Who are we?

Fuelfinance is on a mission to revolutionize financial management for early-stage startups, empowering them to take control of their finances and thrive.

Who are we searching for?

Were looking for a Finance Engineer — someone who turns manual finance and accounting processes into scalable, automated, AI-supported workflows. This role sits at the intersection of Finance, Accounting, Systems, Automation, and AI.

Youll design and build customized finance systems for multiple startup and scale-up clients — leading each implementation from discovery through go-live, then supporting it long-term. Youll typically run 2–3 implementation projects at once while supporting 7–10 active customers, so comfort juggling parallel work without dropping quality is essential.

Whether youre a finance professional who learned to build with AI, or an engineer who developed deep finance knowledge — if youre driven to eliminate repetitive manual work at scale, we want you on our team.

What are your responsibilities?

  • Lead client implementations end-to-end: run discovery sessions, gather requirements, present solutions, take systems to go-live, and support customers afterward
  • Design and build finance systems following Fuel standards — reusable and maintainable, not one-off fixes
  • Build and improve workflows for reporting, forecasting, month-end review, reconciliations, and financial controls
  • Automate repetitive finance work using AI tools, low-code platforms (Make, n8n, Zapier, Workato), integrations, and internal workflows
  • Connect and structure data from accounting systems, CRMs, payment tools, spreadsheets, BI tools, and data warehouses
  • Build checks, controls, and validation logic to improve accuracy and reduce manual errors
  • Balance multiple active implementations and ongoing support simultaneously while meeting deadlines and maintaining quality
  • Partner with Engineering on APIs, integrations, data pipelines, and workflow orchestration

What are the preferred requirements for the role?

  • 5+ years implementing finance systems, automations, or finance process improvements — with clear ownership of what you built and its business impact
  • Hands-on experience building production-ready AI workflows, agents, prompts, or automations that solved real business problems (Claude / Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, custom LLM builds, or similar) 
  • Confident with automation platforms: Make, n8n, Zapier, Workato, or similar
  • Practical experience with APIs and integrations — you can explain authentication, webhooks, API limitations, and integration architecture, and have built or configured integrations yourself
  • Strong understanding of finance and accounting: month-end close, reconciliations, AP/AR, procure-to-pay, revenue, budgeting, reporting, and financial controls
  • Understands how financial data moves between operational systems 
  • Familiar with enterprise systems as an integrated set: ERPs, CRMs, BI platforms, payment systems, and data warehouses
  • Solid AI/LLM fundamentals: prompt engineering, context management, memory, and agent orchestration
  • Experience working directly with customers — running discovery, presenting solutions, supporting after go-live
  • Track record managing multiple projects at once without losing visibility or missing deadlines
  • Fluent English (C1+) and excellent client-facing communication — youll work directly with founders and finance teams
  • Systems thinking, ownership, learning agility, and comfort solving ambiguous problems without complete specs


Will be a plus:

  • Knowledge of Python, SQL
  • Data warehouses: BigQuery, Snowflake, PostgreSQL, etc.
  • Enterprise architecture awareness: security, scalability, governance, integration patterns
  • Experience administering financial, accounting, billing, or ERP systems
  • Experience with tools like NetSuite, QuickBooks, Xero, Stripe, Salesforce, HubSpot, Zuora, Looker, Power BI, Tableau
  • Experience with US-based clients or startups

Reporting Structure: Reporting to the FP&A Team Lead.

Recruitment Process:

  • Soft skills interview with the recruiter
  • Test task
  • Hard skills interview with the Head of FP&A
  • Culture fit interview with the Head of FP&A/VP of Operations


Why work with us?

  • Help scale Fuels platform across dozens of growing companies — making enterprise-grade finance accessible to startups
  • Rapid skills growth: gain exposure to many business models and industries while progressing toward Senior or Enterprise Finance Engineer
  • Growth opportunities according to our seniority grading (comes with a compensation increase)
  • Flexible schedule and time-off policy
  • 18 days of paid vacation per year, paid sick leaves
