Full Job Description
THE POSITION:
We're building enterprise AI platforms that automate document-intensive review workflows across the business. The AI does the heavy lifting on document understanding, rule validation, and exception detection. The Product Engineer builds what users actually see and use - the reviewer workbench, the executive reporting layer, the data products, and the audit-ready outputs that turn AI insights into business decisions.

This is a hybrid product engineering + analytics engineering role. You'll partner with the AI Solution Architect (who owns the agents) and the MLOps Engineer (who owns the data platform) to ship the user-facing layer. You report to the Head of AI & Data Strategy. Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

Reviewer Workbench & application engineering
  • Reviewer-facing application - triage incoming documents, accept or override AI recommendations, annotate decisions
  • UI/UX patterns that match how reviewers actually work today (comment logs, page-level evidence links, override flows)
  • Feedback capture - every reviewer interaction trains the model and refines the rule packs
  • Application performance at scale - handling high document volumes with thousands of pages of supporting context
  • Surfacing of agent outputs, confidence scores, and citations to reviewers in a way they trust


Reporting, dashboards & executive visibility
  • Power BI dashboards on Databricks SQL Warehouse - review throughput, accuracy, time saved, operational metrics
  • Executive reporting layers for SLT and business leadership
  • Portfolio analytics - cross-domain benchmarks, trend analysis, anomaly surfacing
  • Quarterly reporting infrastructure for SteerCo and AI Program Council reviews


Data products & analytics engineering
  • Clean, documented Gold-layer data products on Unity Catalog - reusable across business stakeholders, IT Delivery, AI team
  • Output generators - auto-produce Excel + Word + linked evidence outputs per reviewed item, audit-ready by default
  • APIs and integration patterns surfacing platform outputs to enterprise systems and business workflows
  • Analytics engineering standards - dbt or equivalent modeling, version control, lineage, documentation


User research & adoption
  • Direct work with business users - what's slowing them down, what's working, what they need next
  • Fast-cadence iteration based on real user feedback, not quarterly release cycles
  • User documentation, training materials, onboarding flows for end users and report consumers
  • Cross-functional partnership with the AI Solution Architect, MLOps Engineer, business stakeholders, IT Delivery, SLT


THE DETAILS:
  • Location: Denver, CO
  • Travel: Under 10%
  • Benefits: Healthcare, Dental Care, Vision Insurance, Life Insurance, Paid Time Off, and Paid Leave Programs
  • Must be eligible to work in the United States
  • Must pass comprehensive background and drug screening


MUST-HAVE QUALIFICATIONS:
  • 5+ years building data-intensive applications, internal tools, or data products in production

  • Full-stack capability - modern web frameworks (React, Vue, or equivalent), Python or TypeScript, SQL
  • Production experience with at least one BI/reporting tool (Power BI preferred)
  • Strong SQL on Databricks SQL Warehouse, dbt, or equivalent lakehouse modeling
  • Proven UX intuition - you have shipped internal tools real users adopt and improved them based on observed behavior
  • Experience designing reporting consumed by executive stakeholders - balancing detail, accuracy, clarity
  • Microsoft 365 and Azure ecosystem familiarity (Power BI, SharePoint Online, Azure App Services, Entra ID)
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field


Nice to have
  • Power BI Data Analyst Associate or Databricks Data Analyst Associate certifications
  • Document-heavy UX experience - PDF viewers, annotation tools, evidence linking, comment logs
  • Experience surfacing LLM outputs to end users - confidence scoring, override flows, citation interfaces
  • React + TypeScript + modern frontend tooling and component libraries
  • Embedded analytics (Power BI embedded, Looker embedded, or equivalent)
  • Construction, real estate, data center, or AEC industry context
  • Experience operating in a small AI team where you wear multiple hats


How you work
  • You build for the user in front of you. You would rather watch a user use what you built than read about adoption metrics.
  • You're comfortable with ambiguity. You figure out what the user needs by talking to them, not by waiting for a spec.
  • You ship small and often. Big quarterly releases are not your model.
  • You think about data products as products. A Gold-layer table should be documented, versioned, and reliable.


Compensation Range:
$128,260.00 - $146,017.59

THIS MIGHT BE RIGHT FOR YOU IF:

  • You are a strong communicator, you are persuasive and clear, blending analytics with experience in decision-making.
  • You do not get flustered easily. You can juggle multiple priorities while balancing urgent requests with shifting timelines and deliverables.
  • You are a team builder. You take the time to understand and develop the strengths of your resources while formulating long-term plans for the growth and success of the team.
  • You are naturally curious and driven toward continual improvement. While you celebrate your successes, you take time to review and analyze campaigns for future learning.
