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

Skills Required

  • 5+ years of experience in finance systems, finance operations, automation, or engineering roles within complex multi-stakeholder or enterprise environments
  • 1+ year 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, corporate finance
  • Ability to understand how financial data flows between departments and systems
  • Fluent English (C1+) and excellent client-facing communication skills
  • Drive to eliminate repetitive manual work, proactive, high responsibility, ability to work in a fast-paced environment
