About this role
About the RoleThis is a maximum-ownership founding engineering role at a pre-seed AI-native fintech startup building autonomous agent workflows for private market operations. The platform connects to inboxes, web portals, and financial data sources to extract data, reconcile bank accounts, and generate journal entries for existing ERPs — turning what used to take fund accounting teams days of manual work into a matter of minutes, with full traceability and real-time collaboration.
You will work side-by-side with the founding team and early design partners, shaping the product roadmap, contributing to hiring, and taking on meaningful ownership from day one. Top performers will have the opportunity to grow quickly into a leadership role.
