Who We NeedWe're looking for an experienced engineer to take on meaningful ownership across Rillet's product and technical stack. You'll work closely with our CTO, product, and design to build industry-defining accounting and finance software, shaping not just what we ship but how we build as an engineering organization.
We're an AI-native company, and we expect our engineers to bring that same mindset to how they work. If you're energized by using AI to move faster and solve problems differently, you'll fit right in.
We're looking for teammates within commutable distance of our NYC or San Francisco offices (or willing to relocate). Team members work in-office Tuesdays and Thursdays, plus one additional flexible day.
What You'll Do- Own features and systems end-to-end across the full stack, from backend architecture to the interfaces users interact with every day.
- Partner with product, design, and finance experts to shape what we build, advocating for the right technical tradeoffs and keeping the customer perspective central.
- Set the bar for engineering quality: continuous delivery, test-driven development, production reliability, and a culture of ownership.
- Mentor engineers on the team through code reviews and hands-on collaboration, raising the technical bar across the org.
Who We're Looking For- 5+ years of software engineering experience with a track record of leading large-scale projects and architecting scalable systems
- Backend-focused fullstack engineer with proficiency in Kotlin, Java, or other JVM languages; TypeScript experience a plus
- Comfortable driving technical decisions and making hard tradeoffs under pressure
- Actively incorporates AI tools into your day-to-day workflow, not just as a productivity shortcut but as a way to tackle problems differently
- Strong product instincts and a habit of thinking about user impact, not just technical correctness
- Energized by building in a fast-moving environment where the playbook is still being written
Bonus Points- Background in fintech, ERP, or accounting software
- Prior experience working in a high growth startup
- Experience with modern web frameworks and TypeScript
- Familiarity with CI/CD, observability tooling, and production reliability practices
