Basis AI•New York, NY

About The Position

As the accounting industry enters a new era defined by AI-native workflows, the ability to show — not just tell — has never mattered more. As a Sales Engineer on our Accounting Solutions team, you'll be the engine behind how we demonstrate and deliver that promise to prospects and customers. This is not a client-facing role. You'll work entirely behind the scenes, building the demo infrastructure, custom procedures, and enablement content that power our sales motion. You'll sit at the intersection of accounting expertise and technical execution — someone equally comfortable in a trial balance as in a Python script.

Requirements

2–4 years in accounting, audit, tax, or a related finance function
Hands-on experience automating tasks (Excel, Python, or similar)
Strong writer — can distill complex accounting concepts into clear instruction sets
Technically curious — picks up new software and platforms quickly
Detail-oriented and self-directed; comfortable managing multiple projects without much hand-holding
Startup mindset — thrives in ambiguity, moves fast, owns outcomes

Nice To Haves

Experience with accounting software (QBO, NetSuite, Xero, Sage, etc.)
Experience across multiple practice lines (accounting/finance, audit, and/or tax)
Prior experience in a sales support, solutions, or enablement role
