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).
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
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
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
