We’re building our next-generation cash flow analysis product, and we need a Forward Deployed Engineer - Cash Flow Analysis (CFA) who can sit with bankers, understand how they actually spread and analyze C&I and complex CRE lending, and turn that into working AI-powered software.\nYou’ll embed with customers and design partners, build and deploy solutions in their real environments with their real documents, and carry what you learn back to our product and engineering teams. This role combines credit analyst fluency with hands-on technical skill. You can spread a rent roll and a borrowing base, and you can also ship code.\nEssential Functions/Job Duties\nEmbed with bank and credit union credit teams to observe, document, and improve how they spread financials, normalize statements, and calculate DSCR, global cash flow, and NOI-based metrics\nBuild, configure, and deploy AI-assisted workflows for document extraction, statement classification, spreading, adjustments, and narrative generation, then tune them against real customer data\nRapidly prototype solutions in the field (extraction pipelines, spreading templates, validation rules, integrations) and take the proven ones back to product and engineering for productization\nOwn technical delivery for pilots and design partner implementations, from kickoff through production, including data mapping, integration with origination and core systems, and customer enablement\nApply C&I expertise: working capital and borrowing base analysis, EBITDA normalization and add-backs, covenant testing, seasonality, concentration risk, and multi-entity operating companies\nApply complex CRE expertise: rent roll and T-12 analysis, NOI normalization, stabilized vs. as-is underwriting, lease rollover and tenant concentration, construction and lease-up projections, owner-occupied vs. investor properties, and global cash flow across sponsor and guarantor portfolios\nBuild evaluation harnesses that measure accuracy, explainability, and auditability against analyst-spread benchmarks, and report results to customers and internal teams\nIdentify edge cases (complex ownership structures, cross-collateralized relationships, K-1 flows, messy scans) and turn them into test sets, feedback for the AI team, and product requirements\nBe the voice of the customer in roadmap discussions, with evidence from the field rather than opinion\nSupport sales and client success with technical demos, proofs of concept, and credibility in front of credit officers and executives\nStay current on credit policy, regulatory expectations, model risk management guidance, and competitive offerings\nWhat Success Looks Like\nFirst 90 days: Learn our current CFA capabilities, architecture, and customers; shadow analysts end to end across C&I and CRE; ship a first working prototype against real customer documents\n6 months: Lead one or more design partner pilots live in production, with a benchmark showing accuracy and analyst time saved\n12 months: Field-proven AI capabilities folded into the core product, with a repeatable deployment playbook and satisfied reference customers\nWho You Are\nYou’re a credit analyst who learned to code, or an engineer who learned to read a credit memo. You get energy from being in the room with the customer, you’re comfortable being handed a messy rent roll and a deadline, and you’re honest about where AI works, where it doesn’t, and where a banker will insist on checking the work.\nSkills/Qualifications Required\nRequired\nBA/BS in Finance, Lending Operations, Business, Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field.\n5+ years of hands-on experience spreading financial statements and performing cash flow analysis in a bank, credit union, or lending environment, or in a fintech role directly supporting those workflows\nDemonstrated specialization in both C&I and complex CRE underwriting\nStrong working knowledge of business and personal financial statements, tax returns, and cash flow methodologies (UCA, EBITDA-based, global cash flow, DSCR, NOI-based CRE analysis)\nProficiency in at least one programming language (Python preferred) and comfort with SQL, APIs, JSON, and scripting for data transformation and integration\nExperience building or deploying software solutions in customer environments, such as implementation engineering, solutions engineering, technical consulting, or similar\nStrong communication skills with both bankers and engineers, and the ability to explain technical tradeoffs to a chief credit officer\nWillingness to travel to customer sites 50%\nOne-hour SAFe overview; to be completed within the first 90 days of employment. \nPreferred\nHands-on experience with LLMs, prompt engineering, retrieval, intelligent document processing, or ML evaluation\nExperience with spreading software or loan origination and credit analysis platforms\nFamiliarity with bank security, data privacy, and model risk management requirements\nBackground in construction lending, SBA lending, or credit risk review\nExperience in fintech or banking software\nFormal credit training (RMA, credit analyst programs) or a degree in finance, accounting, computer science, or a related field\nA recognized AI or AI platform fundamentals credential; or to be completed within the first year of employment\nSTANDARD REQUIREMENT\nUse AI responsibly and in alignment with policy, including ongoing learning, and incorporate AI into routine tasks such as drafting communications, summarizing meetings, and organizing information. As the organization’s AI champion, this role is additionally expected to model that standard visibly, help colleagues meet it, and surface policy questions and risks rather than working around them.\nThis role is expected onsite if candidates live near Carmel HC office. Candidates should expect to extensive travel to and from client sites. Candidates must be able to commit to 50% travel to be successful in this role.\nDisclaimer:\nThe above statements are intended to describe the general nature and level of work being performed by individuals assigned to this position.
