<div><span style="display:block;font-size:16px;"><span style="color:#006666;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b><i>From Complexity to Clarity</i></b></span></span></span></div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div><span style="display:block;font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Savant is growing fast&mdash;and with growth comes complexity.</span></span></div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div><span style="display:block;font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We&rsquo;re hiring a Lead Developer for our Data, AI, and Wealth Tech. Platforms to help turn a fragmented ecosystem of systems into a single, trusted platform&mdash;one that supports scale, enables AI, and fundamentally improves the advisor experience. This role is about taking something messy and complex and building data infrastructure that actually works.</span></span></div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div><span style="display:block;font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Behind the scenes, wealth management is weighed down by a problem every advisor knows too well: too many tools, too much friction, and not enough time spent with clients. Advisors are forced to navigate dozens of systems just to do their jobs&mdash;and that complexity compounds as the firm grows.</span></span></div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div><span style="display:block;font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">That&rsquo;s where you come in.</span></span></div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div><span style="display:block;font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We&rsquo;re building a unified advisor platform that brings client data, portfolio insights, tax planning, compliance, and AI‑powered intelligence into one place. This is not a proof of concept or a side project. It&rsquo;s a core platform, directly tied to Savant&rsquo;s long‑term growth strategy&mdash;and the data foundation you build will be part of it from day one.</span></span></div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div><span style="display:block;font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If you&rsquo;re an experienced data engineer who wants to build real systems, see your work used in the real world, and help shape how an organization operates at scale, this is a role where you can truly leave your mark.</span></span></div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div><span style="display:block;font-size:16px;"><span style="color:#006666;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>What You&rsquo;ll Be Building</b></span></span></span></div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div><span style="display:block;font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As our Lead Developer &ndash; Data, you&rsquo;ll own the design, build, and reliability of enterprise‑grade data pipelines that connect Savant&rsquo;s wealth technology ecosystem into our Microsoft Azure / Fabric data platform&mdash;fueling analytics, advisor dashboards, and AI use cases at scale.</span></span></div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div><span style="display:block;font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This is a hands‑on, senior role for someone who can step in, make architectural decisions, and execute with confidence.</span></span></div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div><span style="display:block;font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You&rsquo;ll be working on things like:</span></span></div>

<ul>
	<li>
	<div><span style="display:block;font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Production data pipelines integrating wealth platforms (Tamarac, eMoney, Salesforce FSC, tax tools, AI notetaking tools, and more)</span></span></div>
	</li>
	<li>
	<div><span style="display:block;font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">API‑based and file‑based ingestion patterns (REST, SFTP, vendor extracts, near‑real‑time feeds)</span></span></div>
	</li>
	<li>
	<div><span style="display:block;font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Curated, analytics‑ready datasets (dimensional and/or Data Vault-style)</span></span></div>
	</li>
	<li>
	<div><span style="display:block;font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Data quality, reconciliation, monitoring, SLAs, and alerting</span></span></div>

</ul>

<div>&nbsp;</div>
