About the company
Our client is a financial technology company.
The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Work on-site inside partner accounting practices to study how their bookkeeping and close processes run, then build and launch software that automates those tasks on live client records. The role also covers helping staff adopt each tool until it becomes a routine part of their work, and contributing to acquisition due diligence.
What you'll do
- Spend most of your time in partner accounting practices with deployment specialists, mapping bookkeeping and close routines with firm staff to pinpoint where effort is wasted.
- Create automated tools that run on real client records inside firms' bookkeeping systems, including reading documents, matching bank activity, classifying transactions, driving browser-based agents and connecting to older desktop software without modern interfaces.
- Make each tool a daily habit for firm employees by monitoring workarounds and manual corrections, then refining until they depend on it.
- Design each tool so it can be reused at the next firm and contribute shared components back to the core platform.
- Support the acquisitions team in due diligence by assessing a target firm's systems and data and identifying where automation can improve margins after a deal.
What we're looking for
- Background building software as an engineer, embedded-delivery specialist, product developer or AI application developer.
- Track record of putting a language-model, agent or document-processing system into production use, covering construction, evaluation and launch.
- Willing to spend five days a week on site in New York and to visit outside accounting practices often.
- Undergraduate degree from a leading university, with a BS or MS completed straight through; a graduate degree alone does not qualify.
Bonus points
- Familiarity with bookkeeping, tax or financial software, or with rolling out tools for finance departments.
- Prior hands-on work with end users who lack technical backgrounds, such as in rollout or client-facing startup positions.
- Working knowledge of Python, TypeScript and SQL.
Compensation and benefits
- Base salary: USD 200,000 to 225,000 per year
- Equity
- Relocation support
Location and work model
- New York, NY, United States
- On-site, 5 days per week in office
- Full-time
