Who We NeedExperienced software engineers who drive real business impact - whether that's owning a product capability, leading a technical system, or shaping engineering strategy across teams. You've scaled through high-growth, you partner well cross-functionally, and you care about how a team builds, not just what ships.
We're building industry-defining accounting and finance software. We want engineers who bring a point of view to the work.
Our Tech Stack: Svelte 5/TypeScript frontend, Kotlin + Spring Boot backend, PostgreSQL, AWS. We're AI-native - meaning thoughtful application, not outsourced thinking. Our engineers still reason from first principles; AI helps with execution.
We're looking for teammates within commutable distance of our NYC or SF offices (or willing to relocate). The team works 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
- Raise the bar for engineering quality: continuous delivery, test-driven development, production reliability, and a culture of ownership
- Grow the team around you through code reviews, mentorship, and hands-on collaboration
Who We're Looking For- 5+ years of software engineering experience, with a track record on complex, large-scale projects
- Strong backend fundamentals and willingness to jump into frontend when needed
- Comfortable making technical decisions and navigating hard tradeoffs at whatever scope your role demands
- Strong product instincts - you think about user impact, not just technical correctness
- Energized by building in a fast-moving environment where the playbook is still being written
Bonus Points- Experience in fintech, ERP, or accounting software
- Hands-on experience with Kotlin, Java, or TypeScript,
- Familiarity with enterprise readiness (SOC 2, SSO/SAML, audit logging, or similar)
