Whop is looking for a hands-on Finance Systems Engineer to build the systems and automations that help Accounting close faster, operate with fewer manual touchpoints, and maintain strong financial controls as the company scales.

You will work directly with accounting process owners to understand how transactions enter our systems, flow into the general ledger, reconcile to source data, and become financial reporting. You will then redesign inefficient processes and build reliable, production-ready solutions.

This role owns outcomes, not just tickets. You will take projects from problem discovery and technical design through implementation, testing, deployment, monitoring, documentation, and user adoption.

Accounting will retain ownership of accounting policy, judgments, and final financial sign-off. You will own the systems, data flows, automation, and technical controls that enable those decisions.

Map the close process, identify its critical path, and build a prioritized automation roadmap.

Automate recurring reconciliations, journal-entry support, accrual calculations, cash activity, intercompany matching, prepaid and fixed-asset schedules, and close reporting.

Replace spreadsheet handoffs with controlled, repeatable workflows and exception-based review.

Build dashboards and alerts that provide real-time visibility into close status, open items, dependencies, and risk areas.

Measure close-cycle time, manual effort, exception rates, rework, and post-close adjustments to demonstrate impact.

Own the configuration, reliability, and evolution of the core finance technology stack, including our new NetSuite ERP, procure-to-pay and expense, payments and billing, payroll and HRIS, close-management, and data and reporting systems.

Design and maintain integrations using APIs, webhooks, workflow platforms, and data pipelines.

Establish clear systems of record, canonical definitions, master-data standards, and ownership for critical financial data.

Lead implementations and enhancements from requirements gathering through solution design, testing, UAT, deployment, training, and production support.

Work with Engineering and Data teams when a solution requires shared infrastructure or deeper product integration.

Build source-to-target control totals, completeness checks, duplicate detection, data validations, and automated tie-outs into financial data flows.

Maintain logging, lineage, approval history, and supporting evidence so automated processes remain understandable and auditable.

Apply disciplined access, segregation-of-duties, change-management, testing, and release practices.

Monitor integrations and workflows for failures, investigate root causes, and implement durable fixes.

Use AI where it provides measurable value, with appropriate human review, quality gates, permissions, and audit trails. Financially significant decisions should never depend on an unmonitored black box.

Translate accounting requirements into technical designs and technical constraints into clear business tradeoffs.

Maintain a transparent roadmap prioritized by time saved, financial risk, control improvement, and implementation effort.

Create architecture diagrams, data dictionaries, process documentation, operating procedures, and support playbooks.

Train Finance users and build self-service capabilities where appropriate.

Evaluate vendors and new tools, while favoring durable improvements over unnecessary additions to the technology stack.

The monthly close becomes faster and more predictable, with fewer manual handoffs and late surprises.

A growing percentage of reconciliations and close activities operate through automated, exception-based workflows.

Financial integrations are monitored, documented, and do not fail silently.

Automated outputs tie back to complete source populations and the general ledger.

The Accounting team spends less time gathering and manipulating data and more time reviewing results and resolving meaningful exceptions.

Auditors can follow system logic, approvals, data lineage, and control evidence without extensive manual reconstruction.

Finance has a clear, prioritized systems roadmap supported by measurable results.

Five or more years of experience across finance systems, business applications, ERP implementation, data engineering, or financial-process automation.

A demonstrated record of shipping automation that Finance or Accounting teams use in production.

Strong understanding of core accounting processes, including the general ledger, debits and credits, journal entries, reconciliations, record-to-report, procure-to-pay, and the monthly close.

Strong SQL skills and working proficiency in Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, or another relevant scripting language.

Experience designing or supporting integrations through APIs, webhooks, middleware, iPaaS platforms, or ETL/ELT pipelines.

Hands-on experience with a cloud ERP or general-ledger platform such as NetSuite, QuickBooks, Workday Financials, Oracle, SAP, or an equivalent system.

Experience with testing, version control, deployment, monitoring, incident response, and technical documentation.

Understanding of internal controls, financial data integrity, access governance, and audit requirements.

Ability to communicate clearly with accountants, engineers, executives, auditors, and external vendors.

Strong ownership and judgment: you can distinguish between a process problem, configuration problem, integration problem, and situation that genuinely requires custom software.
