About the Team

We're building product experiences where AI Accountants work as capable partners with humans, making complex accounting workflows simple, safe, and trustworthy.

LLMs put general intelligence inside software, which changes everything about how products work. We're designing completely new ways for humans and AI to work together. Just as mobile changed how we think about UI, AI requires new architectures, abstractions, and ways of thinking.

We work from first principles in small teams with quick feedback loops. We partner closely with Accounting SMEs, Design, PM, Research, and Platform. We think in systems, value clean abstractions and interfaces, and write code that's observable, maintainable, and easy for both humans and AI agents to work with..

About the role

As a Product Engineer at Basis, you'll own your projects completely from start to finish. You'll be the Responsible Party (RP) for your work. That means you define the problem, figure out the solution, build it, and measure whether it worked.

We trust you to manage yourself. You'll set your own goals, plan your own time, and make the calls on both technical and product decisions. You'll talk directly to users, learn what they need, and keep iterating until the product works seamlessly.

What You'll Be Doing:

Build intelligent product experiences

• Design and ship user-facing products that combine AI capabilities with reliable workflows.

• Build APIs, data models, and frontend flows that are clear and dependable.

• Integrate LLM capabilities like retrieval, reconciliation, and guardrails into the product.

• Write code that's structured so AI agents can understand and work with it.

Own projects from planning through delivery

• Write clear project scopes and architecture docs.

• Build, test, and monitor your systems from start to finish.

• Track progress, identify blockers early, and measure results with data.

• Ship confidently with proper logging, feature flags, CI/CD, and rollback plans.

Learn fast and share knowledge

• Work directly with accountants and users to understand their needs.

• Turn what you learn into better UX and systems.

• Document and share your learnings to help the whole team move faster.

📍 Location: NYC, Flatiron office. In-person team.

What Success Looks Like

• You plan, build, and deliver projects independently while being accountable for results.

• Your systems are reliable, easy to understand, and built for continuous improvement.

• You simplify complex problems and ship products quickly.

• Both users and AI agents can depend on what you build.

• You help raise the standard for how we build software at Basis.
