About
Dwelly is a property‑tech start‑up founded in 2023. We are building an AI‑driven rental‑management platform focused on long‑term residential rentals in the UK. Our end‑to‑end marketplace serves both landlords and tenants, helping to improve rental processes and make decisions faster. We handle contract management, payments, property, tenant and landlord management and re‑engineer traditional agency processes to elevate client experiences and drive efficiency. The Role
We are seeking a highly detail‑oriented and versatile Senior System/Data Analyst to join our team, focusing on the critical Payments and Financial Accounting domain. This cross‑disciplinary role sits at the intersection of Systems Analysis, Data Engineering, and Finance, with the core mission to fully automate and optimise our complex financial workflows. You will be responsible for ensuring the absolute accuracy of money movement and financial reporting for a portfolio of thousands of properties. Key Responsibilities
Imagine a small estate agency with a portfolio of a thousand flats – that’s a thousand monthly payments from tenants. When we receive payments by direct debit, we know exactly what each payment is for and who it’s from. In 40 % of cases the tenant initiates the payment themselves and may forget to include the reference number that tells us which contract the payment belongs to. Tenants may not specify the period the payment covers, and every tenant has a unique payment cycle that starts from their move‑in date. In some months the same tenant’s payment may come from a different account. When tenants are late or refuse to pay, we must contact them and agree an individual repayment plan for the arrears. After receiving a tenant’s payment, we take the agency commission, deduct any expenses (e.g., repairs), and send the remainder to the landlord. Repair costs may be split across several months or paid directly by the landlord. We account for payment‑system fees. Client money and agency money are held in separate accounts in the UK; we must avoid double‑counting cash flows. Traditional calculations are manual; we aim to automate this work 100 %. Payments & Financial Process Automation
Analyse and fully automate the end‑to‑end payment lifecycle for tenant rent and landlord payouts, aiming for 100 % elimination of manual reconciliation for complex scenarios. Deep‑dive into existing production logic, read backend code, and reverse‑engineer complex financial calculations to design automation logic. Develop meticulous, cent‑accurate Technical Specifications (TS) for the engineering team to implement payment and accounting logic. Data Accuracy & Reconciliation
Design and implement control dashboards and reconciliation processes to ensure total financial accuracy across all systems, validating control sums down to the cent. Define and track logic for handling payment arrears, debt‑collection plans, and complex expense deductions (e.g., agency commission, repair costs, multi‑month splits). Ensure correct separation and accounting of client money and agency money in compliance with UK regulations, avoiding double counting of cash flows. System Analysis & Development Support
Model and track complex financial flows, integrating nuances such as payment‑system commissions. Act as a bridge between the business’s financial complexity and the engineering team. Occasionally contribute small code changes (e.g., a 15‑line pull request) to solve problems or prove concepts directly, in lieu of lengthy documentation. Requirements
High level of autonomy and a full‑stack analyst skill set. Ability to solve complex technical challenges involving financial data and high accuracy. Preference for working with data and systems logic over managing people or pushing stakeholders. Perfectionist attitude toward financial reporting and reconciliation. Comfortable reading and understanding backend code to inform specifications. Working English that allows for seamless professional communication. Additional Fit
Enjoy the challenge of ensuring financial control sums align perfectly to the cent. Seek a niche role where attention to detail and a calm approach to complex problems are highly valued. Experience in an international environment. Conditions
Remote (± London time zone). Market compensation in GBP (ability to receive foreign currency payments is required). Must be based outside the Russian Federation. What is it like being a Dwelly‑er
Customer obsession rather than competitive focus. Passion for invention. Operational excellence. Long‑term thinking.
