Sr AI Engineer - Data

📋 Description

• • Build the data foundation behind financial products used by credit unions and their members.
• • Meridianlink Coach builds tools that help credit unions support members at important moments in their financial lives.
• • We turn complex credit information into clear, useful next steps.
• • Because our products handle sensitive financial data, we move quickly without compromising safety or trust.
• • HOW WE WORK
• • AI agents are part of our engineering workflow, not an experiment.
• • They handle meaningful implementation work; engineers set direction, review the output, and own what ships.
• • You will use our agents, improve them, and help build what comes next.
• • WHAT YOU'LL DO
• • Own data-heavy features from design through production, planning pragmatic solutions for rising traffic and data volume.
• • Improve data models, pipelines, migrations, and multi-tenant systems.
• • Work in our TypeScript monorepo with Hono, Drizzle/Postgres, and AWS infrastructure managed with SST/Pulumi across Lambda, SQS, EventBridge, and S3.
• • Experience with Terraform, AWS CDK, or similar tools transfers well.
• • You may also touch React 19 and React Router 7 when work crosses into the product.
• • Monitor production, investigate issues, and fix root causes.
• • Help the team make clear, practical technical decisions.
• • WHAT YOU BRING
• • 5+ years building, scaling, and running production software.
• • Strong backend engineering skills in a typed language, including experience integrating third-party and public APIs such as OpenAI or Anthropic Claude.
• • Experience with relational data modeling, migrations, and production data systems.
• • Sound judgment when working with sensitive data and high-impact changes.
• • Current, hands-on experience using AI coding tools and reviewing their output.
• • Clear written communication, product sense, and comfort owning work end to end.
• • Experience with TypeScript, Postgres, serverless AWS, or event-driven systems is useful; exact framework overlap is not required.
• • If you enjoy turning complex data problems into simple, dependable systems - and want to help define AI-native engineering - we'd love to hear from you.
