About the role
A high-ownership engineering seat where each senior engineer takes full responsibility for a finance domain — from the LLM pipeline and infrastructure through to the customer-facing surface — working directly with controllers, accountants, and CFOs to understand the problem before building the system. No PM writing specs, no architecture committee.
Responsibilities
- Own a finance domain end-to-end (revenue, cash, close, reporting, payroll, fixed assets, tax, or controls) and ship it with a pod of two to three engineers
- Design and build AI agents that reason across fragmented financial data, with verification, guardrails, observability, and evaluation systems for non-deterministic outputs
- Ingest, normalize, and reconcile data from ERPs, banks, payroll platforms, billing systems, CRMs, and email into a unified financial context layer
- Ship idempotent, audit-ready write-backs to systems of record with full traceability
- Sit directly with controllers and finance teams to learn workflows, then translate that understanding into shipped software
- Operate AI coding agents fluently as a daily part of the engineering workflow
Requirements
- 5+ years backend or infrastructure engineering
- Seed-to-Series B startup OR high-growth company (Rubrik, Databricks, Ramp, Brex) OR top large-tech (Meta, Google, Stripe, LinkedIn)
- Hard backend systems: distributed pipelines, ledger/transactional systems, integration platforms, or workflow engines
- Resume showing architecture detail and clear personal ownership
- NYCFintech, ERP, or accounting-software background a strong plus
Benefits
- Full medical, dental, and vision (employees and dependents)
- 401(k) with employer match
- Competitive equity
- Meals and a stocked NYC office
