Qualifications
Two things matter most, and we weigh them above everything else:
• Strong knowledge of IFRS or US GAAP
• 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.
• Hands-on experience building automations with Python or JavaScript/TypeScript (either is fine)
• Daily, hands-on use of AI coding tools, ideally Claude Code, with solid engineering basics, shipping working scripts and agents
• Ability to run local scripts and schedule jobs (cron, task schedulers or CI pipelines)
• Strong knowledge of IFRS or US GAAP, shown by ACCA, ACA, CPA or equivalent, or by several years of hands-on accounting experience
• Experience with core processes: AP, AR, bank reconciliation, month-end close
• Comfort working with APIs and MCP servers, CSV/Excel data and basic SQL
• Care for accuracy, controls and audit trails
Nice to have
• Experience in multi-entity or multi-currency environments, including intercompany and consolidation
• Experience reconciling payment processor statements across multiple jurisdictions and currencies
• Experience with shared cost services that invoice group companies, including complex expense splits and automated invoice generation
• Experience with an ERP and its API (which ERP does not matter)
• Experience building AI agents and agentic workflows, including tool use and MCP servers
• Knowledge of VAT/GST and e-invoicing rules in several jurisdictions
• Experience with Git, testing and basic cloud deployment
• Prior experience in a finance transformation or accounting operations team
• Additional languages, where our entities operate in non-English markets
