About The Position

The Financial Accounting team is responsible for generating and delivering all accounting entries produced by the Pismo platform to our clients through event‑driven architecture. Every financial movement — such as purchases, withdrawals, interest accruals, fees, and adjustments — must be accurately translated into accounting entries based on each client’s specific configuration and accounting rules. The squad’s mission is to ensure that the platform is fully prepared for all financial events, supports highly flexible and configurable accounting scripts, and scales reliably as transaction volume and client complexity grow. This role offers the opportunity to work at the intersection of financial systems, distributed architectures, and high‑throughput platforms.
