Junior Accountant

Swarmer develops software that makes drones autonomous and allows them to operate together, in large, coordinated teams — no pilots needed. Our technology has been battle-tested in Ukraine— the world’s most intense proving ground for drone warfare.

In March 2026, we became the first Ukrainian defense startup to go public on NASDAQ, following a $15M Series A — the largest investment in a Ukrainian defense tech company since the start of the war.

Working at Swarmer means operating at the intersection of engineering rigor and frontline reality. The problems and environments are complex, and the stakes are very real. We built this software to enable democratic nations to defend themselves.

If you are motivated by building resilient systems that matter and by seeing the direct impact of your work, you’ll find purpose here.

We are looking for a Junior Accountant to support our finance and accounting team as the company grows.

In this role, you’ll help with daily accounting operations, including journal entries, reconciliations, documentation management, payroll support, and audit preparation. You’ll also ensure invoices, receipts, and supporting documents are accurate, complete, and well organized across multiple entities, systems, and currencies.

This is a great opportunity for someone detail-oriented, proactive, and quick to learn, who wants real responsibility, visibility, and room to grow as we scale from around 100 employees to approximately 200 by the end of the year.

WHAT YOU WILL DO:

• Calculate and process employee payroll, including vacations, sick leave, business trips, bonuses, advances, compensation payments, and other employee-related payments in compliance with Ukrainian legislation.

• Process and record company payments, including payments to vendors, contractors, and employees, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and timely execution.

• Assist the HR Specialist with preparing documentation related to vacations, sick leave, business trips, bonuses, and other personnel changes.

• Prepare and submit required employee, payroll, tax, and statutory reports to government authorities.

• Collect, verify, and organize supporting documents for accounting and HR records, ensuring documentation is complete and audit-ready.

• Record journal entries, maintain accurate accounting records, and perform general ledger reconciliations.

• Support month-end close activities, including accounts payable coding, expense classification, and reconciliation support.

• Support internal and external audits by maintaining clear documentation and providing requested accounting records.

YOU’LL BE A GOOD FIT IF YOU HAVE:

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Economics, Business Administration, or a related field.

• Some experience in accounting, payroll, bookkeeping, or finance operations.

• Understanding of Ukrainian payroll, labor legislation, tax requirements, and documentation standards.

• High attention to detail, strong organizational skills, and the ability to manage documentation accurately.

• Strong written and verbal English communication skills.

• A proactive communication style, with the confidence to raise questions, flag issues, and recommend solutions.

• Adaptability and flexibility with working hours when needed to align with the US team, for example during audit periods when the schedule may shift to 14:00–22:00.

• Comfort working in a hands-on, fast-paced environment, with the ability to learn quickly and take ownership of day-to-day tasks.

WHAT YOU'LL GET:

• A chance to shape the core autonomy and perception systems at the heart of Ukraine’s defense tech ecosystem and its international expansion

• Direct impact in a high-stakes industry where security decisions carry real-world consequences

• Professional growth through working with cutting-edge defense technologies and exposure to international security best practices
