🚀 About Us

We are a fast-growing AI startup on a mission to build the world’s first AI-powered finance team. Our AI agents close books, reconcile cash, forecast revenue, and prepare board decks—instantly, accurately, and auditable in real-time.

Backed by $8.5M seed funding from Foundation Capital, the CEO of Perplexity, authors of the GPT paper, and leaders from Ramp, SAP, and Gusto, we’re solving the $1T+ financial back-office problem with cutting-edge AI infrastructure.

Founded by ex-Microsoft leaders who scaled Azure Finance ($200B+/yr) and Azure Data & AI ($200M+ ARR), we’re building a high-caliber team from the ground up.

🌟 Why Join Us

- Founding Engineer status – your fingerprints shape the stack, product & culture
- Build solutions for hard problems: reasoning agents, fragmented data, and AI infra under audit constraints
- Equity Ownership (0.3% – 1%) with flexible cash/equity tradeoff
- Be one of the first 3–4 backend engineers in a truly mission-critical role
- Remote-first setup in India, with Bangalore-based in-person collaboration in 3–9 months

🔧 What You’ll Do

- Architect and scale backend systems powering our AI-driven finance platform
- Build APIs and services using Python (FastAPI/Flask)
- Solve complex data integration challenges across financial systems
- Deliver features from 0 → 1 in collaboration with the founders
- Ensure performance, scalability, and audit compliance

✅ What We’re Looking For

- 4–8 years backend software engineering experience
- Strong builder/founder mindset – ideally ex-founder/CTO or early engineer at a VC-backed startup
- Proficiency in Python (FastAPI/Flask)
- Top-tier university background (IITs preferred)
- Clear motivation for a high-impact role

Nice-to-have: Experience in fintech, ERP/accounting systems, or AI infra

đź’ˇ Perks & Benefits

- Competitive salary + early equity (0.3% – 1%)
- Direct mentorship from world-class founders
- Work on high-impact systems shaping the future of finance
- Join a 6-day/week, highly driven team at the ground floor
