AI Engineer (Finance Systems & Integrations)

Part-Time (20 Hours/Week) | Remote | Opportunity to Scale Full-Time

About the company

They are a modern fractional CFO firm built for the next generation of consumer brands.

Rather than relying solely on spreadsheets or generic FP&A software, they combine experienced finance professionals with custom AI-powered tools to deliver faster, more insightful financial operations for growing businesses.

Their clients are primarily emerging CPG, eCommerce, and consumer brands that need sophisticated finance support without building an internal finance department.

They are building proprietary technology—including automated cash flow forecasting, financial reporting, workflow automation, and AI-enabled finance tools—that will eventually become products in their own right.

They are looking for an experienced AI Engineer who wants to help build that future.

The Opportunity

This is not a traditional software engineering role.

You'll work directly alongside the founder to build the internal operating system powering a modern finance consultancy. You'll create tools that automate financial workflows, integrate financial systems, improve analyst productivity, and eventually become customer-facing software products.

You'll have significant ownership over architecture and technical direction while collaborating closely with finance professionals who deeply understand the business problems you're solving.

If you enjoy building practical AI applications—not just experimenting with prompts—but solving real operational problems with software, this role is for you.

What You'll Be Responsible For

Build AI-powered internal applications used by the finance team
Develop financial tools such as automated 13-week cash flow forecasting
Integrate with platforms including:
- QuickBooks
- Shopify
- Banking APIs
- Financial data providers
Design clean data pipelines and financial data models
Build workflow automation and ticketing systems for finance requests
Create tools that allow FP&A professionals to deliver work faster
Ensure financial data quality through validation and reconciliation logic
Translate product specifications into scalable technical solutions
Recommend better architectures and technical improvements as the platform evolves
Collaborate daily with the founder to rapidly prototype and ship new functionality

What We're Looking For

Required

5+ years of software engineering experience
Experience building production AI-enabled applications
Strong experience with APIs and third-party integrations
Experience working with structured financial or accounting data
Ability to understand finance workflows—not just software development
Strong product thinking and problem-solving ability
Comfortable working in an early-stage startup with ambiguity
Excellent written and spoken English
Able to work EST business hours

Nice to Have

Experience with QuickBooks APIs
Shopify integrations
Banking APIs (Plaid, Stripe Financial Connections, etc.)
Accounting or FP&A software experience
Workflow automation platforms
Experience building internal operational tools
Background working with finance, accounting, or consulting businesses

The Ideal Candidate

You don't simply build what you're told.

You understand the underlying business problem, ask thoughtful questions, and propose better technical solutions.

You enjoy working closely with founders, moving quickly, and building software that immediately creates value.

You're equally comfortable discussing architecture, debugging integrations, or improving internal workflows.

Why Join

Build a finance technology platform from the ground up
Work directly with an experienced founder and former CPG operator
High ownership and influence over product direction
Flexible remote environment
Opportunity to grow into a full-time leadership position as the business scales
Build software that powers both internal operations and future SaaS products
