Job description

Why Join AngelList

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.

About AngelList

We exist to accelerate innovation by increasing the number of successful startups in the world. We do this by building the financial infrastructure that makes it easier for more people to invest in world‑changing companies.

AngelList is the nexus of venture capital and the startup community. We support $171B+ in assets and have powered investments into over 13,000 startups—over 300 of which are unicorns. Today, 57% of top‑tier U.S. VC deals involve investors on AngelList. While our scale is large, our ambition is larger.

About The Role

$15.4 billion. 20,000 startups. That's the capital our platform has put to work — and every dollar of it runs through infrastructure your team will own.

We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our Accounting engineering team: the engine room that keeps our entire financial platform clean, accurate, and battle-tested. This isn't a maintenance role. It's a builder role — one where AI‑first thinking, financial rigor, and technical leadership converge to reshape how venture capital actually moves.

If the math behind money excites you, and you want your engineering work to directly fuel the next generation of startups —

What you’ll do

• Help build the world's easiest-to-use financial platform
• Learn the venture financing business inside and out – from the ground up.
• Attract, develop, and maintain a high level of talent density for your team.
• Cultivate an environment where team members are empowered with a strong sense of ownership and belonging.
• Drive key technical decisions for the organization. Ship every day.

What you bring

• 2+ years managing engineering teams, with a bias toward action and delivery
• Experience in a numbers‑intensive domain – accounting, payroll, invoicing, or similar
• Comfort with ambiguity; you make good decisions fast, without waiting for perfect information
• A builder's instinct – you've started something (a company, a project, a movement) without being asked
• A genuine love of startups and what they represent

How we’ll know you’re crushing it

• Stakeholders are aligned and technical direction is clear
• Your team is growing — in skill, in confidence, in ownership
• Complex projects ship on time, at a high bar for quality and reliability

Working Here

We don’t require you to meet every requirement above; we value complementary strengths and operators who learn by doing.

AngelList has offices in a few cities, with our engineering hub in San Francisco. We’re building our engineering and product teams around this hub to make the most of in‑person collaboration. We have a hybrid in‑office model: teammates come in at least 2 days per week (Tuesdays and either Wednesday or Thursday).

Compensation

The compensation for this role consists of a competitive base salary, benefits, and equity package. The base salary for this role is $240,000+ annually but actual will vary based on a number of factors including a candidate’s professional background, experience, and location. Additional details about our Total Rewards package will be provided during the recruitment process.

Benefits

We support your life both in and outside of work.

AngelList is an equal opportunity employer and we value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
