<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>From Complexity to Clarity</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>Savant is growing fast&mdash;and with growth comes complexity.</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>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.</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>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.</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>That&rsquo;s where you come in.</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>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.</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>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.</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>What You&rsquo;ll Be Building</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>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.</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>This is a hands‑on, senior role for someone who can step in, make architectural decisions, and execute with confidence.</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>You&rsquo;ll be working on things like:</div>

<ul>
	<li>
	<div>Production data pipelines integrating wealth platforms (Tamarac, eMoney, Salesforce FSC, tax tools, AI notetaking tools, and more)</div>
	</li>
	<li>
	<div>API‑based and file‑based ingestion patterns (REST, SFTP, vendor extracts, near‑real‑time feeds)</div>
	</li>
	<li>
	<div>Curated, analytics‑ready datasets (dimensional and/or Data Vault-style)</div>
	</li>
	<li>
	<div>Data quality, reconciliation, monitoring, SLAs, and alerting</div>
	</li>
	<li>
	<div>Secure, compliant data movement and governance (lineage, access controls, retention)</div>
	</li>
	<li>
	<div>Preparing structured and unstructured data to support:</div>

	<ul>
		<li>
		<div>AI &amp; ML initiatives</div>
		</li>
		<li>
		<div>Vectorized content pipelines</div>
		</li>
		<li>
		<div>Retrieval‑Augmented Generation (RAG) workflows</div>
		</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
</ul>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>This role sits at the intersection of data engineering, AI enablement, and real business impact.</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>How You&rsquo;ll Work</div>

<ul>
	<li>
	<div>Team: You&rsquo;ll be part of the Data Science &amp; AI team, reporting directly to the Director.</div>
	</li>
	<li>
	<div>Collaboration: You&rsquo;ll work closely with partners across BI, Wealth, Compliance, Platform, and Analytics to deliver shared outcomes.</div>
	</li>
	<li>
	<div>Work Model: Hybrid, Chicago‑area based. Expect ~1 day per week in the office, with flexibility beyond that.</div>
	</li>
	<li>
	<div>Schedule: Flexible overall, but this role supports offshore teams, so occasional early mornings or late evenings may be required to collaborate across time zones.</div>
	</li>
	<li>
	<div>Leadership &amp; Ownership: There are no direct reports (yet), but mentorship and technical leadership are expected. 
	You&rsquo;ll have autonomy, support, and visibility&mdash;without micromanagement. We trust senior engineers to own outcomes, make decisions, and raise the bar.</div>
	</li>
</ul>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>How Success Is Measured</div>

<div>You&rsquo;ll know you&rsquo;re winning when:</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<ul>
	<li>
	<div>Data pipelines are reliable, monitored, and hitting SLAs</div>
	</li>
	<li>
	<div>New platforms integrate faster and cleaner than before</div>
	</li>
	<li>
	<div>Advisors spend less time navigating systems&mdash;and more time with clients</div>
	</li>
	<li>
	<div>AI and analytics teams can move faster because the data&nbsp;just works</div>
	</li>
	<li>
	<div>The platform you helped build becomes something the business depends on</div>
	</li>
</ul>
