About the role

We’re solving some of the hardest problems in venture capital and private markets. You’ll work with a team that values precision, urgency, and long-term thinking. If you want to shape how startups are funded and built, this is the place.

Responsibilities

  • Model financial workflows—turning messy, real-world fund data into accurate and automated financials.
  • Build scalable accounting infrastructure—improving how financial data is reported on the front-end, and building out how we read/write to the general ledger on the back-end.
  • Solve hard data integrity problems—ensuring our system produces reliable and audit-ready outputs across a growing universe of funds.
  • Collaborate directly with accounting stakeholders in a tight feedback loop, turning their manual processes into automated systems.
  • Work with other highly talented and self-motivated colleagues driven by the same mission.

Requirements

  • A senior back-end engineer (Ruby on Rails or similar MVC frameworks) with 5+ years of experience, capable of owning features end to end and venturing into the frontend (React, TypeScript).
  • Understand financial workflows or eager to dive deep into fund accounting, transaction processing, and general ledger systems. You are excited about the details of how money flows through the venture ecosystem.
  • Thrive on complexity—modeling ambiguous problems, messy data, and evolving business requirements in a relational database (Postgres, MySQL) where every record is critical.
  • Build for reliability—designing systems to produce audit-ready financial outputs, not best-effort calculations.
  • Customer-oriented to solve complex business problems in collaboration with users in finance and accounting.
  • Execution-focused, comfortable with balancing tradeoffs and making progress in a fast-moving environment.
  • Deep love of startups, having worked in at least one! You may have founded one yourself or hope to start a company in the future.

Qualifications

If you don’t meet every requirement above, we still encourage you to apply. We value complementary strengths and operators who learn by doing.

Skills

  • Experience with Ruby on Rails or similar MVC frameworks.
  • Understanding of financial workflows and fund accounting.
