About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Build and own core services that ingest PSP settlement and transactional data at scale, and translate it accurately into our general ledger and billing systems
Design and deliver the infrastructure that turns bespoke monetization deal terms into configuration, replacing point solutions with durable, auditable systems
Rapidly build and iterate tools to boost the quality and speed of interactions with our finance data, working AI-first by default
Partner with product engineering teams across the business to shape how transactional and settlement data gets modeled and exposed at the source - pushing for the data contracts we need instead of reverse-engineering what's convenient upstream
Communicate and collaborate with different stakeholders - Finance, Accounting, Data Scientists, Analysts, Data Platform Engineers, and Product - to institute best practices aimed at managing data quality
Maintain a high standard of accuracy, completeness, and operational excellence across the platform, in a SOX controlled environment
Create clear definitions and documentation of our data sources and systems, making ownership crystal clear
