About Era

At Era, we’re on a mission to make financial advice universally accessible, helping everyone manage their finances effortlessly, regardless of knowledge or time constraints. We believe in a future where financial well-being is on autopilot, where people no longer need to navigate complex systems or worry about making the wrong decisions. With the power of AI, we simplify the financial landscape by translating everyday language into actionable financial moves.

Our platform connects to your existing financial accounts, prevents common pitfalls—like carrying a credit card balance while saving money—and actively manages your finances by enabling money transfers, trades, and personalized insights from real-time global events. Era goes beyond budgeting, allowing you to interact with your money directly. Whether it's through automated routines or our AI assistant, we make sure your finances work for you.

With strong backing from top-tier VCs, an expanding open beta, and a bold vision to reach millions globally, we are a seed-stage startup on an exciting growth trajectory. Join us in reshaping how the world thinks about and interacts with their finances.

About the Team

Our team is made up of passionate ex-Stripe and Square leaders and engineers who’ve built and scaled products at some of the most respected companies in fintech. We believe in the power of design and engineering to create seamless, impactful experiences. Our team is small but mighty, consisting of design engineers, foundation engineers, and product builders who all share a deep commitment to craft, user research, and innovation.

At Era, we’re highly collaborative and value thoughtful creativity. We set a high bar for quality, but we also know how to balance our drive with life outside work. Our culture is rooted in kindness, empathy, and ownership—everyone has the freedom to take control of their corner of the product and the responsibility to drive it forward. We work hard, but we believe in working to live, not living to work.

Our hybrid model allows for in-person collaboration in Brooklyn and San Francisco, but we welcome remote talent who are just as passionate about our mission. If you’re someone who loves bringing new ideas to life, values autonomy, and wants to help millions achieve financial freedom, Era might be the right place for you.
