Hands-on CTO for an AI-native accounting company

Accounting software today is forms, menus, and frustration. We're building something else.

You say what you need. AI does it. Not a chatbot that explains how to post a transaction. An AI that posts it and knows what to do next.

This is category defining work. Most AI features are simple wrappers around third party APIs. We're building the engine underneath: a multi agent system that actually does accounting work, autonomously.

We have a working product and great feedback from users. Now we need someone to take it from "works" to "scales."

You will:

• Build real things that real users depend on every day
• Own architecture and technical decisions
• Work tightly with the CEO on product, strategy, and priorities
• Lead and grow the engineering team
• Make decisions with incomplete information and course-correct as you learn

You have:

• Shipped production systems that handled real financial data
• Hands-on experience with LLMs in production, not just demos
• Led engineers, not just coordinated them
• The judgment to know when "good enough" is actually good enough

Technologies you'll work with:

• TypeScript, Node.js, Next.js, PostgreSQL, GCP
• LLMs, MCP, our own multi-agent orchestration system
• Real-time systems (WebSocket, event-driven patterns)

Abilities that will help you succeed:

Ownership – You see a problem and fix it. You don't wait for permission or point fingers.

Pragmatism – You ship and iterate. You don't over-engineer or wait for perfection.

Clarity – You make the complex simple, both in code and in solution.

We offer:

• A role that grows with the company
• Great colleagues who care deeply about what we're building
• Competitive salary and benefits
• Solid financial backing
