Software Developer

About LimeLedger:

LimeLedger is a specialist Sage Intacct partner focused exclusively on mid-size construction and real estate businesses across Australia and New Zealand. We help finance teams replace entry-level accounting tools with purpose-built financial management - delivering faster closes better project visibility and the reporting that growing businesses actually need. We operate on a two-hub model. Our Australian team owns client relationships.

Our Kenya team is the delivery engine - handling implementation development and technical work that makes every project run. The people who join us in Kenya now will help set the standard for how this team works as it scales.

About the role:

You will build and maintain the technical systems that power LimeLedgers delivery. That means developing customisations within Sage Intacct building integrations between Sage Intacct and the platforms our clients use and creating custom applications for both clients and the internal delivery team. You will also contribute to the AI-assisted workflows and migration tooling that make our implementations faster and more reliable. This is not a maintenance role - though keeping everything running is part of it. You will be designing and building new things from day one working closely with the implementation team and directly with the founder on the problems that matter most.

What youll do:

• Build customisations within Sage Intacct using Java - custom objects workflows and platform-level extensions that go beyond standard configuration
• Build and maintain integrations between Sage Intacct and third-party platforms such as Simpro Procore and other operational systems used by clients
• Build custom applications for clients and the internal delivery team - tools that support implementation workflows reporting and day-to-day operations
• Maintain all active integrations - monitor debug and update as client systems or platform APIs change
• Develop data migration tooling that extracts transforms and loads financial data from Xero and MYOB into Sage Intacct
• Contribute to AI-assisted workflows that automate implementation tasks such as configuration data validation and documentation
• Write clean well-documented code that the team can maintain and build on
• Collaborate directly with implementation consultants to understand requirements and translate them into technical solutions
• Research and evaluate new tools and libraries that can improve delivery speed and quality

What were looking for:

• Bachelors degree in Computer Science Software Engineering or a related field
• 5 years of experience building software professionally ideally with exposure to ERP or business systems
• Java development experience - this is the primary language for Sage Intacct customisations
• Strong experience with API integrations - specifically REST APIs and XML-based APIs. The Sage Intacct native API is XML - reading writing and debugging XML request/response structures is a core part of this role
• Understanding of financial data structures in an API context - GL entries AR/AP transactions project dimensions chart of accounts hierarchies
• Experience shipping AI or LLM-powered tools in a production environment - not just experimentation
• Financial curiosity - you do not need to be an accountant but you need to care about understanding the business logic behind what you build
• End-to-end ownership - you write the code test it deploy it and take responsibility for how it performs
• Interest in the construction industry and how project-based businesses manage their finances
• Experience working with or for international or multinational organisations is a strong advantage
