Software Engineer, Product

Job description

WHY NUMERIC? Every business relies on accounting. Yet most software in the space was built in the early 2000s — clunky, slow, and far behind the curve on AI. Today, accountants are facing a growing, unsolved data problem https://numeric.substack.com/p/accountings-data-problem as a consequence of complexity, data, and system fragmentation — and they lack the tools to solve it. The problems are real, hard, and increasingly urgent. But they’re solvable https://numeric.substack.com/p/accounting-will-retrace-the-path. Enter Numeric — the modern platform for accounting and finance. We're building the platform that realizes the dream of live, rich, trustworthy data and insights for companies to drive decision-making & execution. We tackle foundational challenges required to automate ingest, transformation, matching, projection, and reporting for an end-to-end graph of financial data. Weaving together data, automation, workflows, and AI-first experiences, we’re empowering accounting teams to own the continuous window into companies' finances and activity. We have strong product market fit and a growing base of customers who love our product — including Anthropic, Brex, OpenAI, Plaid, Wealthfront, and many more. We’re backed by top-tier investors including IVP, Menlo Ventures, Founders Fund, and 8VC, along with founders and executives from Ramp, Segment, and other category-defining companies. The Role Our product teams are responsible for inventing the future of finance and accounting. We work at the whiteboard, we bring fresh eyes to a complex domain, we break down problems to their fundamentals, and we relentlessly seek the right answer to a problem. We have teams in both SF and NYC that are hiring product engineers. There is no single exact profile of skill and background that can succeed, but we rather seek to understand your strengths and assemble teams that work excellently together. You might be a fit if… - You care about finding the right abstraction - You find learning a new, complex domain to be an exciting challenge - You combine a commitment to high quality work with a desire to win and tackle ambitious goals What you need - 5+ years of experience building software - Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Math, or Philosophy - High motivation and agency Bonus points for… - Experience with building software in complex domains - Fintech or accounting-adjacent experience - Experience founding a business or building products from scratch HOW WE WORK This role is in-person in New York City. As an engineer at Numeric you will learn the domain, meet your users, and exercise substantial creativity and agency over product direction. You'll work with a high-pace, high-integrity team that loves collaboration. We believe the best company is the one with the best ICs and we’ve built a culture to maximize great work. We believe great product & engineering come from a desire to win, a deep care for the craft, and a pragmatism in shipping for overall impact. As engineers we ground our work in our understanding of the users, the domain, and the goals for our organization. We strongly believe we will only be successful if everyone on the team is anchored in our following set of core principles: - Own the Outcome: We own our results. We typically hire builders and give them large mandates with high-trust. Engineers are responsible not just for code, but for ensuring the product is solving the end problems of the users. - Brick by Brick: To win, our team needs to show up and execute in each domain every day. - Love the Game: We focus on the craft and a deep sense of giving a f*ck. We’re building a company full of people who are equally engaged and motivated. - Earn the right: Our ability to rethink how things are done depends on the trust and reputation we build by shipping quality products and improving the lives of our users. - SALY: We refuse to accept “Same As Last Year.” We bring fresh eyes to a stagnated and underserved domain. We’re driven by a first-principles approach to building better solutions.
