One stop solution to your remote job hunt!

< class="h1">About

Rutter is building a universal API for commerce platforms.

Similar to the financial market before Plaid, the e-commerce market is split across hundreds of platforms, such as Shopify, Squarespace, Amazon, and others. Each of these platforms has its own app store or its equivalent, and the enterprising e-commerce developer must spend thousands of hours building integrations in order to access the entire e-commerce market.

Rutter is an integration layer letting any e-commerce tool build one integration to access any storefront or marketplace. We do this by providing an abstract schema representing products, orders, and customers. With its support for 20 platforms and growing, Rutter cuts integration time down from 4 years to 2 weeks, helping e-commerce developers get to market faster and build world-class companies.

By joining Rutter, you'll receive a competitive salary and a meaningful equity stake in a product that is loved by customers, making money, and experiencing hyper-growth.

Rutter is a Series A startup backed by a16z, Basis Set, Haystack, and the CEOs of Plaid, Yahoo, and others. We’ve raised over $28M to date.

 

< class="h1">The Mission

Rutter wants to enable new e-commerce experiences. We've seen an explosion of new software tools being built for merchants, and we know from our own experience building these tools that it is too hard to integrate with existing e-commerce platforms.

Today, the average e-commerce merchant uses 15-20 tools on top of their e-commerce platform of choice, from shipping software to marketing automation to generating returns and warranties. By making it easier to build these tools, Rutter will be at the center of a growing, massive market and aid the creation of new e-commerce tools and experiences.

 

< class="h1">The Role

This means you’ll bring our external FinOps processes in-house, oversee financial statements and forecasts, own all aspects of our general ledger, manage our order-to-cash and procure-to-pay processes, ensure compliance, and build out a world-class FinOps team as we grow. This role reports to our Head of Finance and Operations.

• Establish monthly, quarterly and annual close processes that reflect best practices

• Ensure we remain compliant with all city, state, federal, and international corporate regulations

• Implement internal accounting controls that scale with our business

• Prepare and maintain our 3-statement financial model & forecasts, set and manage budgets with business partners, and help create our annual operating plan and quarterly outlooks

• Support our annual financial statement audit

< class="h3">You are:

• Excited to be the founding member of a FinOps team!

• Meticulous with details

• Ready to build processes and structure for scale from the ground up

• Comfortable with ambiguity and changing priorities

• Strong knowledge and understanding of GAAP Accounting

• Experience with technology, software, and/or SaaS-related accounting procedures (including ASC 606 and ASC 340-40) at fast-paced, high-growth technology startups

• Public accounting experience; Big 4 audit or assurance experience is a plus

• A CPA, or previous Sr. Accounting Manager, Assistant Controller, or Controller experience

• A sense of humor :)
