Data Integrations at FloQast
FloQast is building the indispensable home base for the modern accountant: an AI-powered platform where accounting work is connected, automated, and intelligently executed. As we expand our Data Platform and Data Studio capabilities, we are making it faster and easier to connect source systems, model data, and publish trusted information across FloQast applications.
As a Forward Deployed Data Engineer (Data Platform & Solutions), you will own data integrations end to end. You will use FloQast’s Data Platform and Data Studio to connect to source systems, extract data, create mappings, transform it into FloQast-ready models, validate the results, and publish it to FloQast applications. You will work cross-functionally with customers, partners, Implementation, Customer Success, Product, and Engineering to deliver successful launches and durable data solutions. This is a hands-on role for someone who can turn source data, business needs, and platform capabilities into working data flows.
