Junior AI Automation Developer

Many finance systems are built by people who have never looked at a chart of accounts. This results in configurations that fail during the close process and require constant manual intervention. Our work focuses on closing that gap. Currently, we are working with our partner, a major French retail company, to ensure their financial data flows through automated pipelines without losing integrity. We move away from the typical theatre of large enterprise projects and focus on results that finance teams can actually trust.

About the role
As a Junior AI Automation Developer at Alpine Business Consulting, you will help our team build and maintain the logic that connects finance processes with automated tools. This is a fully remote position that requires a focus on precision and technical documentation. You will assist in configuring workflows that handle data consolidation and reporting, ensuring that the automation we build is reliable and easy for the client to manage long after we are gone. Your work supports our commitment to fixed price projects where clarity and accuracy are the primary metrics of success. This is a paid role, and the compensation is competitive for the entry level market.

What you will do

• Configure automated data pipelines to support the monthly close process and financial reporting.
• Build and maintain detailed documentation for automation scripts to ensure clients remain self sufficient.
• Assist in the remediation of broken data flows in existing financial systems for our retail partners.
• Perform data mapping between legacy accounting systems and modern EPM platforms.
• Test automation logic against real world finance scenarios to ensure numerical accuracy.
• Help define and maintain data dictionaries that keep reporting consistent across the organization.
• Participate in internal technical reviews to identify where manual finance tasks can be reliably automated.

What we are looking for

• A basic understanding of programming logic, particularly with Python, SQL, or similar languages.
• Strong skills in Microsoft Excel, including familiarity with nested formulas and structured data.
• A fundamental grasp of finance or accounting principles, such as how a chart of accounts functions.
• An eye for detail and a preference for finding the root cause of a data error rather than a quick fix.
• The ability to write clear, plain English explanations for technical configurations and logic.
• A logical approach to problem solving that avoids adding unnecessary complexity to a system.
• Comfort working in a fully remote environment where direct, transparent communication is essential.

Bonus points

• Basic experience with Power BI or other data visualization tools used in corporate reporting.
• Exposure to Oracle EPM, SAP BPC, or similar consolidation tools during your studies or internships.
• Familiarity with cloud data platforms such as Snowflake or similar data warehousing environments.

What we offer

• A fully remote work environment that respects your time and focus without the need for an office.
• A professional culture that avoids implementation theatre and focuses on direct, tangible results.
• Direct mentorship from senior consultants who have deep expertise in both finance and technical systems.
• Exposure to complex projects for major clients, including our current work with a large retail partner.
• Predictable project scopes with fixed prices, which reduces the stress associated with open ended hourly billing.
• The opportunity to build automation tools that provide genuine, long term value to finance professionals.
• Structured training on the specific EPM and analytics platforms used by our clients.

Our approach is always finance first. We do not start with the technology: we start with the numbers and the people who use them every day. By prioritizing the close process and technical precision, we ensure that every automation we deploy is a permanent fix rather than a temporary patch. Our goal is to make our clients entirely self sufficient, providing them with the training and documentation they need to manage their own systems with confidence.
