> Builds scalable accounting infrastructure and models financial workflows for venture fund management, ensuring data integrity and audit-ready outputs. Requires 5+ years backend experience with Ruby on Rails, React, relational DBs, and finance domain knowledge.

## Job Description

## Responsibilities
- Model financial workflows—turning messy, real-world fund data into accurate and automated financials.
- Build scalable accounting infrastructure—improving how financial data is reported on the front-end, and building out how we read/write to the general ledger on the back-end.
- Solve hard data integrity problems—ensuring our system produces reliable and audit-ready outputs across a growing universe of funds.
- Collaborate directly with accounting stakeholders in a tight feedback loop, turning their manual processes into automated systems.

## Requirements
- Senior back-end engineer (Ruby on Rails or similar MVC frameworks) with 5+ years of experience, capable of owning features end to end and venturing into the frontend (React, TypeScript).
- Understand financial workflows or eager to dive deep into fund accounting, transaction processing, and general ledger systems.
- Thrive on complexity—modeling ambiguous problems, messy data, and evolving business requirements in a relational database (Postgres, MySQL) where every record is critical.
- Build for reliability—designing systems to produce audit-ready financial outputs, not best-effort calculations.
- Customer-oriented to solve complex business problems in collaboration with users in finance and accounting.
- Execution-focused, comfortable with balancing tradeoffs and making progress in a fast-moving environment.
- Deep love of startups, having worked in at least one.
