Responsibilities
•Define and document the kernel's entry model and contracts, and get the consuming teams to agree to them.
•Land the kernel and country extension split with engineering, including the migration path for what exists today.
•Generalise the French statutory foundations into market-agnostic abstractions that DE, NL and DK extend rather than reimplement.
•Prove the kernel can carry the legacy Cegid migration at volume, with the audit and period integrity that scale demands.
•Establish how VAT rates, charts of accounts and fiscal periods are configured per market once, instead of per team.
Requirements
•You have owned a production double-entry engine or statutory accounting core and made the calls yourself on entry immutability, correction versus reversal, period locking, sub-ledger versus general ledger, multi-currency and event sourcing.
•You know which of those decisions you got wrong and why.
•You come from accounting, audit or tax, you have since become a strong product manager, and your fluency in what a ledger must legally produce is genuinely exceptional rather than merely solid.
•You think in contracts, interfaces and versioning, and you are comfortable when your users are other engineering teams.
•The ability to make a product architectural decision with incomplete information, write down the reasoning, and defend it a year later.
•Experience influencing without authority across teams that do not report to you and do not share your priorities.
•Enough technical depth to be a real partner in design reviews, not a translator between engineering and the business.
•Fluent English.
