Job description

About AngelList:

We exist to accelerate innovation by increasing the number of successful startups in the world. We want to give more people the opportunity to participate in the venture economy by building the financial infrastructure that makes it possible for more people to invest in world changing startups, and build tools for startups that help them run their operations so they can focus on building.

AngelList is the nexus of venture capital and the startup community. We support over $124B+ assets on our platform, and we’ve driven capital to over 12,000 startups, almost 282 of which are unicorns. 57% of top‑tier U.S. VC deals involve investors on AngelList.

While our scale is large, our ambitions are even larger – we’re innovating on the financial infrastructure for venture investors and the startups they invest in. Come build with us.

About the Role:

AngelList’s business depends on getting money from investors into funds, which then deploy that capital into startups. We track all these money movements and investors’ legal rights in our system. Instead of building tools for accountants to do this manually, we’re building software that does the work of accountants.

Our Fund Accounting engineering team leverages AngelList’s unique private market data to help our customers understand where value accrues, and how it changes in time. We are building the core accounting primitives that will power our ERP. An ideal candidate for this team will have heavy backend experience but be able to contribute across the stack. You will have a lot of autonomy and ownership – including owning data modeling, Rails APIs, and the React frontend that surfaces that data to customers.

You will have the opportunity to:

• Model financial workflows—turning messy, real‑world fund data into accurate and automated financials.
• Build scalable accounting infrastructure—designing and implementing General Ledger (GL) automations, transaction processing pipelines, and data validation systems.
• Solve hard data integrity problems—ensuring our system produces reliable and audit‑ready outputs across a growing universe of funds.
• Ship end‑to‑end features—from backend data pipelines to frontend tools that make accounting workflows accessible to non‑technical customers.
• Collaborate with stakeholders across multiple teams—as we move from manual processes to automated systems, we need to clean up legacy data models, streamline integrations, and increase system reliability.
• Work with other highly talented and collaborative colleagues to grow personally and professionally.

You are most likely:

• A senior back‑end engineer (Ruby on Rails or similar MVC frameworks) with 5+ years of experience, capable of owning features end to end and venturing into the frontend (React, TypeScript).
• Understand financial workflows, or are eager to dive deep into fund accounting, transaction processing, and general ledger systems. You are excited about the details of how money flows through the venture system.
• Thrive in complexity—modeling ambiguous problems, messy data, and evolving business requirements in a relational DB (PostreSQL or similar) where every record is critical.
• Build for reliability, designing systems to produce audit‑ready financial outputs, not best‑effort calculations.
• Execution‑focused, comfortable with balancing tradeoffs and making progress in a fast‑moving environment.
• Deeply in love with startups, having worked in at least one! You may have even founded one yourself or hope to start a company in the future.

If you don’t tick every box above, we’d still encourage you to apply. We’re building a diverse team whose skills balance and complement one another.

AngelList has offices in a few cities, and our engineering hub in San Francisco. We’re focused on hiring from this hub office so engineers and product teams can collaborate in the office at least twice per week (Tuesdays and choice between Wednesday or Thursday). From time to time, we will make exceptions for new hires if they need to be in another office or fully remote.

Compensation: The compensation for this role consists of a competitive base salary, benefits, and equity package. The base salary for this role is $180,000+ 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 our employees in their lives both inside and outside of work.
