About the role:

The Accounting & Core Engineering team owns the financial logic at the center of the platform — GL structure, postings, fees, product accounting. You'll join as a Systems Analyst to define, document, and ship that logic end-to-end.

What you'll do:

1. Work at the intersection of accounting and engineering — translating financial processes (GL, postings, fees, product rules) into technical specs that development teams can build from.
2. Reverse-engineer existing solutions to find gaps, understand behavior, and formalize what's undocumented.
3. Run implementation from spec to production: testing, acceptance, and release control with finance, product, and IT stakeholders.
   

What you'll own:

1. Elicit and formalize requirements for accounting processes and financial systems, producing specs and user stories development teams can act on directly.
2. Design posting logic, GL structures, and fee mechanics for new and existing products.
3. Analyze and document systems with incomplete or missing documentation — establish what exists before defining what needs to change.
4. Coordinate across finance, product, and engineering to align requirements and resolve conflicts between business logic and technical constraints.
5. Participate in testing and acceptance, and own tasks through to production release.
   

What makes you a strong fit:

1. 2–3+ years as a System/Business Analyst.
2. Experience working with financial systems or financial processes.
3. Solid understanding of accounting principles; hands-on GL experience is a strong plus.
4. Proven decomposition and system analysis skills — you can map complex processes and find what's missing.
5. Experience coordinating requirements across multiple teams and stakeholders.
6. English B2 or above — you'll work with international stakeholders regularly.
7. Comfortable working with APIs, queues, and data exchange patterns; able to read logs and use data for issue analysis.
