About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Set technical direction for agentic financial audit experiences, making architectural decisions that balance autonomy, reliability, and auditability
Own the most complex, ambiguous engineering problems on the team and drive them to resolution without needing a well-defined path handed to you
Design and build agent-driven workflows from the ground up, defining where AI autonomy is appropriate and where human judgment needs to stay in the loop
Partner with product and design to shape what we build, not just how we build it, bringing technical perspective into roadmap and strategy conversations early
Mentor and grow the engineers around you through code review, pairing, and the way you approach and communicate hard problems
Contribute to our interview process and help us raise the bar as we scale the team

Requirements

What you’ll need

A seasoned full-stack engineer with a track record of driving large, complex projects from an ambiguous problem to production
Experienced in setting technical direction at the team or org level, not just delivering within it
Comfortable operating where the requirements are unclear and the right answer isn't obvious
A strong technical collaborator who influences product and design decisions
Already using AI coding tools as a core part of how you work, and thoughtful about where agentic approaches create real leverage
Able to build deep domain knowledge fast; you don't need to know financial auditing today, but you'll understand it well enough to make the right technical calls within months
A multiplier on the engineers around you; your impact extends well beyond your own code
