## Job Description

&lt;h1&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About us&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ruby Labs is a leading tech company that creates and operates innovative consumer products. We offer a diverse range of opportunities across the health, education, and entertainment industries. Our innovative teams are driving the future of consumer-led products, and we&#x27;re always looking for passionate individuals to join us. Learn more about our story at: &lt;a href&#x3D;&quot;https://rubylabs.com/about-us/&quot; rel&#x3D;&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https://rubylabs.com/about-us/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h1&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the role&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;p&gt;We are hiring an Accounting Automation Engineer to replace manual accounting work across a multi-entity, multi-country enterprise, using Claude Code and agentic AI. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You will use Claude Code and agentic AI, plus Python or JavaScript/TypeScript, to automate accounts payable, accounts receivable, reconciliations, month-end close and the wider day-to-day accounting operation. You need strong IFRS or US GAAP knowledge to get the numbers right, because an automation that posts wrong entries is worse than no automation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We build agentic AI systems and AI agents, not fixed step-by-step workflows. Experience with rule-based workflow builders such as n8n or Zapier is not relevant to this role.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Titles we will consider: Accounting Automation Engineer, Finance Engineer, Financial Systems Engineer, Technical Accountant (with engineering background), Accounting Systems Manager (with engineering background).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h1&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key Responsibilities&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;p&gt;The goal is to automate the repeatable core of enterprise accounting, with human review kept only where judgment is needed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Accounts payable&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Invoice capture and data extraction from PDFs and email, using AI where useful&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Vendor matching, coding suggestions, and 2-way/3-way PO matching&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Duplicate invoice detection and approval routing&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Payment run preparation and vendor statement reconciliation&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Accounts receivable&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Invoice generation and delivery&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cash application and bank receipt matching&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aging reports, dunning and collections reminders&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Credit note handling and bad debt/ECL provision support&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Reconciliations&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bank and card reconciliations across all accounts and currencies&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Balance sheet account reconciliations (prepayments, accruals, deferred revenue, fixed assets)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Intercompany and subledger-to-GL reconciliations&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Exception reports that flag only the items a human needs to review&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Month-end close&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Close checklist tracking and scheduled reminders&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Recurring, accrual, prepayment and amortization journals&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Depreciation runs and FX revaluation&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Trial balance checks, flux/variance analysis, and draft commentary&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Management reporting packs&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;General accounting operations&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Expense report and employee reimbursement checks&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chart of accounts and master data hygiene&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Audit support: evidence collection, PBC lists, sample extraction&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Data pipelines between ERP, banks, payment platforms and spreadsheets&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;h1&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Qualifications&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;p&gt;Two things matter most, and we weigh them above everything else:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Strong knowledge of IFRS or US GAAP&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Real experience with AI coding tools, ideally Claude Code, backed by solid engineering basics&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;We accept two paths: an accountant who learned to code, or an engineer who learned accounting. Both are judged on the same practical test.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hands-on experience building automations with Python or JavaScript/TypeScript (either is fine)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Daily, hands-on use of AI coding tools, ideally Claude Code, with solid engineering basics, shipping working scripts and agents&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ability to run local scripts and schedule jobs (cron, task schedulers or CI pipelines)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Strong knowledge of IFRS or US GAAP, shown by ACCA, ACA, CPA or equivalent, or by several years of hands-on accounting experience&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Experience with core processes: AP, AR, bank reconciliation, month-end close&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Comfort working with APIs and MCP servers, CSV/Excel data and basic SQL&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Care for accuracy, controls and audit trails&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;h1&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nice to have&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Experience in multi-entity or multi-currency environments, including intercompany and consolidation&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Experience reconciling payment processor statements across multiple jurisdictions and currencies&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Experience with shared...
