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.

Tech stack: Python (backend also in modern languages such as Go, Java, or Rust).

Requirements

• 5+ years of backend or infrastructure engineering
• Experience at a seed-to-Series-B startup, a high-growth company (e.g., Rubrik, Databricks, Ramp, Brex), or a top large-tech company (e.g., Meta, Google, Stripe, LinkedIn)
• Hard backend systems — distributed pipelines, ledger/transactional systems, integration platforms, or workflow engines
• A resume showing real architectural detail and clear personal ownership
• On-site in NYC on startup hours
• Fintech, ERP, or accounting-software background (a strong plus)

Nice to Haves

• Startup or high-growth pedigree with real ownership
• A hard-backend-systems builder
• Domain depth in finance, fintech, or enterprise integrations
• Production AI-agent experience

Why Join

• Full domain ownership: each senior engineer owns a finance domain end to end — no PM writing specs, no architecture committee
• Frontier backend problems: build AI agents finance teams and auditors can trust, turn messy enterprise integrations into a unified source of truth, and orchestrate durable, replay-safe workflows
• Strong backing: well-funded by a top fintech investor with finance leaders behind the company
