Our Culture: We foster an intense work culture with a can-do attitude. All our key managers come from excellent educational backgrounds and have significant experience growing a company and mentoring software engineers. Due to our smaller size, we adopt the latest technologies and computing trends ahead of the larger industry players. As a part of the companys globally distributed engineering team, our engineers gain exposure to the latest software engineering practices and fast development cycles. Our developers routinely work on challenging technical problems that utilize the latest technologies for fast-paced software delivery.

The Chartered Accountants will support accounting operations teams across our three India locations. We outsource our bookkeeping and payroll. As a part of accounting operations, you will support our external partners by providing required invoices, payment records, and supporting documents.

As a part of the team, you will also support capital and operating expenses exceeding two hundred crore Rupees per year. In partnership with the external payroll processing provider, you will also work on preparing and finalizing payroll for over 1,000 employees every month. Based on your expertise, you may also receive exposure to financial analysis relating to the setup of new companies, business operating models, and government incentives for investments.
