Software Engineer

Up to $250K + equity Boston, MA On-site Finance data AI Venture-backed 40 people

About the role

You will join an early-stage AI startup automating the office of the CFO for private-equity-backed businesses. The team has rebuilt its platform from scratch over the past year, has dozens of active customers, and is on a clear path to profitability. Revenue is accelerating month over month, and you will be joining at a point where the roadmap has more to build than the team has capacity to ship.


What you'll do


  1. Take new product features from the first scoping all the way to production.
  2. Build and architect scalable backend services and APIs using Python and FastAPI.
  3. Sit with customers and their finance teams and turn what they need into technical decisions.
  4. Make smart trade-off calls between business needs and technical constraints on live products.
  5. Use AI coding tools including Claude Code as a core part of your daily development workflow.
  6. Improve observability, reliability, and developer experience across a modern distributed platform.
  7. Report directly to the Head of Engineering with ownership of major product initiatives.


Who you are


  1. Bring 2 or more years of experience writing and shipping production software.
  2. Think in systems: you consider how software scales, operates, and serves real customers.
  3. Move quickly, take ownership, and do not need close supervision to produce good work.
  4. Communicate clearly about technical decisions and the reasoning behind trade-offs you made.
  5. Care about building products that solve customer problems, not just writing clean code.
  6. Have worked in a services or distributed systems environment, even if not at scale.
  7. Bonus: You have experience with financial data, general ledger systems, or PE-backed companies.


Tech stack


Python, FastAPI, DuckDB, dbt, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Prometheus, Claude Code


Why you'll thrive


  1. Equity at a validated, revenue-generating company.
  2. Up to $250K + equity, for people who back themselves.
  3. Two and a half years of runway, accelerating revenue, and a realistic path to profitability without a raise.
  4. Small engineering team of four means your work ships fast and your impact is visible immediately.
  5. Distribution through private equity partners gives the business a structural growth advantage most startups lack.
