USEFUL ADDITIONAL EXPERIENCE: - Working with ledgers, double-entry accounting, reconciliation, or payment orchestration. - Supporting technical evaluations for API-first or developer-facing products. - Building financial workflows involving multiple currencies, payment providers, or digital assets. - Turning recurring customer questions into reusable demos, documentation, or tools.
