Full Job Description
The Role

We're hiring Software Engineers to build AI agents that power the next generation of LiveFlow.

This is a full-stack role at its core, with a strong focus on designing and developing agent-driven systems embedded deeply and throughout the product.

We're not just slapping on a chatbox and calling it AI-native, we're building a system of collaborating agents, with precision tools and robust auditability, giving our users superpowers they can deploy with confidence. We're reimaging how finance teams will operate.

What You'll Work On
  • Understanding customer workflows, use-cases and jobs to be done
  • Building AI agents to simplify and eliminate tedious and error-prone tasks
  • Developing the realtime platform for finance teams to work together and with agents
  • Designing and scaling APIs and CLI to enable interoperability
  • Contributing to compounding engineering practices that enable our team to operate more efficiently and effectively
  • Ensuring high standards of data security, reliability, and compliance


How We Use AI

In Engineering:
  • We offer unlimited budget to use and explore the latest coding tools
  • You can work with whatever agents and environment you prefer, locally or in the cloud
  • We employ the principles of compound engineering, expecting everybody to invest in bettering the agentic coding environment, through docs, skills, tools and MCP
  • We use Linear to spec our work, Graphite for stacked PRs and better review UX, Cubic for assisted code review, Blacksmith to run our CI/CD

In the Product:
  • Anything a user can do, an agent should be able to do - through tool calls, APIs and CLI
  • Like software, the work of accounting is changing from the acts of writing and doing to the acts of reading and reviewing - we're building to enable that future
  • Accuracy, auditability and security remain non-negotiable
  • Speed, efficiency and thoughtful simplicity are how we stand out


Our Stack
  • Backend: Elixir / Phoenix
  • Frontend: Next.js, TypeScript
  • Infrastructure: AWS, Terraform

We don't expect experience in everything.

If you've worked with functional languages, frameworks like Rails/Django, or modern frontend stacks, you'll ramp quickly. What matters most is your ability to learn, adapt, and build.

What We're Looking For
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals
  • Experience building with AI agents, LLM-powered systems, or workflow automation
  • Product mindset - you care about users and outcomes, not just implementation
  • Ability to operate in fast-paced environment where we embrace uncertainty
  • High ownership and willingness to wear multiple hats
  • Intuition for when to follow best practices and when to rethink them
Perks & Benefits
  • Competitive salary + equity
  • Health insurance
  • Pension plan
  • Latest tech (MacBook, monitors, etc.)
  • Learning budget (books, courses, conferences)
  • Unlimited vacation


Interview Process
  • Intro call
  • Technical assessment
  • Technical interview
  • Career history interview
  • Founder interview
