• Design and evolve double-entry ledger models, transaction lifecycles, and reconciliation frameworks across multiple products
• Build and maintain systems that reconcile internal financial records with external partners such as banks and payment processors
• Partner closely with Accounting, Finance, Product, and Data teams to translate financial rules into scalable technical systems
• Establish engineering standards for data integrity, observability, system recovery, and operational resilience

• Experience designing systems with strict requirements for auditability, traceability, and reliability
• Ability to partner with Accounting and Finance stakeholders and translate domain requirements into technical solutions
