Job description

What We Do

Rillet serves accounting and finance teams. Our customers are the financial brains of their companies. Our job is to help them run the numbers with impossible speed, accuracy, and insight.

Rillet is an AI-native ERP that can drive a zero-day close. We are different because of our unified source-of-truth data model, hundreds of best-in-class native integrations (Stripe, Ramp, Salesforce, etc), automated & auditable workflows, multi-entity consolidation, and quickly expanding army of specialized AI agents (e.g., accrual, audit, P&L flux, board decks, etc). These earn us a consistently perfect customer satisfaction score. High-growth AI customers like Mercor, and Function Health love our ship velocity, because their financial stack needs to scale as quickly as they do.

This huge market is ours to take. We have raised $100M from leading investors (including Sequoia, a16z, Iconiq, Oak HC/FT, and First Round) to help everyone run their numbers at the speed of AI.

Who We Are

Rillet’s pace is not for everyone. Intelligence is table stakes. To succeed here, you need extreme speed, agency, and flexibility.

Successful Rilleteers do not wait for assignments. They internalize a mission, design a strategy, and bring back results that are better, faster, and more creative than a manager could have asked for.

Work revolves around our customers. Successful Rilleteers are energized by delivering the most important things, even those that weren’t in the original plan.

In this role, you do not need to be an accountant. But you do need to appreciate the value that our customers can create for their own company when we equip them with the perfect financial tools. Successful Rilleteers love powering the financial core of the world’s fastest-growing companies.

Who We Need

Rillet's support function is new and being built intentionally — and we're building it to scale through engineering, not just headcount. You'll join as one of our first Customer Support Engineers: a hybrid role that combines front-line customer problem-solving with the technical work of building the tools, automations, and AI-assisted workflows that make support fast, accurate, and scalable.

On any given day you'll be resolving real customer issues and building the systems that resolve the next hundred. You'll respond to inbound questions, triage bugs, and get customers unblocked quickly — then turn what you learn into knowledge base content, better ticket routing, AI agent improvements, and internal tooling that makes the whole team more effective. You care about fast, accurate resolution, and you find both the support craft and the engineering behind it energizing.

This is a role for someone who thinks beyond closing tickets one at a time. You see a repeated question and want to automate it away. You see a manual triage step and want to build a workflow for it. You want to compound your impact over time, not just keep pace with volume.

We're looking for teammates who value in-person collaboration and are within commutable distance of our San Francisco (preferred) or NYC offices (or willing to relocate). Team members are required to work in-office Tuesdays and Thursdays, plus one additional flexible in-office day. Certain roles may require additional in-office time based on function.

What You'll Do

• Resolve inbound support tickets across question types — general knowledge, bug triage, and data requests — via omni-channel support, communicating clearly and professionally in async channels with a consistent, helpful tone.

• Triage and elevate issues to Customer Success or Engineering with enough context that handoff is seamless, and flag gaps in playbooks and escalation protocols when you find them.

• Build AI-assisted workflows that automate manual support processes — ticket categorization, response drafting, knowledge retrieval, routing, and enrichment.

• Develop internal tools and integrations that scale support execution, connecting support tooling (e.g., Pylon, Linear), the product, and the data warehouse.

• Contribute to and continuously improve the internal knowledge base — documenting resolutions, product behavior, and edge cases, and turning repeated questions into scalable, structured content that both humans and AI agents can use.

• Tag and categorize tickets consistently to support data quality and AI agent optimization, and instrument support systems with observability so we can trust the data and catch issues early.

• Take support-infrastructure projects from 01 — prototype quickly, then harden the ones that work into durable systems rather than one-off scripts.

• Partner with leadership, Product, and Engineering to surface patterns in customer questions and translate them into product and process improvements.

Who You Are

• 6 months to 3 years in a customer-facing or technical support role — support, success, support engineering, or similar — ideally with exposure to building tools or automations.

• Customer-first orientation — you care about the experience on the other end of every response, not just whether the ticket is technically resolved.

• Technically capable and systems-oriented — comfortable scripting, building integrations, and working with APIs, data pipelines, or AI/LLM-powered workflows to remove manual work.

• Strong written communicator in async channels — crisp, clear, and professional.

• Fast learner who can absorb product complexity quickly; Rillet ships fast and support needs to keep pace.

• Strong triage instinct — you can quickly assess whether an issue needs investigation, escalation, or just a clear answer, and move it to the right place without losing the thread.

• Pattern recognition and documentation instinct — you naturally turn repeated questions into scalable knowledge base content and automation.

• Ability to translate vague problems into concrete technical solutions, with a bias toward ownership, autonomy, and fast iteration.

• High attention to detail in a fast-moving environment.

Nice to Have

• Experience building or integrating AI/LLM-powered workflows in production.

• Familiarity with accounting concepts or finance workflows, or previous experience with an accounting-adjacent product (not required).

• Experience with Pylon, Linear, or similar CS/support tooling.

• Experience at early-stage or fast-scaling startups.

Life at Rillet:

• Competitive Pay & Benefits: Backed by world-class investors, we offer strong salaries plus equity so you share in our success. We've got you covered with top-tier health and dental insurance, premiums partially or fully covered for you, plus 90% coverage for dependents.

• Room to Grow: We're building a team of ambitious, high-performing people who will grow with the company. As Rillet scales, so will your role, responsibilities, and compensation.

• Flexibility That Works: Take the time you need with flexible PTO and 9 company-wide holidays. We value both the flexibility of remote and hybrid work and the creativity and energy that comes from in-person collaboration at our hubs in San Francisco, NYC, and Barcelona.

• Build Real Connections: Great work happens when people connect. Join us for team offsites in incredible locations, our team has bonded everywhere from New York and San Francisco to Toronto, Italy, France, and beyond.
