This role sits at the intersection of product engineering, enterprise systems, and large-scale financial workflows. You will work on designing and building integrations that connect Fonoa with ERPs, billing platforms, procurement systems, and other critical parts of the enterprise ecosystem. This is not a role focused on maintaining isolated connectors. You will work on solving complex integration challenges at scale dealing with large external APIs, inconsistent data models, reliability concerns, and evolving customer requirements. You will help shape how our platform integrates into core enterprise workflows such as Order-to-Cash and Procure-to-Pay. You’ll work closely with engineering, product, and customers to understand how businesses operate in practice and translate those workflows into scalable, reliable product capabilities.

Written and spoken, we are from around the world, but we work in English. * You have a strong sense of ownership, care about what you build, and do the right thing that serves your customers. * You’re a builder at heart; you like the opportunity of having tons of exposure, making things work for a company long term, and having an entrepreneurial attitude toward anything that comes your way. * You have experience building or operating integrations with enterprise systems, such as ERPs, billing platforms, or large financial systems. * You understand how enterprise business processes like Order-to-Cash and Procure-to-Pay work, and how systems integrate within those flows. * You have hands-on experience with a single ERP or enterprise system and are motivated to apply those patterns while learning others. * You are comfortable working with complex external APIs and data models, and designing for reliability, scalability, and correctness. * You ship fast, continuously, and iteratively, learning each step. * You like to use data over opinions to make decisions. And are ok with finding the data yourself when it’s missing. * You are comfortable with change, either in priorities, goals and deadlines. You see this more as an opportunity than a hurdle. You are also satisfied with challenging the status quo and pushing for change. * You want to make a severe impact and are excited about working in a high-growth startup. WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR * Fully proficient in English, written and spoken — we are a global team and work in English * Strong sense of ownership and responsibility for what you build * Builder mindset with curiosity, proactivity, and an entrepreneurial approach to problem solving * Experience building or operating integrations with enterprise systems such as ERPs, billing platforms, or large financial systems * Understanding of enterprise business processes such as: * Order-to-Cash (O2C) * Procure-to-Pay (P2P) * Hands-on experience with at least one ERP or enterprise platform, and interest in learning others * Comfortable working with complex external APIs, large data models, and distributed systems * Ability to design systems with reliability, scalability, and correctness in mind * Comfortable shipping iteratively, learning quickly, and improving continuously * Data-informed mindset and willingness to investigate problems independently * Comfortable operating in fast-changing environments with evolving priorities * Excited about making a meaningful impact in a high-growth startup environment API DOCUMENTATION For engineers, API design and structure are an important part of evaluating a role.
