What You Will Do

System Design & Development

• Own integration with internal systems (e.g., Salesforce, NetSuite) and external providers (e.g., banks, payment processors)

• Implement robust data flows between Client Processing, Deal Management, and Authoritative Data domains.

• Ensure data integrity across subsystems handling trust accounting, revenue posting, and contract lifecycle events.

Collaboration & Technical Execution

• Work closely with product managers, architects, and finance stakeholders to deliver end-to-end features

• Strong understanding of data modeling, transaction workflows, and secure service architecture

• Comfortable working across systems where compliance, auditability, and financial accuracy are critical

• Experience with financial systems (payments, trust accounting, GL integration, revenue recognition)

• Prior exposure to platforms with complex domain logic — deal tracking, contingent compensation, or booking systems

• Familiarity with Salesforce, NetSuite, Concur, or related business platforms

• Experience with serverless architecture and FaaS patterns

• Understanding of multi-party payments, invoicing workflows, or tax handling (e.g., 1099s, VAT)

• Familiarity with Anthropic's Claude API and AI-assisted development tools like Cursor; experience integrating LLM capabilities or shipping AI-powered features
