Job Description

• Build and maintain automations that replace manual financial operations, including sales tax filings, registrations, reconciliations, and exception handling. • Design workflows that combine browser automation (e.g. Selenium/Playwright-style tooling), internal APIs, and AI-assisted decision logic. • Translate ambiguous operational processes into deterministic, repeatable automation steps. • Investigate failures in automated workflows, diagnose root causes, and implement fixes to improve reliability. • Collaborate with operations teams to understand how work is done today, then design systems that remove the boring parts. • Use AI tools pragmatically to accelerate development, debugging, and iteration. • Improve observability and auditing so automated processes are explainable, traceable, and trustworthy.

Job Requirements

  • Strong debugging and systems thinking skills: You enjoy answering “why did this fail?” and “how do we prevent it?”
  • Comfortable working with:
  • browser automation tools (Selenium, Playwright, or similar), or
  • workflow / orchestration systems (n8n, Zapier-style tools, internal engines), or
  • glue code that connects multiple systems together
  • Ability to reason about data correctness, state, retries, and failure modes.
  • Comfortable learning new internal tools and adapting to evolving systems.
  • Clear communicator who can explain what a system is doing and why.
  • Bonus Points For
  • Experience in finance, payments, accounting, tax, or compliance-heavy domains.
  • Experience automating interactions with third-party web portals.
