Full Job Description

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. WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR: 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.

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, bu
