Quanta Finance

We're building a new system of record for finance, one that understands not just the numbers, but the business context behind them. At its core is our Operational Ledger: a financial data layer that preserves every event, calculation, policy, source, and decision behind the financials, rather than reducing them to contextless entries.

Questions that once took weeks to answer become as routine as a Google search: Why did margins change? Which customers are actually profitable? How are we tracking against budget? We're not bolting AI onto legacy software. Quanta was built from the ground up around granular financial data, flexible primitives, and systems that agents can safely understand and act on.

We've spent years closing the books for real, fast-growing companies and turning what we learn into product. We've already replaced much of what QuickBooks and NetSuite can do and the manual work surrounding them. Customers are now turning off legacy accounting systems and moving to Quanta.

We're still early. The problems are hard, the ambition is enormous, and there's no playbook for what we're building.

We're a small tight-knit team working together in person in downtown San Francisco. Our team brings together deep expertise in engineering and finance. We've built accounting systems at Affirm, ledgers at Stripe and Robinhood, launched products from 01, scaled infrastructure processing billions of dollars, built finance functions, and closed the books under real operating pressure.

We understand our customers because we have been in their shoes. Quanta's earliest product was built around a few principles we still value: get to learning as quickly as possible, find the simplest solution that works, and build alongside real users and real-world edge cases.

Quanta is for people who want ownership, prioritize learning and outcomes over conventional playbooks, and are comfortable figuring things out as they go. The principles behind our earliest product still shape how we build today: get to learning fast, choose the simplest solution that works, and build with real users in the messy reality of real-world edge cases.

• 8 or more years of frontend engineering experience, including ownership of architecture or shared standards

• Deep experience in React and TypeScript in complex product environments

• Strong systems thinking across components, state, and API boundaries

• A track record of raising engineering standards, not just shipping features

• Comfort working in a dense, data-heavy domain

• Clear technical judgment and the confidence to use it

Bonus points for experience with financial systems, ledgers, or accounting workflows. You are excited about working in person with a collaborative team in San Francisco.

• You prefer clearly defined problems with detailed specs, rather than shaping solutions in ambiguous spaces.

• You are uncomfortable working in a complex, judgment-heavy domain where correctness depends on context, not just code.

• You optimize for speed by accepting known gaps in reliability. Trust matters deeply in the systems we build.

• You are primarily interested in AI as a standalone feature, rather than as part of a larger, constrained system.

• You prefer working independently or remotely from domain experts. This team works closely and in person by design.

• The frontend has a coherent architecture and consistent patterns.

• Core surfaces have been refactored into reusable abstractions.

• Engineers and AI tools ship within established guardrails.

• Review load decreases because standards are encoded into the system.

• Accountants instinctively drill into numbers to validate outputs.

• The UI reinforces the correctness of the ledger.

Build a category, not just features. We're not selling a slightly better version of an established tool. We're changing what companies should expect from their financial systems.

Join early enough to matter. We're a small team. The things you discover, build, and prove can become part of how Quanta sells for years.

Learn directly from exceptional people. You'll work alongside founders, engineers, and finance leaders who have built financial infrastructure and operated finance functions firsthand.

Grow with the company. We're looking for someone who wants to master outbound, take on increasing ownership, and help us build the sales organization that comes next.
