About Us

We’re building toward the AI-native back-office for small businesses, autonomous agents that do the work, paired with expert-backed service and a clean, modern surface owners actually want to use. Our AI Ledger, autonomous bookkeeping that closes books in hours instead of weeks, with reporting and P&L statements that are accurate, current, and trustworthy. It's the most strategic bet on the roadmap.

We’re a lean, high-trust team. That means less process, fewer layers, and more ownership. Engineers here don’t just ship code; they shape the product, influence decisions, and see their work directly impact customers.

The Opportunity

We're looking for a Senior Product Engineer who thrives in ambiguity, ships fast, cares deeply about building reliable, well-crafted systems, and works AI-first by default.

You’ll work across the stack to design and build core financial workflows, from backend systems and APIs to the user-facing experiences that make them usable. You’ll play a key role in shaping our architecture, product direction, and how we operate as an engineering team. You’ll ship faster than a 2025 engineer, by steering AI to do most of the implementation while you focus on judgment, decomposition, and verification. You know what good looks like!

This is a hands-on role with real ownership with direct report to the CTO. You’ll be trusted to make decisions, not just execute.

 
What You’ll Do
  • Own and ship full-stack features end-to-end, from shaping early ideas to delivering production systems used by customers daily

  • Build complex, data-dense interfaces — review queues, journal entry editors, reconciliation workflows, agent-state visualization, financial reports — that don't break under real customer data

  • Use AI tooling as your primary mode of writing code - Claude Code, Codex, or equivalent. AI does most of the implementation work under your direction; you own architecture, decomposition, verification, and review. Push back when AI gets it wrong — taste and judgment are why you're here, not raw typing speed.

  • Architect backend services and APIs that handle sensitive financial data with high standards for performance, security, and data integrity

  • Build clean, fast, and intuitive frontend experiences that translate complex financial concepts into simple user workflows

  • Make pragmatic technical decisions balancing speed, quality, and long-term maintainability without over-engineering

  • Debug and resolve production issues across the stack; improve observability and system resilience over time

  • Identify and address performance bottlenecks, scaling challenges, and areas of technical debt

  • Collaborate closely with product and design to shape roadmap and deliver meaningful user outcomes

  • Help define how we build by contributing to code quality, architecture decisions, and team practices

  • Mentor other engineers and raise the bar through thoughtful feedback and hands-on support

 
What We’re Looking For
  • 7+ years shipping production software, with at least 3 years in modern web stacks (React, TypeScript, Node, Python)

  • Demonstrable AI-augmented engineering chops. You've actually shipped meaningful work with Claude Code / Cursor / Codex at the wheel, and can articulate what you delegate vs. what you own

  • A track record of shipping at startup pace, with strong opinions about scope, sequence, and what's worth building

  • Comfort working across the stack, including infrastructure and data layers

  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or similar)

  • Strong product instincts. You think about user impact, not just implementation

  • Ability to operate independently and make sound decisions in a fast-moving, low-structure environment

  • Clear communicator who collaborates well across disciplines

 
Nice to Have
  • Backend depth - Postgres, async workers, agent orchestration patterns, LLM API integration

  • Prior FinTech, accounting, or expense management product experience

  • Familiarity with third-party financial APIs (e.g., Stripe, Plaid, QBO)

  • Exposure to security, compliance, or regulated environments (SOC 2, PCI, etc.)

  • Design system contribution - you've shipped tokens and components, not just consumed them

  • Open-source presence or public AI-engineering writing

 
How We Work
  • Small, collaborative team with high ownership and low ego

  • We prioritize progress over perfection, but care deeply about quality

  • Engineers are expected to think, not just execute

  • We value clear communication, good judgment, and accountability

 
Why Join Us
  • Competitive compensation and equity

  • Medical, Dental, Vision plans

  • Generous PTO, plus company holidays

  • Remote-first work environment (must be able to overlap with East Coast time zone)

  • Quarterly team offsites (you will likely need to travel to various locations)

  • Home office setup stipend

  • High-impact role with real ownership over product and technical direction

  • Opportunity to build in a complex, meaningful space (financial systems matter)

  • Direct access to leadership and fast decision-making.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
