Onsite
Nobody went into accounting to spend the first week of every month matching transactions by hand. Maxima was built so they don't have to. Our agents do the accounting work itself: journal entries, transaction matching, reconciliations, and flux analysis, in real time and to SOX standards. Accountants review and approve. Nothing posts without a person signing off. We remove the grind, not the human.
Maxima is the first agentic AI platform for enterprise accounting. Our founders oversaw the finance org at Rubrik and built the month-end close systems at Twitter and Netflix. We've raised $41M from Redpoint Ventures, Kleiner Perkins, and Audacious Ventures, and we're backed by finance leaders at OpenAI, Rubrik, and Vanta. Maxima runs in production at Scale AI, Rippling, Glean, and SpotOn.
We are early, we are growing fast, and we are hiring people who would rather build the category than join it. Here is one way to do that.
Deployment is where Maxima proves itself. As a Forward Deployment Strategist, you will guide enterprise customers through complex implementations and make sure they get measurable results, working directly with CFOs, controllers, and accounting operations teams to deploy the platform, automate their close, and deliver efficiency gains they can point to.
The role is cross-functional by nature. You will work daily with Engineering, Product, Sales, and Customer Success, shape the deployment methodology itself, lead implementations, and be the bridge between what customers need and what the product does. Success looks like faster deployments, stronger adoption, and field insight turned into repeatable playbooks.
Own technical and operational delivery for multiple enterprise implementations, so each customer reaches its automation and close-efficiency goals
Act as the primary interface between customers, Product, and Engineering, translating accounting workflows into well-defined implementation plans
Manage deployment timelines, dependencies, and milestones, removing blockers and coordinating technical resources
Create standardized frameworks, tools, and templates for deploying Maxima across customers and industries
Support pre-sales scoping and discovery to define requirements, feasibility, and implementation plans for enterprise prospects
Bring field insight into roadmap priorities, capacity planning, and future platform capabilities
Identify patterns across deployments, capture best practices, and improve delivery velocity and customer outcomes
3 or more years in enterprise customer-facing technical roles such as solutions engineering, forward deployed engineering, or technical implementation
A track record of leading complex, high-stakes software deployments at large enterprises
Strong understanding of financial systems such as NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, or Workday, or experience working in or with finance operations teams
Ability to translate between technical and non-technical audiences, guiding engineers and finance stakeholders toward a common solution
Excellent project management, communication, and problem-solving skills
Experience designing scalable processes and standardizing workflows
Comfortable in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment with a high degree of ownership
Curiosity about AI and what it can do for enterprise operations
This role is based in our downtown Toronto office, near Union Station. We value in-person collaboration and are in office four to five days a week for our on-site roles.
The work. Agentic accounting is a category being defined right now, and Maxima is one of the companies defining it. The product does the accounting work itself, so what you build, sell, or deploy shows up in a customer's books
The people. Founders who ran the finance org at Rubrik and built the close systems at Twitter and Netflix. Engineers from Robinhood, Glean, Google, Netflix, and Meta. Controllers and accountants on the team who have closed books themselves. Small teams in San Mateo and Toronto that work in the same room, say what they think, and hold a high bar
The benefits. Competitive salary, 401(k) for US employees, unlimited PTO, lunch in the office, and commuter benefits
The process. A person reads every application, and we tell you where you stand at every stage
A note on AI
We build AI and we expect you to use it. Use it to research us and to prepare. In live conversations we want your own thinking in your own words, and if you use AI on a take-home exercise, tell us where it helped.
