Job description

Company: Counto

Location: Singapore

Type: Full-time

About Counto

Counto is one of Singapore's fastest-growing AI-powered accounting and tax firms. We combine deep domain expertise with proprietary technology to automate tax compliance and financial operations for thousands of businesses. We are backed by top-tier investors and are rewriting the playbook for corporate services.

The Opportunity

While Counto is already a leader in the market, we aren't stopping there. We are currently developing a new, stealth-mode financial operations platform -a "skunkworks" project designed to fundamentally change how accounting firms and enterprises manage complex workflows.

The Role

You will operate at the intersection of Product, Engineering, and Business Development . You are the technical face of this new platform, responsible for configuring the system for our beta partners and ensuring the technology solves real business pains.

Your Mission

• Architect the Workflows : You will use our new low-code engine to build complex "SOP Playbooks" for early adopters. You will be configuring webhooks, defining logic rules, and scripting automations (JS / JSON) to connect our platform with tools like Stripe, Xero, and local banks.
• The "Forward-Deployed" Engineer : You will join the founders on calls with potential beta partners (other accounting firms and mid-sized SMEs). Your job is to translate their messy, manual Excel spreadsheets into elegant, automated workflows on our platform.
• Rapid Prototyping : When a prospect asks, "Can it do X?", you build a proof-of-concept using our API and rules engine to show them "Yes, it can."
• Feedback Loop : You will be the primary bridge between the market and our core engineering team, identifying bugs and prioritizing features for the next sprint.

Who You Are

• The "Technical" Accountant : You understand the fundamentals of accounting (General Ledger, AP / AR, Reconciliation) but you are bored by manual data entry. You want to automate it.
• A Hacker at Heart : You are comfortable reading API documentation, writing SQL queries, or hacking together a script in JavaScript / Python to solve a problem. You know what a JSON payload looks like.
• Business Savvy : You can sit in a room with a CFO or a Business Owner, understand their operational bottlenecks, and explain how our technology solves them without using overwhelming jargon.
• Singapore Context : You are familiar with the local compliance landscape (IRAS tax rules, GST, ACRA filing) and the typical tech stack used by Singapore SMEs (Xero, Quickbooks, Osome, Aspire, etc.).

Requirements

• 2-5 years of experience in SaaS Implementation, Pre-Sales Engineering, or Technical Product Management .
• Alternative Background : An Accountant / Finance professional who pivoted into Tech / Coding.
• Experience with integration tools (Zapier, Pipedream, Postman) is a strict requirement.
• Strong communication skills-you enjoy the "chase" of winning a client as much as the "build."
• Based in Singapore.

Why this role is different

• Intrapreneurship : You get the stability of joining an established, revenue-generating company (Counto), but the excitement and equity upside of working on a brand-new "Day 1" product.
• AI-Native : This new platform is built on the latest LLM agents and orchestration models. You will be implementing technology that most people are only tweeting about.
