The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Financial Planning Plus is hiring a Data Engineer in Cary, NC.

• Role description

  Our technology team is growing, and we want a Data Engineer who can turn complex requirements into reliable, scalable software. Own your projects, earn $85,000 - $128,000, and grow with a team that turns 3 years of Initiative into real results.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Contribute to sprint planning, estimation, and technology roadmap discussions
  • Catch the TensorFlow race conditions that only surface under Cary peak traffic
  • Build internal tooling that improves developer productivity and velocity
  • Bridge LightGBM and TensorFlow so the two halves of Financial Planning Plus's platform finally talk
  • Build responsive, accessible front-end interfaces with Large Language Models
  • Translate a napkin idea from Financial Planning Plus founders into an Innovation impact-driven prototype

  What You'll Bring

  • The diplomacy to align stakeholders who don't agree yet
  • Sound instincts for reading a room you've never been in before
  • Roughly 4+ years operating in a similar Data Engineer position
  • The communication discipline to over-share early and trim later
  • Real proficiency with Reinforcement Learning, plus willingness to learn A/B Testing fast

  We started Financial Planning Plus in a Cary garage because the technology status quo deserved a joyfully-rigorous reckoning. Around here, "I don't know yet" is a perfectly respectable sentence and often the start of something good.

  Expect $85,000 - $128,000, a hybrid Cary office, generous PTO, and leaders who treat your development as a real priority.

  Hiring is open and ongoing for this part-time position in Cary.
