**Company:** [Cursor](https://hotfix.jobs/companies/cursor)
**Location:** San Francisco, CA, New York, NY
**Role:** Finance & Accounting
**Skills:** NetSuite, Stripe, SQL, CI/CD, ERP, Python
**Posted:** 2026-05-29

> As the first Finance Systems hire, you will be responsible for implementing and evolving the company's Accounting, Billing, and Finance tools. This is a hands-on builder role focused on ensuring scalable, accurate, and efficient financial processes.

## Job Description

## About the role
We’re looking for our first Finance Systems Engineer to support and evolve our Accounting, Billing, and Finance tools to support a fast-growing business. In this role, you will focus on ensuring that our environment supports scalable, accurate, and efficient financial processes across Order to Cash and Record to Report.

You'll be a team of one initially, and in the future, the most technically sophisticated member of the Finance Systems team: the one who sets the standards, solves the hardest problems, and makes everyone around you faster and better without stepping out of the code yourself.

## What you’ll do
* Own the technical architecture of Cursor’s finance systems.
* Lead and execute the most complex, ambiguous implementations across Finance systems — initially starting in Order to Cash.
* Partner with Sales, Finance, Legal, and RevOps to translate messy commercial requirements into clean, scalable technical solutions.
* Champion AI-forward automation in how Finance systems are built and operated.
* Build with a strong balance of code and configuration — knowing when each is the right tool and why.

## You may be a fit if
* You've owned complex Finance Systems environments and integrations as a hands on developer.
* You've implemented or fully owned an ERP or major components of one end-to-end and can speak to what broke and what you'd do differently.
* You've worked at pre-IPO companies through periods of real growth — you know what adversity looks like and you stayed through it.
* You have strong opinions about developer tooling, CI/CD, and how to maintain velocity with safety.
* You mentor by doing — pairing, building together, raising the team's technical ceiling through proximity, not PowerPoint.
* You're energized by ambiguity, move fast by default, and are burned by orgs where shipping takes a quarter.
* Years of hands-on experience matter to you more than certifications — and to us too.

## If you have any of these, we should talk!
* You have a software engineering background and work on systems like Netsuite, Stripe, and other Order to Cash systems.
* You are proficient in a general purpose programming language, ideally having shipped production code.
* Your strong SQL is your second or third most important skill.
