Job description

About Campfire

Campfire is an AI-native ERP for financial operations. Accounting teams and fractional CFO firms at fast-growing companies use it to run their close, revenue recognition, AP/AR, consolidations and reporting. Ember, our AI layer, works alongside accountants on the ledger itself.

You'll be the engineer embedded with our largest enterprise customers, owning their technical onboarding from kickoff to go-live. You write real code — integrations, scripts, tooling — and turn what you learn in the field into product improvements. You report into Engineering and work side by side with Sales, Implementation and Product.

What you'll do

  • Lead technical onboarding for enterprise customers: scoping, integrations, configuration, go-live

  • Support customers with complex or custom data migrations from legacy ERPs and GLs (NetSuite, Sage Intacct, QuickBooks)

  • Build and configure integrations with banks, billing, payroll and HRIS systems

  • Write production-quality code, scripts and tooling to speed up each rollout

  • Be the customer's technical point of contact; run working sessions with controllers and finance leads

  • Turn repeated field work into product: file clear specs, ship fixes, and build reusable onboarding tools

  • Partner with Sales on technical discovery and solution design for late-stage enterprise deals

What you bring

  • 4+ years as a software engineer, solutions engineer or FDE

  • Strong in Python or TypeScript and SQL; comfortable with APIs, data pipelines and messy data

  • Experience leading customer-facing technical projects end to end

  • Clear communicator with both engineers and finance teams

  • Ownership mindset: you get customers live, not just unblocked

  • Willing to travel to customer sites as needed

Nice to have

  • Accounting knowledge: GL, close process, revenue recognition (ASC 606)

  • Hands-on ERP migration or implementation experience

  • Background at a fintech, ERP or enterprise SaaS company

  • Experience with enterprise security and compliance reviews

Success in the first year

  • Enterprise customers go live on time

  • Onboarding time drops through tooling you built

  • Field feedback ships as product improvements

  • Customers name you as a reason they chose to expand
