While the work we perform continues to evolve alongside technology and client needs, our purpose remains consistent: to build teams capable of delivering outstanding results in environments where quality, adaptability and speed matter.\nWe believe that great businesses are built by capable people. Technology can increase productivity, but people bring judgment, solve problems, build trust and adapt to change. For that reason, we invest as deliberately in developing our people as we do in delivering for our clients.\nWe are not defined by a single service, project or technology. We are defined by our ability to identify potential, develop expertise, and deploy our people where they can create the greatest value. Our people work across different locations, business units and work models, but we remain one organization with a shared commitment to excellence, accountability, continuous learning and respect for one another.\nWe believe work should create value for everyone involved. Our clients should receive exceptional service. Our people should gain meaningful experience and build lasting expertise. And together, we should continue raising the standard for what a modern operations company can be.\nTHE ROLE\nHugo’s Corporate Development department needs a lead engineer to own the Corporate Development Portal, part of Hugo’s internal Intelligence Hub.

It brings together:\nFinancial and operational dashboards with real time data\n\nKPI and OKR tracking, active projects and the documents behind each planning cycle\n\nA knowledge base and document repositories, with an AI layer on top\n\nRole based access, so every user sees the data their role allows\n\nWHAT YOU’LL BE DOING\nTake the existing prototype to a production application on the Intelligence Hub, then lead its continuous evolution.\n\nOwn the architecture and technical roadmap, and present options and tradeoffs clearly to the executive sponsor and department leaders.\n\nDesign the data models, metric definitions and reconciliation checks that keep financial figures consistent across dashboards, reports and the AI layer.\n\nBuild frontend pages and components in React, with charts in Recharts.\n\nBuild backend routes in Node and Express that serve warehouse and Postgres data to the UI.\n\nOwn the data pipelines that feed the Portal and keep every dashboard figure matching its source.\n\nDesign and build the AI layer, including agents that work from the knowledge base and natural language querying of dashboards.\n\nDesign and implement authentication and role based access for multiple user groups, in line with Hugo’s data security standards.\n\nSet the code review, testing, documentation and release practices for the Portal, and align them with Hugo’s wider engineering standards.\n\nKeep the Portal available and fast in production, with runbooks the wider team can follow.\n\nGuide and review the work of any engineers or contractors added to the Portal as it grows.\n\nKEY REQUIREMENTS\n8+ years of professional full stack development, including at least one data heavy product that you architected and led to production.\n\nHands-on experience building analytics platforms and financial intelligence products, such as performance reporting, FP&A, planning, treasury, investor reporting or business intelligence systems, where accuracy of the numbers is central to the product.\n\nExperience leading technical direction as a tech lead, staff engineer or engineering lead, including mentoring other engineers.\n\nStrong JavaScript across the stack: React on the frontend, Node.js and Express on the backend.\n\nStrong SQL and deep experience with PostgreSQL or a comparable relational database.\n\nExperience building data heavy dashboards and analytics applications.\n\nExperience modelling financial data, including metric definitions, period handling, currency and reconciliation to source systems.\n\nProduction experience with authentication and role based access control, and sound practices for protecting confidential data.\n\nExperience with BigQuery or another cloud data warehouse.\n\nExperience with a BI tool such as Omni, Looker, Tableau or Power BI.\n\nDaily use of AI coding tools such as Claude Code or Cursor.\n\nGit and GitHub workflow, including leading code review.\n\nA record of working directly with executives and business stakeholders, and turning loose requests into scoped deliveries.\n\nSTRONG ADVANTAGES\nExperience integrating LLMs or building AI agents in production, especially natural language querying over financial data.\n\nExperience in a finance, strategy or corporate development team environment.\n\nExperience building multi tenant or multi entity systems where each entity’s data stays separate.\n\nCloud and deployment experience (AWS, Cloudflare, Nginx, CI/CD pipelines).\n\nPython or Node for scripting and data manipulation.\n\nEQUAL OPPORTUNITY STATEMENT\nDiversity, equity and inclusion are part of our DNA.
