Job description

Minerva was founded by Peter Zhu and Om Agarwal, who are building AI for accounting backed by Y Combinator. We automate the painful parts of finance and we're bringing that automation into traditional accounting firms we partner with and acquire. You'd be joining a small, fast team, and this is an early, high-ownership hire.

This is a hybrid role: you'll build across our full stack and talk to the people you build it for. Half your week is shipping; the other half is meeting with those firms: sitting with their accountants and staff, learning how they actually work, onboarding them onto our tooling, troubleshooting live, and owning the relationship. If you like being close to the people using what you build and hate being a ticket-taker, you'll like it here.

What we offer

• $2,000–$4,000/mo USD, full-time (contract), depending on experience
• A US, YC-backed startup on your resume and a front-row seat to how one gets built
• Direct access to the founders and genuine ownership of your work
• Direct access to US clients and perfect opportunity to grow customer skills
• Room to grow fast - comp, scope, and leadership as we scale
• Deep expertise in an uncrowded, valuable niche: AI applied to real accounting work

What you'll work on

• Full-stack development across our web app, internal tooling, and data pipelines
• Integrations with accounting and payroll systems (QuickBooks, ADP, etc)
• AI/LLM features that do real accounting work
• Dashboards and reporting that accountants rely on day to day
• Serving as the main technical point of contact for a set of accounting firms - onboarding their teams, mapping their workflows, and supporting them directly

You're a fit if

• 2-4 years building full-stack (our stack: React/Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, Python, Postgres)
• Good spoken and written English - you'll be on calls with US-based accounting teams regularly
• Comfortable working directly with non-technical accounting professionals - patient, clear, and good at turning messy real-world workflows into software
• Bonus: any exposure to accounting, bookkeeping, or QuickBooks (not required - but you'll ramp faster)
• Self-directed - you make real progress without being managed
• Based in Latin America or India, with 4+ hours of daily overlap with US Pacific time
