FAMLI is a social insurance system covering 2.6 million workers and 180,000 employers, delivered as a digitally native, public-facing service. We’re in the early stages of building something as big and as far-reaching as unemployment insurance or a new health department.

The position maintains employer contribution accounts, processes accounts receivable transactions, researches and resolves account discrepancies, prepares reconciliations and financial records, and supports financial reporting, close activities, and audits.
