## Description

Experienced engineers who've made infrastructure a competitive advantage - not just reliable plumbing. You've owned the systems that let product teams ship with confidence, you think in tradeoffs, and you care deeply about how a team builds, not just what ships.

We're building industry-defining accounting and finance software. Our platform needs to scale with us, and we want an engineer who brings a point of view to that work.

Our Tech Stack: Svelte 5/TypeScript frontend, Kotlin + Spring Boot backend, PostgreSQL, AWS. We're AI-native - meaning thoughtful application, not outsourced thinking. Our engineers still reason from first principles; AI helps with execution.

We're looking for teammates within commutable distance of our NYC or SF offices (or willing to relocate). The team works in-office Tuesdays and Thursdays, plus one additional flexible day.

What You'll Do

 * Own the infrastructure, CI/CD, and developer tooling that keeps our engineering team shipping fast and safely at scale
 * Set the technical direction for reliability, security, and compliance - building these in from the ground up rather than bolting them on later
 * Shape the design and scalability of our external API, turning it into a competitive asset for customers and partners
 * Partner with engineering leadership to define roadmap priorities and translate ambiguous problems into clear technical plans
 * Raise the bar for engineering quality through design reviews, mentorship, and hands-on collaboration
