  • AI-native Product Development: Design AI-friendly APIs, layer MCPs on top, and build the next generation of agentic workflows for accounting and finance in your domain.
  • Drive the team's adoption of agent-first development workflow to design and deliver robust & scalable solutions
  • Mentorship: Consistently mentor 1-2 engineers regularly and provide guidance to multiple peers across the team.
  • Act as a "go-to" engineer within your subdomain, proactively raising and solving team-level technical problems.
  • Regularly provide constructive feedback to improve the performance of others and unblock peers to maintain team momentum.

  • Great understanding of JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, and Scripting
