About You

In a nutshell, we're looking for an experienced "generalist" engineer with the following qualities:

• You have a proven track record of delivering high-quality software consistently and quickly.
• You're naturally curious, entrepreneurial-minded, and thrive in environments with significant autonomy.
• You're comfortable across the stack and prioritize delivering real customer value over trendy tech.
• You prefer impact and results over complexity—when someone says a project will take weeks, you look for ways it could take days.
• You excel at collaborating with non-technical stakeholders and understand the value of clear communication.

What You’ll Be Doing

Every day, you'll directly influence how hundreds of small businesses handle their books by designing, building, and deploying cutting-edge software. Your work will be guided by directly observing the problems our customers face, allowing you to deliver real impact.

Have ideas for agentic workflows to improve our AI Bookkeeper? Think you can streamline our document ingestion pipeline by extracting structured data from thousands of invoices, tax documents, and bank statements? What about creating new experiences for our customers to reduce the amount of work they need to do?

This year, you'll be pivotal in scaling our AI Bookkeeper across our customer portfolio, bringing sophisticated automation to hundreds of businesses. Additionally, you'll tackle the ambitious goal of overhauling our tax department to automatically generate accurate, ready-to-file tax returns directly from financial statements.

You'll have the autonomy, ownership, and resources to turn bold ideas into impactful reality, directly improving the daily lives of small business owners nationwide.

Requirements

• You have 5+ years of experience as a full-stack engineer.
• You’re located in San Francisco, the Bay Area, or Phoenix (or willing to relocate).
