Extremely fast growth: We’ve partnered with some of the largest accounting firms in the world, with revenue 10x-ing over the last 5 months

About The Role
As a leader on our Data Modeling team, you'll be responsible for designing and building the world that our AI systems interact with. We are looking for engineers with experience modeling interconnected systems, developing coding abstractions, and designing/debating the trade-offs and constraints of a system.
In this role, you will set the context and rules in which our AI agents operate.
How do we model and explain accounting to an agent?
What does the agent need to know about accounting at any given stage?
What are the constraints of navigating the accounting world?
What We Look For
Experienced: 5+ years of developing complex systems (Python preferred); open to exceptional candidates with fewer years and evidence of exceptional ability
First principles reasoner: Able to break complex concepts down to their fundamental elements and then build from there
Leader: Knows what needs to get done and how to get there
Interdisciplinary: Willing and interested to jump across multiple disciplines
Company-builder: Excited to lay the groundwork, technically and culturally, as we rapidly scale
Eagle-eyed: Spots and recruits engineering talent
Collaborative: Dedicated to mentoring others and open to being mentored in return
Passionate: Genuinely excited about our tech and its impact on accounting, finance, and the economy
Curious: Loves to play with new ideas/tech
Office lover: Prefers shouting across a room over a slack message, seeking full-time in-office in NYC
All-in: This is not a 9-5, we have a massive opportunity ahead of us and are looking to further accelerate our velocity. We are optimizing for the best folks and happy to compensate generously
In accordance with New York State regulations, the salary range for this position is $100,000–$300,000. This range represents our broad compensation philosophy and covers various responsibility and experience levels. Additionally, all employees are eligible to participate in our equity plan and benefits program. We are committed to meritocratic and competitive compensation.
