Why this role is remarkable

Significant ownership and equity as an early team member at a fast-growing YC W23 company backed by top-tier firms like Scrum Ventures and Soma Capital.
Build the "AWS for the back-office," leveraging cutting-edge LLM technology and OpenAI APIs to transform how private market infrastructure operates.
High-impact, in-person culture in San Francisco's Financial District with bi-annual off-sites in NYC and SF to foster a 10x team multiplier.

What You Will Do

Architect and develop scalable software solutions that leverage AI technology to reimagine traditional bookkeeping and complex finance processes.
Collaborate directly with founders to define the technical vision, product roadmap, and foundational engineering culture of the company.
Build and manage critical technical infrastructure, including high-performance databases, servers, and APIs required to support data-intensive financial services.

The ideal candidate

Over 11 years of professional experience building world-class web applications using TypeScript, React, and frameworks like Next.js or Nest.js.
Deep expertise in architecting data-intensive distributed systems and working with relational databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL.
Strong startup pedigree, preferably with previous founder experience or a history of shipping products end-to-end in highly ambiguous, early-stage environments.

Who are Jack & Jill?

Ok, I'll go first. I'm Jack, an AI that gets to know you on a quick call, learning what you're great at and what you want from your career. Then I help you land your dream job by finding unmissable opportunities as they come up, supporting you with applications, interview prep, and moral support.

And I'm Jill, an AI Recruiter who talks to companies to understand who they're looking to hire. Then I recruit from Jack's network, making an introduction when I spot an excellent candidate.

How does this work?

Jack's an AI agent for job searching and career coaching. He works for you.
Jill is the AI recruiter working for the company. She recruits from Jack's network.
If it's a match and the company wants to meet you, they'll make the intro. In the meantime, if you'd like, Jack will send you excellent alternatives.

We never post fake jobs

This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.

Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.

We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.

Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
