Business Systems Lead, Procure-to-Pay

About the Team

The Finance Platform & Technology team builds and scales the systems and data architecture that power OpenAI’s core financial operations. We enable business agility, compliance, and operational excellence across procure-to-pay, quote-to-cash, supply chain, financial planning, and asset management. We partner with Procurement, Accounting, Tax, Legal, Security, Data, and Engineering to modernize workflows through thoughtful platform design, reliable integrations, scalable automation, and trusted data.

You might thrive in this role if you:

• Have 6+ years of experience in enterprise integrations, software engineering, or business systems engineering, with substantial hands-on responsibility for building and operating production solutions.
• Can personally write, review, test, and debug production code in a language such as Python or TypeScript, and use SQL to investigate data quality, reconcile systems, and validate outcomes.
• Have hands-on experience integrating with Oracle Fusion and understanding how Procurement and Payables transactions move through its APIs, data models, and interfaces.
• Have designed and shipped APIs, services, or internal applications, and can explain your implementation choices, failure modes, and results in production.
• Understand REST APIs, JSON, authentication and authorization, data modeling, and event-driven or message-based integration patterns.
• Have built and operated integrations using OIC, Workato, or comparable platforms, and can choose when custom code, native APIs, or an integration platform best fits the problem.
• Have owned production troubleshooting and service reliability, including observability, retries, reconciliation, incident response, and safe recovery.
• Understand the P2P lifecycle and how approvals, supplier data, purchase orders, receiving, matching, invoices, and payments affect downstream accounting and controls.
• Can make targeted functional configuration changes and validate their business impact, while partnering with specialists for deeper module design. Experience with Zip is a plus.
• Apply secure engineering and financial-control practices, including least-privilege access, segregation of duties, sensitive-change approvals, and auditable transaction histories.
• Communicate clearly with Procurement, AP, Accounting, Risk, and Engineering, turn ambiguous needs into working software, and bring curiosity about building and evaluating AI-enabled applications.
