Director, Financial Systems Engineering

Role overview

A service-contract business needs every dollar traceable from inbound merchant data, through operational and analytics databases, into the accounting system, and back out to obligor, reinsurer, and audit reporting. This Director-level role owns the financial systems and automated controls that keep that traceability correct, tested, and auditable as the company scales. It is a hands-on technical leadership position: the hire owns SQL and dbt models in version control, reviews changes to the logic that produces reported numbers, and leads a team of individual contributors reporting into Engineering leadership.

Responsibilities

- Own end-to-end reconciliation across contracts sold, merchant invoicing, claims paid, and servicing reimbursements, building automated tie-outs with alerting across inbound merchant data, operational databases, the analytics warehouse, the accounting system, and external reporting. - Own invoicing logic and the programmatic controls that keep contracted commercial terms accurately reflected in what is billed. - Own the financial data models in the shared dbt repository, including revenue recognition on maturing multi-year contracts and claims-cost tracking, applying version-control standards, tests, PR review, and change control. - Lead the exception and reconciliation-break process, including triage, resolution ownership, root-cause tracking, and SLAs on detection latency so findings drive systemic improvements. - Partner with Data and merchant integration teams on ingestion and mapping, facilitating internal audits of how inbound merchant formats translate to internal representations. - Prepare obligor, reinsurer, and audit reporting on contracts, liabilities, and claims, partnering with the Controller on review and presentation, and align with Revenue/Go-to-Market on deal structuring and merchant escalations.

Requirements

- Advanced SQL and dimensional data modeling on a cloud data warehouse, with accountability for the transformation logic behind financial reporting rather than consumption of it. - Analytics engineering experience owning financial or analytical dbt (or equivalent) models under version control, with testing, PR review, and CI. - Hands-on experience designing order-to-cash systems and automated reconciliation controls at scale. - Deep revenue recognition expertise, including ownership of revenue recognition logic on multi-year service contracts, and the ability to document and defend technical accounting positions with external auditors. - NetSuite functional depth across billing, invoicing, and revenue, including segment and subsidiary attribution, with comfort reasoning about upstream system integrations. - Demonstrated ability to lead individual contributors in a technical or analytics engineering function, paired with strong written communication and a record of building alignment across Finance, Accounting, and Engineering.

Nice to have

- Experience with merchant reconciliation, warranty or service contract programs, or obligor and reinsurer reporting. - Python for data validation or reconciliation tooling.

Benefits and work setup

- Targeted base salary range of $225,000 to $250,000 per year salaried. - Full medical, dental, and vision benefits, equity in a fast-growing startup, flexible paid time off, and a 401(k) with financial guidance. - No immigration-related sponsorship available for this role.
