About Our Client
Our client is building an AI-native platform for modern finance teams, automating accounting workflows from data entry through financial close.
The company has raised over $100 million in two years and serves customers ranging from startups with $5 million ARR to publicly traded companies.
The team values independent builders who move quickly, own features end to end, and thrive in a fast-growing environment.

Responsibilities

• Own customer projects from discovery and design through development, deployment, and verification.
• Build migration and integration pipelines using Temporal that are idempotent, resumable, and auditable.
• Model and load accounting data into PostgreSQL, reconciling it against customers' existing systems.
• Develop internal tools to automate recurring tasks.
• Bring insights from customer projects into the core product and turn repeatable solutions into permanent capabilities.
• Reduce the time between a customer request and a shipped solution.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience independently shipping production full-stack software end to end.
• Strong experience with Django and Django REST Framework.
• Deep PostgreSQL knowledge beyond ORM defaults, including query plans and migrations against live customer data.

• Experience with third-party APIs, webhooks, rate limits, and reconciling data between systems.
• Ability to explain technical constraints to non-technical finance stakeholders.
• High ownership, self-direction, and comfort with ambiguity and rapidly changing requirements.

Nice to Have

• Accounting, ERP, or fintech knowledge, including double-entry bookkeeping, chart of accounts, financial close, AP/AR, and revenue recognition.
• Previous forward-deployed, applied engineering, or special-projects experience.
• Sound judgment about when to write a script versus build a lasting system.
