Learn more about our story at: com/about-us/ ABOUT THE ROLE We are hiring an Accounting Automation Engineer to replace manual accounting work across a multi-entity, multi-country enterprise, using Claude Code and agentic AI. You will use Claude Code and agentic AI, plus Python or JavaScript/TypeScript, to automate accounts payable, accounts receivable, reconciliations, month-end close and the wider day-to-day accounting operation. You need strong IFRS or US GAAP knowledge to get the numbers right, because an automation that posts wrong entries is worse than no automation. We build agentic AI systems and AI agents, not fixed step-by-step workflows.

Experience with rule-based workflow builders such as n8n or Zapier is not relevant to this role. Titles we will consider: Accounting Automation Engineer, Finance Engineer, Financial Systems Engineer, Technical Accountant (with engineering background), Accounting Systems Manager (with engineering background). KEY RESPONSIBILITIES The goal is to automate the repeatable core of enterprise accounting, with human review kept only where judgment is needed. Accounts payable - Invoice capture and data extraction from PDFs and email, using AI where useful - Vendor matching, coding suggestions, and 2-way/3-way PO matching - Duplicate invoice detection and approval routing - Payment run preparation and vendor statement reconciliation Accounts receivable - Invoice generation and delivery - Cash application and bank receipt matching - Aging reports, dunning and collections reminders - Credit note handling and bad debt/ECL provision support Reconciliations - Bank and card reconciliations across all accounts and currencies - Balance sheet account reconciliations (prepayments, accruals, deferred revenue, fixed assets) - Intercompany and subledger-to-GL reconciliations - Exception reports that flag only the items a human needs to review Month-end close - Close checklist tracking and scheduled reminders - Recurring, accrual, prepayment and amortization journals - Depreciation runs and FX revaluation - Trial balance checks, flux/variance analysis, and draft commentary - Management reporting packs General accounting operations - Expense report and employee reimbursement checks - Chart of accounts and master data hygiene - Audit support: evidence collection, PBC lists, sample extraction - Data pipelines between ERP, banks, payment platforms and spreadsheets QUALIFICATIONS Two things matter most, and we weigh them above everything else: 1. Strong knowledge of IFRS or US GAAP 2. Real experience with AI coding tools, ideally Claude Code, backed by solid engineering basics We accept two paths: an accountant who learned to code, or an engineer who learned accounting. Both are judged on the same practical test.
