Team: Internal Technology & Automation
Position Type: Full-Time
Experience Level: Encouraged to apply if you have the skills and ability, regardless of years of experience.

Education Qualification: B.Tech ( CS) Required

Position Overview

We are building our internal technology capability from the ground up and are looking for a motivated Developer to join our pioneering team. Your primary mission will be to streamline our accounting, and operational workflows by developing practical, Python-based automation solutions using open-source tools.

You’ll bridge the gap between our accounting expertise and technology potential, starting with automating simple tasks and progressively building towards integrated systems. This role is a great fit for those who’ve created personal projects, contributed to open-source, or automated their own repetitive tasks.

Key Responsibilities

● Identify & Analyze: Work directly with the accounting team to identify repetitive, manual processes for automation (e.g., data reconciliation, report generation, client data processing).

● Build & Deploy: Develop, test, and deploy robust Python scripts and applications to automate these identified tasks.

● Work with Data & APIs: Manipulate data from Excel, PDFs, and databases; gradually expand to REST API integrations for end-to-end automation.

● Maintain & Iterate: Manage and refine automation scripts, ensuring their reliability and adapting them to changing business needs.

● Collaborate & Support: Work closely with non-technical team members, gather requirements effectively, and provide basic guidance on using the new tools.

Skills & Experience Required

We are looking for candidates who can demonstrate proficiency in the following:

● Core Python Proficiency: hands-on experience with Python for practical task automation. You understand core concepts like data structures, functions, and error handling.

● Data Manipulation: Proficiency with Python libraries such as pandas for data analysis and openpyxl or xlrd/xlwt for Excel file interaction.

● Development Tools: Comfortable using modern IDEs (like VSCode, PyCharm) and their integrated terminals for running scripts, managing packages, and basic troubleshooting/debugging.

● Problem Solving: Ability to break down complex processes into efficient, automatable steps.

● Communication: Can explain technical solutions clearly to non-technical colleagues.

Nice-to-Have Skills

● Knowledge of API Interaction: Knowledge of making HTTP requests using libraries like requests to connect with external services and pull data.

● Web Scraping: Knowledge of BeautifulSoup or Scrapy for extracting public data from websites.

● Version Control: Familiarity with Git for source code management.

● Accounting Knowledge: Understanding of basic accounting principles.

● Data Visualization: Experience with libraries like Matplotlib, Seaborn, or Plotly to create charts and dashboards for internal reporting. Familiarity with hosting apps on Streamlit also appreciated.

● Database Skills: Basic knowledge of SQL to query databases.

What We Offer

● A unique opportunity to be a foundational member of a new strategic team.

● A clear path for professional growth in accounting technology and intelligent automation.

● A collaborative environment where you can see the direct impact of your work on the firm's efficiency.
