About the role:
You’ll define, document, and ship the financial logic behind Salmon’s platform — GL structure, postings, fees, and product accounting — as a Systems Analyst in Accounting & Core Engineering.

What you’ll do:

• Translate financial processes (GL, postings, fees, product rules) into technical specs that development teams build from directly
• Reverse-engineer existing solutions to find gaps and formalize what’s undocumented
• Run implementation from spec to production, with testing, acceptance, and release control alongside finance, product, and IT

What you’ll own:

• Requirements and specs for accounting processes and financial systems, written as user stories development teams can act on directly
• Posting logic, GL structures, and fee mechanics for new and existing products
• Analysis and documentation of systems with incomplete or missing documentation — you establish what exists before defining what needs to change
• Alignment across finance, product, and engineering, including conflicts between business logic and technical constraints
• Testing and acceptance, and every task through to production release

What makes you a strong fit:

• 2–3+ years as a System or Business Analyst, including work with financial systems or financial processes
• Solid understanding of accounting principles, including the general ledger
• Proven decomposition and system analysis skills: you can map complex processes and find what’s missing
• Experience coordinating requirements across multiple teams and stakeholders
• Working knowledge of APIs, queues, and data exchange patterns; you read logs and use data to analyze issues
• English B2 or above

What we offer:

Ownership and flexibility

• Stock option plan — four-year vesting with a 25% cliff after the first year
• Fully remote work with core collaboration hours from 12:00 to 6:00 PM Manila time (UTC+8)
• Company-provided tools and equipment

Health and time off

• Medical insurance support for you and your family through co-funding or reimbursement, depending on your location and subject to policy limits
• Access to an internal mental health support specialist
• 22 vacation days, Philippine public holidays, and 15 sick days

Growth and team experience

• Opportunities to learn and share your expertise through internal expert meetups, external conferences, speaking opportunities, and industry publications
• Company-sponsored trips to Manila to meet and work with your team in person
• High-performing teams can earn a dedicated beach house week in Southeast Asia

We believe strong teams are built by people with different backgrounds, experiences, and points of view. Salmon is an equal opportunity employer, and we make hiring decisions based on skills, experience, and potential.
