Having recently announced our $45m series B, now couldn't be a better time to join!
About the role
We're hiring our first Applied AI Engineer to work directly with our Advisory Intelligence Product Engineer and the VP of Advisory Intelligence on net-new product. You'll have full-stack ownership from Postgres schema to React UI, and you'll collaborate directly with the VP on prompt architecture, workflow design, and product roadmap. The team is small on purpose.
This is a high-autonomy seat with real room to grow. You'll experiment, ship, and shape the toolkit's direction. As the practice scales, the right person grows into a technical leader for the function.
What you'll do
The Advisory Intelligence toolkit covers the full accounting workflow: transaction-level close processes, chart of accounts benchmarking, policy generation, fit-gap analysis against institutional standards, and financial reporting outputs. Each tool combines deterministic logic (the parts where being wrong has financial consequences) with AI layers that draw on a structured library of real client engagements. You'll work across the suite with primary ownership on net-new builds.
Collaborate directly with the VP on prompt architecture, workflow design, and product roadmap. You're a builder who shapes what gets built.
Own full-stack feature delivery from Postgres schema through API layer through React UI
Build and maintain multi-step AI pipelines: prompt chaining, structured output parsing, confidence scoring, failure recovery, and audit-trail logging
Integrate third-party financial data APIs into production tool workflows
Build financial document ingestion: parse uploaded spreadsheets and structured reports into typed data models for downstream AI processing
Maintain and extend the deterministic pre-processing and heuristic layers that make AI output reliable enough for audit
Contribute to the AI output evaluation framework: structured test inputs, expected outputs, scoring rubrics
Work cross-functionally with finance practitioners, product, design, and leadership to scope what gets built and push back on specs that miss
What you'll bring
Core engineering
Production full-stack TypeScript: shipped real systems, not side projects
Strong Node.js backend: REST APIs, middleware auth, async pipelines with batching, concurrency limits, retries, timeouts
React and TypeScript for complex UI: state management with Zustand, schema validation with Zod, views that stay responsive at scale
Exposure to distributed systems and microservice architectures: you understand the failure modes (partial writes, retries, ordering, observability) even if you haven't owned a microservice deployment end-to-end
Data and Postgres
Strong Postgres: data modeling for workflow and run-oriented schemas, indexing strategy, query troubleshooting at table scale
Experience designing versioned config and audit-trail schemas. Append-only matters in compliance contexts and you've built for it.
How you operate
Strong communicator, written and verbal. You can explain a technical decision to a finance practitioner and a product spec back to engineering.
You take initiative. When the spec is wrong, you propose alternatives. When something's broken, you don't wait to be asked.
You work cross-functionally without friction. Finance, product, design, leadership are all on your week, not just other engineers.
Comfortable owning a feature from schema to UI without handoffs
Bonus points
Hands-on production LLM work with AWS Bedrock, OpenAI, or the Anthropic SDK at real throughput
Multi-step prompt workflows: chaining, structured output extraction, confidence thresholds, graceful degradation
Debugged AI in production. You know where prompt issues end and infrastructure issues begin.
Next.js App Router experience: API routes, SSR in data-dense interfaces
Background job infrastructure for AI workflows (BullMQ, pg-boss, or similar)
Finance or accounting tooling experience. Familiarity with GAAP/IFRS, month-end close, or audit process is a real advantage.
AWS deployments, Docker, CI/CD pipeline ownership
Logging, monitoring, and production debugging in distributed systems
Parsing financial document formats (Excel, structured CSV, ERP exports) into typed pipelines
