AI/ML Engineer

About Eightx

We provide Fractional CFO, Controllership, and Bookkeeping services for fast-growing eCommerce Brands and Agencies from Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom with one goal in mind:

To help eCommerce business owners scale their businesses with more cash and less stress.

This requires a broad range of skills, including financial modeling, risk management, understanding of US/Canadian GAAP, financing, audit, investor relations, and more.

We are small but growing fast, which means you will get the chance to specialize and grow into future roles such as AI Director or Automation Architect.

Lastly, as you might expect of a finance company, we work hard when we need to, but we don’t work hard just for the sake of it. We don’t miss our kids’ concerts, we work out during the day, and we usually sign off early on Fridays.
