Our Mission

Our mission is to build a superhuman AI financial modelling agent for every executive in the world.

Financial models underpin every important decision a company makes. The process of building them today is broken – financial modelling is, by far, the worst-tooled form of programming. We think there is a $100bn+ opportunity to fix that – think of us as Cursor → Lovable for financial models.

The Role

We are hiring founding engineers. These are the most important hires we will ever make. We have a stacked product roadmap which you will be responsible for large parts of. More than that, you will help us grow the company, build an inspiring culture, and solve the thousands of unanticipated problems that come with that.

Responsibilities

You will help us deliver our immediate technical priorities, including:

  • Performance optimisation
  • Transpiler development
  • Diffing algorithms
  • Hybrid search pipelines
  • Custom evals
  • Model post-training
  • Production engineering

We expect you to be a technical leader in our company:

  • Problem-solving input into key engineering decisions
  • Ownership of significant portions of the product
  • People leadership and hiring

Who you are

Your work is better than your peers. The things you do succeed, because you don't give up and you are clever. Either you're in a high-status organisation that limits you, or the market hasn't yet recognised you're a winner. Great! You will find a home with us.

Specifically, you are:

  • A top-decile engineer
  • Experience in any of the following is a plus, but not required: competitive programming, Typescript + React, AI Agents, DevOps

What we offer

  • Top quartile salary, meaningful equity ownership –> financial freedom if we succeed
  • Intense intellectual and technical challenges
  • High calibre colleagues
  • A truth-seeking culture that values real-world outcomes above hierarchy and internal process
