Full-time | On-site | New York City, NY


About the Role

Our client is a venture-backed AI software company building intelligent automation solutions for enterprise finance teams. They are seeking a Sr/Staff Software Engineer with 4–12 years of experience to own the foundational platform systems that power every product and engineering team.

What You'll Do

  • Build and own the core platform layer, including agent frameworks, orchestration, verification, observability, and developer tooling that every engineering team builds upon.
  • Design financial data platforms that ingest, normalize, and reconcile data from ERPs, banks, billing platforms, payroll systems, CRMs, and other enterprise systems into a trusted source of truth.
  • Work directly with customers and finance teams to understand business workflows and translate them into scalable platform capabilities.
  • Lead architectural decisions under ambiguity by identifying technical bottlenecks, making key engineering decisions, and contributing across the full stack when needed.
  • Drive cross-functional platform initiatives that increase engineering velocity and support the company's continued growth.


Requirements

Qualifications

  • 4–12 years of backend or platform software engineering experience using Python.
  • Experience building foundational platform, infrastructure, or framework systems that support multiple engineering teams or production workloads.
  • Proven success delivering high-impact, cross-functional engineering projects at scale.
  • Experience working in an early-stage startup environment (pre-Series B preferred).
  • Experience within fintech, accounting, ERP, payments, ledger systems, or related financial technology platforms.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related technical field.
  • Experience using AI-assisted development tools such as Cursor, Claude Code, or similar.
  • Strong expertise in distributed systems and data infrastructure.
  • Comfortable contributing across the stack using technologies such as TypeScript and React when needed.
  • Experience building enterprise integrations, APIs, and financial data pipelines.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to work directly with customers and translate business challenges into technical solutions.


Tech Stack

  • Python
  • TypeScript
  • React
  • AWS
  • Cursor
  • Claude


Benefits

Compensation & Benefits

  • Base salary: $180,000–$270,000
  • Meaningful early-stage equity (0.1–0.5%)
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k)
  • Visa sponsorship available (OPT, H-1B transfers, and H-1B sponsorship)
  • Full-time, onsite position in New York City (5 days per week)


Why Join?

  • Join a venture-backed AI company building technology that transforms enterprise finance operations.
  • Work directly with experienced founders and technical leadership in a highly collaborative environment.
  • Own foundational platform systems that have a company-wide impact.
  • Competitive compensation, meaningful equity, and comprehensive benefits.
  • Help shape the future of AI-powered enterprise software at an exciting stage of growth.
