If you’re ready to do the most ambitious work of your career, join us.
We hire successful builders with founder-like energy who want real impact, accelerated learning, and true ownership. You bring strong role-related expertise and sharp thinking, and you’re motivated by our mission and operating principles. You move fast with good judgment, dig deep with curiosity, and make decisions from first principles, balancing speed and rigor.
You're humble and collaborative; turn zero‑to‑one ideas into real products, and you “get stuff done” end-to-end. You use AI to work smarter and solve problems faster. Here, you’ll tackle complex, high‑visibility problems with exceptional teammates and grow your career as we build the future of global banking. If that sounds like you, let’s build what’s next.
About the Team
This team is building production AI that eliminates financial busywork for startups globally. We're delivering intelligent automation across payments, payroll, bookkeeping, and tax—freeing founders to focus on building their companies instead of managing finances.
We leverage cutting-edge AI tooling across the spectrum: from prompt engineering and in-context learning to fine-tuned models and agentic systems, choosing the right approach for each problem. We work backward from real founder pain points, own customer outcomes, and ship fast.
The team is small, elite, and builder-focused, led by operators with a track record of shipping AI products at scale. You'll solve hard technical problems with real autonomy and direct customer impact.
About the Role
You’ll build the user-facing layer that connects people with intelligent financial systems. Our stack is Vite, React, and Tailwind, and your work will define how users trust, understand, and engage with AI-driven workflows.
What You’ll Do
Deliver responsive, performant UIs using Vite, React, and Tailwind.
Build modular design systems and component libraries.
Translate complex backend and AI reasoning into intuitive user interfaces.
Collaborate with backend and AI teams to design clean contracts and data flows.
Continuously improve usability, accessibility, and performance.
What You Need to Have
7+ years building modern frontend applications (React, TypeScript).
Strong product sense and customer-centric mindset.
Experience with scalable frontend architectures and design systems.
Proven ability to deliver polished, high-impact experiences.
Knowledge of testing frameworks (Cypress, Playwright, React Testing Library).
