Who are we searching for?

We're looking for a Finance Engineer — someone who can turn manual finance and accounting processes into scalable, automated, AI-supported workflows. This role sits at the intersection of Finance, Accounting, Systems, Automation, and AI.

You'll work directly with our clients and their finance teams: understanding their processes, configuring tools, and building automations that make their finance operations faster, more accurate, and more insightful. Think of it as an advanced, engineering-powered evolution of a finance systems role — you won't just complete finance tasks; you'll design the systems that make finance work smarter.

Whether you're a finance professional who learned to build with AI, or an engineer who developed deep finance knowledge — if you're driven to eliminate repetitive manual work, we want you on our team!

What are your responsibilities?

• Build and improve workflows for reporting, forecasting, month-end review, reconciliations, and financial controls
• Work directly with clients: understand their finance and accounting needs, configure tools, support vendor onboarding, and own system improvements end-to-end
• Translate finance and accounting needs into system logic, automations, workflows, and documentation
• Automate repetitive finance work using AI tools, low-code tools, integrations, and internal workflows
• Connect and structure data from accounting systems, CRMs, payment tools, spreadsheets, BI tools, and data warehouses
• Build checks, controls, and validation logic to improve accuracy and reduce manual errors
• Partner with our engineering team on APIs, integrations, data pipelines, and workflow orchestration

What are the preferred requirements for the role?

• 5+ years of experience in finance systems, finance operations, automation, or engineering roles within complex multi-stakeholder or enterprise environments
• 1+ year of hands-on experience building AI-powered automations, agents, prompts, workflows, or internal tools (Claude / Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, custom LLM builds, or similar)
• Experience with APIs, system integrations, data warehouses, and automation tools
• Strong understanding of finance and accounting processes: month-end close, reconciliations, AP / procure-to-pay, revenue, reporting, and corporate finance
• Ability to understand how financial data flows between departments and systems
• Fluent English (C1+) and excellent client-facing communication skills — you'll work directly with customers' founders and finance teams
• Strong drive to eliminate repetitive manual work
• Proactivity and high level of responsibility
• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment

Will be a plus:

• Python or other scripting experience
• Experience administering financial, accounting, billing, or ERP systems
• Experience with tools like NetSuite, QuickBooks, Xero, Stripe, Salesforce, HubSpot, Zuora, BigQuery, Snowflake, PostgreSQL, Looker, Power BI, Tableau, Zapier, Make, n8n, or Workato
• Proven impact in numbers: hours saved, manual work reduced, faster reporting, or fewer errors
• Experience working with US-based clients or startups

Reporting Structure: reporting to the Head of FP&A

Recruitment Process:

• Soft skills interview with the recruiter
• Hard skills interview with the Head of FP&A
• Test task
• Culture fit interview with the VP of Operations

Why work with us?

• Build the future of finance work — design AI-native finance operations, not just maintain them
• Rapid skills improvement (you'll work with multiple client businesses with different models and challenges)
• Growth opportunities according to our seniority grading (it comes with a compensation increase)
• Flexible schedule and time-off policy
• 18 days of paid vacation per year, paid sick leaves
