Finance Infrastructure Engineer - Remote EST

Title: Finance Infrastructure Engineer
Location: Fully Remote (EST-based)
Employment Type: Full-Time / Direct Hire
Restrictions: U.S. Citizenship required due to contract scope.

Overview:
Our client, a defense-focused cybersecurity firm, is seeking a senior Finance Infrastructure Engineer to architect and automate the company’s financial data flows and compliance workflows. This role sits at the intersection of engineering and government-contracting finance, focused on building custom integrations, connecting external financial systems, and automating processes tied to payroll, labor rates, project accounting, and compliance. This is not a reporting or BI role; it requires someone who can independently design, build, and deploy production-grade automations without mentorship.

The ideal candidate comes from an accounting/finance background, has transitioned into engineering, and ideally can assist on core accounting tasks such as payroll validation, cash flow oversight, tax processing, and project cost allocation while building automation around those processes.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own and streamline core finance operations including payroll validation, cash flow, tax processing, and project cost allocation.

• Design, build, and maintain custom integrations and processors between payroll, ERP, timekeeping, and project systems using Python, SQL, APIs, and related tooling.

• Automate workflows tied to fully burdened labor rates (FBLR), CPFF structures, indirect rates, project allocation, and audit-ready expense reconciliation.

• Build automations that ensure financial data is accurate, traceable, and compliant with DCAA and government-contracting standards.

• Develop lightweight dashboards and projections that consume automated data flows and support leadership decision-making.

• Serve as the technical owner for finance automation, working closely with engineering while operating independently with minimal oversight.

Required Skills & Experience:

• 5 to10+ years in government-contracting finance, accounting, FP&A, or financial systems engineering.

• Strong, hands-on development experience automating and integrating financial systems using Python, SQL, and API-driven connectors.

• Demonstrated ability to build custom data pipelines between external financial vendors and internal systems (not just configure existing tools).

• Working knowledge of DCAA, CPFF, indirect rates, and fully burdened labor rate modeling strongly preferred.

• Ability to operate autonomously in a fast-paced, engineering-driven environment with minimal mentorship.
