About the role:

Ironclad is hiring a Senior Finance Systems & AI Engineer to own the data infrastructure, system integrations, and AI automation that power our Finance teams. This role sits within the Finance organization and reports directly to the VP of FP&A with a dotted line to the Controller.

What you'll be doing:

Finance Systems Architecture & Integration

• Design and maintain reliable, low-manual-touch integrations across the Finance stack using iPaaS platforms or equivalent
• Partner with Data Engineering on BigQuery pipelines that serve as the analytics layer for Finance
• Own the Finance systems roadmap end-to-end, from strategic design to implementation
• Define and enforce data governance standards: field definitions, hierarchy taxonomy, department and cost-center mapping, and change-control SLAs

EPM Platform Ownership

• Own FP&A planning platform end-to-end: model architecture, formula logic, dimension hierarchies, integration design, long-range planning (LRP), rolling forecasts, full-year budgeting, and headcount planning
• Configure EPM so each FP&A analyst owns their planning area independently with minimal admin bottleneck

Financial Close Automation

• Partner with the Controller to identify and automate the highest-cost manual steps in the monthly close: reconciliations, journal entry support, accrual calculations, and intercompany matching
• Build automated pipelines that produce a reliable, fully-loaded P&L forecast each month

AI Automation & Agentic Workflows

• Identify high-ROI automation opportunities across the FP&A and close cycle like variance analysis, anomaly detection, reconciliation; build agents and pipelines to eliminate them
• Design human-in-the-loop controls and auditability frameworks so automated outputs are trustworthy and SOX-compliant
• Build using the right tools for the job: Python for prototyping and scripting automation logic, BigQuery + dbt for data transformation

What we're looking for:

• 5+ years in Finance and 3+ Years in Finance Systems, Business Applications, or FP&A Engineering at a high-growth technology company, with demonstrated ownership of outcomes rather than tickets
• AI-first mindset and hands-on experience: you've built or deployed AI/LLM-powered automation in a Finance or operations context
• Proficiency in Python (or equivalent) for scripting, prototyping automation logic, and quality-checking AI-generated outputs
• Deep hands-on experience with at least one modern EPM platform including data model design, formula logic, and integration configuration
• Working knowledge of NetSuite (or equivalent ERP) including chart of accounts, dimensions, reporting structures, and API/integration patterns

Base Salary Range: $130,000.00 - $163,000.00

The base salary range represents the minimum and maximum of the salary range for this position based at our San Francisco headquarters. The actual base salary offered for this position will depend on numerous factors, including individual proficiency, anticipated performance, and the location of the selected candidate. Our base salary is just one component of Ironclad’s competitive total rewards package, which also includes equity awards (a new hire grant, along with opportunities for additional awards throughout your tenure), competitive health and wellness benefits, and a commitment to career growth and development.

US Full-Time Employee Benefits at Ironclad:

• 100% health coverage for employees (medical, dental, and vision), and 75% coverage for dependents with buy-up plan options available
• Market-leading leave policies, including gender-neutral parental leave and compassionate leave
• Family forming support through Maven for you and your partner
• Paid time off - take the time you need, when you need it
• Monthly stipends for wellbeing, hybrid work, and (if applicable) cell phone use
• Mental health support through Modern Health, including therapy, coaching, and digital tools
• Pre-tax commuter benefits (US Employees)
• 401(k) plan with Fidelity with employer match (US Employees)
• Regular team events to connect, recharge, and have fun
• And most importantly: the opportunity to help build the company you want to work at
