Application Admin

Your Mission

As Engine's Application Administrator, you own the day-to-day health of the systems that Finance, Accounting, and People run on — NetSuite, UKG, Adaptive Insights, Numeric, Zip, and Tray.io. You'll keep close on track when a workflow breaks, keep access clean as the org grows, and keep our systems talking to each other reliably enough that the rest of the team doesn't have to think about them. You'll translate business needs from Finance, Accounting, and People teams into system configurations and ship small fixes quickly.

Engine is fast-paced and high-growth, and this role sits at the intersection of the systems and the humans who depend on them. AI and automation are woven into how you work every day — not a project you get to eventually. When you spot repeatable manual work in the systems you own, you build the automation to eliminate it, close-over-close.

What You'll Do

• Own end-to-end administration of NetSuite, UKG, Adaptive Insights, Numeric, Zip, and Tray.io — configuration, workflows, integration health, and day-to-day maintenance.
• Own access protocols for restricted financial and HR data — user provisioning, role and permission changes, and quarterly access reviews.
• Partner with Finance, Accounting, and People stakeholders to translate business needs into system configurations, workflows, and process improvements — bringing proposed solutions along with the problems you surface.
• Own the systems layer of cross-functional projects — partnering with FinTech engineering on integrations and technical initiatives that touch Finance, Accounting or People systems.
• Build and use AI/automation tooling every day to eliminate manual work across the systems you own.
• Maintain living documentation of system configurations, workflows, and change decisions so institutional knowledge doesn't live in one person's head.

What You'll Bring to Engine

• 3+ years of hands-on NetSuite administration with real depth in configuration across roles, workflows, and permissions.
• AI-native operator. Demonstrated experience using AI tools to eliminate manual work in the last 6–12 months. This is a hard requirement, not a nice-to-have.
• Multi-system experience. Direct admin experience across multiple financial and HR systems, including hands-on HRIS administration. Doesn't have to match our exact stack.
• Experience partnering with Accounting, Finance, and People teams — comfortable translating close, reporting, and business process needs into system configurations and improvements.
• Bias toward speed. You resolve issues in hours or days, not weeks, and make judgment calls on lower-stakes decisions without waiting for permission.
• Comfortable managing access in financial and HR systems — user provisioning, role changes, and quarterly access reviews — following defined access protocols.
• Sharp communication. You can explain a systems change to a non-technical Finance or People stakeholder without jargon. You write documentation people actually use.
• Start-to-finish ownership. You don't leave work in someone else's inbox. You surface problems with proposed solutions attached and close the loop.
