Description of the role
You'll architect and build our AI-native Accounting system — the financial brain for autonomous systems. We are not building another finance tool. We are building the intelligence layer that enables natural language finance—where executives can ask 'What did our almond processing cost last quarter?' and field workers can say 'Log this expense for the north field harvest.' You'll create a system where autonomous agents handle bookkeeping, payments, and forecasting, replacing traditional forms and manual processes entirely. By reimagining accounting as autonomous intelligence, you'll help build a system that lets autonomous systems scale across agriculture, healthcare, construction, and beyond. You'll work directly with the founders, own technical decisions, and lay the foundation for a potentially massive and fast growing SaaS company.
