AI is changing the landscape of professional services, and we want to make sure we are out in front of it as leaders in the space. This role is about helping us build for what comes next. You will design and maintain the internal software apps and AI systems that make us better, more efficient, and more valuable to our clients. That includes replacing an expensive SaaS tech stack with customized tools we actually build for our specific purposes. But the bigger opportunity is using AI to push the firm forward and redefine what advisory, tax, and accounting services look like entirely. One non\-negotiable for us is the importance of security. We handle sensitive data like SSNs, financial records, and tax filings for hundreds of clients. Every system or tool you build needs to meet industry security standards – encryption in transit and at rest, proper access controls, secure authentication, real monitoring, and adherence to Section 7216\. This is the foundation from which we build. **Outcomes** Here is what we expect this role to deliver. * **Audit and replace –** at least 3 high\-cost SaaS tools within the first 12 months with custom\-built alternatives that match or improve on what we have today * **Cut SaaS spend –** by at least $40,000 within the first 12 months * **Build and deploy –** a minimum of 5 AI\-powered tools or automations within the first 6 months that reduce manual work across the firm * **Keep things running –** 99%\+ uptime on all production tools you build, with incidents documented and resolved within 24 hours * **Document everything –** All code lives in the shared repo. All systems have written documentation. Nothing critical exists only in your head. * **Deliver a quarterly roadmap –** showing what has been completed, what is in progress, and what is planned across all technology priorities. **Attributes** These are the qualities we look for. Not credentials, just how you work. * **Ownership –** You build it, you own it. You see things through and take responsibility when something goes sideways. * **Technical Depth –** You write real, mai
