Why this role matters

• Work on a core product area for the next era of AI.

What the employer asks for

• You want to work in a team and for a tech company where it’s energetic, growth-focused, and every day feels purposeful.
• You have an in-depth understanding of payroll regulations spanning multiple countries, including Singapore, India and Indonesia would be ideal but not all necessary.
• You love to delve into data, be it timesheets or leave accruals.
• Working knowledge of setting up, configuring, and deploying new payroll systems and implementing payroll in a new country.
• Proficiency in using payroll software and systems. Experience with an outsource provider, Workday, or similar platforms is preferred.
• Intermediate proficiency in Excel or Google Sheets, eager to learn how to manage large datasets and create formulas and functions.
• Exposure to Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) requirements as applicable to the payroll function.
• Your keen eye for detail is matched only by your organizational prowess.

Where the uncertainty is

• Onsite and hybrid expectations may matter more than the headline location suggest.

Evidence this role rewards

• Hands-on comfort with modern AI or multimodal product stacks.
• Leadership experience in fast-moving or high-ownership teams.
