About the role

As a Senior Staff Software Engineer on the Close team, you are a primary architect of FloQast’s vision for the "Operating System for Accounting." This role is for a technical visionary who thrives on solving "impossible" distributed systems problems and understands that the best code empowers an entire engineering organization to move faster. You’ll define the technical North Star for FloQast Close, our centralized hub where accountants create, test, deploy, and manage bespoke AI Agents. You will drive step-function improvements in how we deliver our Visual Agent Builder and empower global brands to automate complex workflows without touching a line of code.

• Mentor senior engineers, fostering a culture of deep technical curiosity and high-performance execution.

Requirements

• 12+ years of experience shipping complex, enterprise-grade software, with a deep understanding of the lifecycle of a maturing platform.
• Expertise in modern backend stacks—specifically Go, Node.js, MongoDB, and AWS.
• Strong product intuition with a focus on driving business impact, solving real customer pain points, and empowering accounting teams to automate rules-based workflows.
• Ability to navigate "grey areas," turning napkin-sketch ideas into production-ready reality through influence and technical clarity.

• Scalable workflow orchestration
• Secure, compliant SaaS architectures
