outputs).
Preferred:
15. Finance/ERP experience (GL, close, journal entries, controls/audit); degree in CS/Software/IS or equivalent experience.
16. Experience in controls-heavy environments (SoD, approvals, evidence retention) partnering with Audit/Security/Privacy.
17. Production AI ops; certifications (Power Platform/Azure AI) and hands-on OpenAI/Copilot Studio experience a plus.
