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

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
