Xceptor is looking for a Solutions Engineer to join our Tax Solutions Tribe.

What You'll Do
- Deliver well-scoped features and technical tasks end-to-end, with support from senior engineers when needed.
- Break work into small increments, keep PRs focused, and communicate progress and risks early.
- Clarify requirements and constraints before building; ask questions early to avoid rework.
- Build solutions that meet the tribe’s bar for correctness, maintainability, and operability.
- Use AI routinely to accelerate delivery (analysis, testing, documentation) and validate AI-generated output.
- Apply verification discipline appropriate to scope: unit tests, automated tests, edge cases, and basic threat considerations.
- Contribute improvements to templates, data patterns, and workflows.
- Configure robust, reusable solutions on the Xceptor platform.
- Work effectively with SQL and structured/semi-structured data like XML, JSON, CSV, and Excel.
- Produce automated tests aligned to the solution’s design and keep documentation current and accurate.
- Build automated test cases for new functionality and fix issues quickly when identified.
- Understand and follow safe release practices.
- Collaborate effectively in a cross‑functional Scrum team.
- Partner with other teams and stakeholders to identify high-value use cases that extend the solutions portfolio.
- Share progress proactively, ask for help when needed, and support teammates.
- Demonstrate continuous learning, adopt feedback quickly, and help create a positive, high-tempo team culture.
What We're Looking For
- Strong logical and analytical problem‑solving skills.
- Hands‑on experience working with XML and SQL, with the ability to reason about data quality and transformation logic.
- Comfortable working with CI/CD, code reviews, and automated testing practices.
- Excellent technical communication skills, including the ability to explain complex ideas to non‑technical stakeholders.
- Demonstrated ability to take solutions from specification through implementation and deployment with a strong quality and usability mindset.
- Uses AI as a routine delivery partner to accelerate implementation and analysis, validating AI‑generated outputs through tests and review.
- Follows established delivery patterns, templates, and guardrails to keep delivery fast, consistent, and safe.
- Shows strong judgement about when to ask for support and incorporates feedback quickly.
- Accountable and delivery‑focused; communicates clearly, early, and often.
- Collaborative and receptive to feedback; actively contributes to a positive team culture.
- Pragmatic and quality‑minded: balances pace with correctness, risk, and control.
- Customer‑aware mindset suited to regulated, mission‑critical financial environments.
- Strong academic background, including a degree in a STEM subject discipline, or equivalent experience.
- Experience delivering data‑driven solutions - ideally 2-5 years in Solutions Engineering, Business Analysis, Data Engineering, or a related field.
- Experience implementing solutions that include data ingestion, transformation, validation, enrichment, or workflow logic.
- Practical experience working with XML, SQL, and structured/semi‑structured data.
- Evidence of strong engineering fundamentals and ability to learn quickly in a fast-moving environment.
