AI Native Fintech

Location: San Francisco (Onsite 4 or 5 days per week)

Funding: $100M+

Salary: $170K - $300K + Strong equity

Well-funded AI-native fintech modernizing how accounting and finance teams operate. With $100M+ in backing from top-tier investors and strong product-market fit, we’re tackling a category that hasn’t meaningfully changed in decades and rebuilding it from first principles.

This is a chance to join a small, high caliber engineering team building core financial infrastructure, data systems, and AI-driven workflows that power mission critical use cases for modern companies.

The role

We’re looking for product minded full stack or backend engineers who want real ownership. You’ll work end-to-end - from understanding user problems to designing systems, shipping features, and iterating in production. Engineers here don’t just write code, they help shape product direction.

You’ll operate in a fast moving, in person environment where quality, speed, and pragmatism all matter.

What you’ll work on

• Core financial and accounting systems that ingest, transform, reconcile, and report on complex data
• Backend services and APIs that power automation, workflows, and AI-assisted experiences
• Data pipelines and platforms that prioritize correctness, traceability, and performance
• Product features that blend structured systems with thoughtful UX
• Internal tooling and abstractions that allow the product to scale without slowing down development

What we’re looking for

• 2+ years of experience building production software
• Strong backend fundamentals
• A product mindset - you care about users, tradeoffs, and outcomes, not just implementation
• Comfort operating in ambiguous, fast-changing environments
• Strong ownership mentality and bias toward shipping

How we work

• In-person, highly collaborative team based in San Francisco (4 or 5 days per week)
• Small teams, large ownership, minimal process overhead
• Engineers talk to users, influence roadmap decisions, and own outcomes
• High trust, high standards, and a deep respect for the craft
• Build foundational systems in a category that desperately needs reinvention
• Work alongside experienced founders, engineers, and product leaders
• Meaningful equity at a well-backed, high-growth company
• Competitive compensation and top-tier benefits
• A chance to define how modern financial software is built - not iterate on legacy patterns
