About The Company

Our client is building the operating system for finance. Every business needs a financial system of record, yet the world's largest fintech market ($220B+) still runs on software from the 1990s. This AI-native ERP automates accounting from data entry to close, so finance teams move faster, spend less, and take on less risk.

In just two years, the company has raised $100M+ from top-tier venture investors and earned the trust of customers ranging from $5M ARR startups to publicly traded companies.

They hire outliers — people who have achieved difficult things, in their careers or beyond. The team includes leaders, colleagues who've competed at the highest levels of sport, performed on Broadway, trained with UFC champions, and founded the country's largest Python community.

Where You'll Create Impact

• Ship production iOS and Android features in React Native + TypeScript — architecture through App Store/Play Store release

• High-speed, high-trust environment with high expectations
  
  

The Engineering Team

• One engineer shaped the baseline of the integration framework from scratch in a single weekend, then spent most weekends — while coordinating the team — shipping what was never on the roadmap: webhooks, a search engine for millions of transactions, and a proprietary internal platform. Pure initiative, compounding.
• Another took a non-existent tax structure and built it end to end, setting the north star for how the team keeps improving on top of it; modular and robust, always setting the bar for the rest.
• One team lead grew her team from one to full capacity, while owning the integration framework end to end; scaling it to support migrations, integrations, and bank connections. The go-to expert on I/O across the platform.
• Another engineer took ownership of the bank connection engine end to end and rebuilt it from scratch over a weekend.
  
  

How You Operate

• Pragmatic: you like to move forward and make decisions based in reality (not theory). The team doesn't debate whether Cassandra has the most theoretical scalability — they use Postgres until it breaks
• Hard working: "You can work long, hard, or smart, but here you can't choose two out of three." — Jeff Bezos
• Curious: you love to learn, and are highly curious about new frameworks and solutions to engineering problems
• Fast-moving: you deploy daily, iterate quickly, and never wait for permission
  
  

Benefits & Compensation

• Equity: $40,000 – $60,000
• Base salary: $120,000 – $180,000
• Remote-first team — the fastest team you will have ever worked with
• Home internet, co-working space & office setup support
• Flexible PTO (27 days incl. public holidays)

• AI skills development & enablement
