Responsibilities
- Collaborate closely with engineers, product designers, and product to perform experiments and test new ideas
- Build performant, design-centric, reusable and usable interfaces that solve complex needs. Such as customisation possibilities for our users, complex data visualisations (graphs, charts, etc...), delightful components that provide the best platform experience
- Drive user defined data modeling and performance, providing the user with customization possibilities through reusable building blocks: models, variables, formulas, …
- Take operational responsibility for the components that you write
- Work in an environment that supports your individual growth by providing you with challenging tasks and projects to solve and the freedom to acquire new skills in hack time
- Work with product and our operations team to incorporate customer feedback in order to constantly improve our product
- Scale our complex data and calculations platform for a fast growing number, size and complexity of clients
- Move fluently across multiple programming languages and ecosystems beyond our core stack (not limited to Python or Django) to read, adapt, and extend integration-specific code such as ERP scripting frameworks (e.g. SuiteScript), native app extensions for accounting and finance platforms, and third-party vendor SDKs
- Work confidently with a wide range of authentication and identity flows, including OAuth 2.0 / OIDC, SSO providers (Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, Google Workspace), SAML, and service-to-service authentication. Comfortable managing different token types (access, refresh, JWT, API keys), handling token lifecycles, and applying secure communication protocols (TLS/HTTPS, signed requests, secret management) across all integrations
- Lead the design and development of Abacum's integrations platform for ingesting, normalizing, and annotating business data
- Build and scale bidirectional integrations with billing, accounting, ERP, commerce, and HRIS platforms
- Architect low-code/no-code tools (e.g. connector builder, declarative DSLs, LLM-assisted workflows), and choose between integration strategies (unified API, in-house, contractors) to accelerate integration development and maintenance
- Ensure integrations are secure, resilient, and performant at scale, supporting high-volume financial and transactional data
- Collaborate closely with product, design, financial experts, and customers to translate complex, ambiguous workflows into intuitive software experiences
- Establish technical standards, and guide architecture for integrations and data-heavy systems
