Lead Architect, Finance Technology

What You'll Do

• Execute against a well-defined automation roadmap and accelerate it - then push it to the next level, both in what we automate and in how we build it
• Change how the work gets built - move us toward CLI-driven and agentic development and away from manual, point-and-click configuration, raising the technical bar for the whole team along the way
• Build automations and AI agents across accounting, AP, tax, and the close - from inbox triage and invoice coding through reconciliations, flux analysis, accruals, and tax workflows
• Help implement our close-management tooling (e.g. Ledge), including its NetSuite and data warehouse connections and the reliability work that makes an agentic close trustworthy
• Configure and extend NetSuite, Zip, and the integration layer that ties our finance systems together, making sound calls on where logic should live across ERP, integration layer, and code
• Work directly with accountants to understand their workflows, translate that into automation, and earn their trust in the systems you put in front of them
• Make build-or-buy decisions and work with technology vendors, constantly weighing what to build in-house against what to bring in
• Raise the bar for this work through design reviews, monitoring, and pragmatic operational practices - especially around the reliability and auditability that financial systems demand
• Raise the bar for everyone around you - through how you build, code, design reviews, and helping interview and grow the people on the team

What You Have

• 5+ years of experience
• Dangerous on accounting without being a career accountant - you understand how a controllership runs (accounting, AP, tax, the close) and can spot where the toil is and how to kill it
• Intensely dissatisfied with the status quo - manual, repetitive process genuinely bothers you, and you can't leave it alone. You're the person who automates their own work, then comes for everyone else's
• A fast and fearless learner - you move into unfamiliar tools, systems, and problems quickly and come out the other side dangerous
• Relentless automation and AI curiosity - you stay on top of what AI can do, you've built or experimented with agents and automations yourself, and you have opinions about where it's genuinely useful
• A roll-up-your-sleeves builder's instinct - you'll dig into system config, integration tools, scripting, and agent-building yourself, teaching yourself the parts you weren't trained for rather than waiting for someone else
• Ambitious and opinionated - you bring a strong point of view, push for the better solution, and aren't satisfied with how things are done today
• You're comfortable operating without a playbook - defining the approach, the architecture, and the roadmap simultaneously
• Ability to break down complex technical and financial concepts and explain them clearly, holding your own with an accountant, an engineer, and a CFO in the same day
• Comfort operating as a senior individual contributor - setting direction, making the calls, and leading through influence rather than headcount
• Preferably hands-on experience with some of the following: AI agents and LLM-based workflows in a production setting, including the guardrails and monitoring they require, Accounting close and finance automation tooling, and the integrations that connect them
