## About the role

We're looking for a Finance Engineer to join our Finance team, building the data pipelines, dashboards, and automation that run the finance function and the revenue operations around it, from deal desk to sales compensation. Our goal is to operate finance as a small, senior team that runs on systems rather than headcount — and how well we do that depends on how quickly anyone here can get a trusted number on unit economics, cash burn, or technology spend and act on it.

## What they're looking for

- Strong data engineering fundamentals , including SQL, Python, warehouse modeling, and orchestration (dbt, Airflow, or equivalent)
- Measurement discipline. You define what a number is for before you build it, you stay skeptical of your own results until they reconcile, and you treat an unexplained variance as a problem rather than noise
- Experience working with financial or operational data — revenue, cost, billing, payroll, or cloud spend — and enough fluency in revenue, cost, and margin structures to model them without hand-holding
- A track record of building internal tools, dashboards, or automations that non-engineers rely on daily
- Familiarity with LLM-based agent workflows and comfort applying them to real operational processes, with a clear-eyed view of where they break
- Enthusiasm for automating existing processes — you thrive on making manual work disappear and making systems faster and more reliable
