  • Reliability Concepts: Practical understanding of key reliability concepts, including idempotency, retries, and comprehensive error handling.

Nice to Have

  • Accounting Knowledge: Familiarity with core accounting concepts (e.g., double-entry bookkeeping, ledgers, reconciliation).
  • Reconciliation: Experience developing reconciliation workflows and identifying data mismatches.
  • Advanced Tech: Experience with applying AI/ML techniques to improve workflows or leverage financial data.
  • Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
