About the Job

Requirements

  • A Bachelor's or Master's degree in a quantitative or technical field such as Statistics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Economics, Physics, or Engineering is required.
  • At least eight years of relevant experience spanning data, modeling, forecasting, financial-planning technology, or software-enabled analytical products is required.
  • Candidates must have a track record of owning existing operational models, maintaining and improving them for business-management use, and scaling analytical solutions for sustained production.
  • Candidates must have strong quantitative judgment and command of practical modeling techniques for messy data, limited history, changing business conditions, and operational constraints.
  • Experience building independent challenger models to assess business projections, test assumptions, and explain differences is required.
  • Candidates must have experience building and evaluating forecasts, selecting suitable methods, diagnosing failure modes, and handling structural change, uncertainty, and unstable real-world series.
  • Candidates must have strong SQL, data-modeling, pipeline, orchestration, quality, and lineage skills across relational, analytical, and cloud data platforms.
  • Candidates must have advanced Python and R skills, sound software-development practices, and hands-on experience taking analytical workflows into scalable cloud production.
  • Candidates must have working knowledge of agentic systems, including tool integration, orchestration, evaluation, state or context management, and appropriate controls.
  • Candidates must have demonstrated experience operating from a central function and delivering for multiple divisions, along with service orientation and stakeholder-management skills to reconcile competing needs, mediate trade-offs, build consensus, and connect technical decisions to shared business outcomes.

Responsibilities

  • Build reusable data pipelines and data products across databases, lakehouse and cloud platforms, Anaplan, and other enterprise systems; improve data quality, lineage, orchestration, and performance.
  • Maintain and improve existing operational models used for business management; strengthen existing architectures and ensure new development accounts for production needs.
  • Partner with modelers from the prototype stage to turn complex statistical and machine-learning models into reliable, maintainable products with appropriate testing, controls, monitoring, documentation, and operational support for forecasting, planning, and scenario design.
  • Develop and support practical financial-planning models, focusing on pipeline-style models such as headcount projections that can serve as independent challenger models to test business forecasts and identify assumptions, risks, and alternative outcomes.
  • Support production economic scenario generation and other dependency-graph-heavy modeling workflows, making calculation graphs scalable, observable, reproducible, and accessible to downstream teams.
  • Apply agentic development selectively to improve data discovery, model workflows, controls, scenario analysis, and reporting, with appropriate evaluation and safeguards.
  • Set pragmatic technical direction and represent a central function across multiple divisions by understanding distinct needs, managing senior stakeholders, mediating competing priorities, and building consensus around reusable solutions.
  • Review designs and code, mentor practitioners, and maintain a responsive, service-oriented partnership with Finance, Risk, Engineering, and business teams.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience with financial-planning and driver-based models is particularly relevant.
  • Experience with lakehouse architectures, Spark, or Databricks is a plus.
  • Rust is a plus.
  • Experience connecting models and data to Anaplan or similar planning platforms is desirable.
  • Experience scaling economic scenario generators, simulations, or other dependency-heavy calculation workflows is a major plus.

About the Company

Goldman Sachs

Advises on mergers and trades stocks and bonds

Goldman Sachs advises companies and governments on mergers, raises money for them by selling their stocks and bonds, and trades securities for big investors such as hedge funds and pension funds. It led Ford Motor's 1956 stock market debut, then the largest share sale in US history. Traders buy and sell stocks, bonds, currencies, and commodities for clients and lend them money, while bankers earn a fee on each deal they advise on or arrange. Its asset and wealth management arm invests for institutions and wealthy families and charges fees based on the money it oversees. The firm was founded in 1869, when it began brokering short-term IOUs for New York merchants, and it is based in New York City.
