About the role

  • You'll be expected to use modern AI tools and agent-based workflows to accelerate development, improve code quality, and unlock new product capabilities.
  • This role is ideal for engineers who are hungry to grow into broader ownership, think in terms of outcomes, and see AI as a core part of how software gets built today.
  • Improve the transaction pipeline that flows from bank feeds through our accounting platform into our data layer, including reliability, observability, and drift detection between source and destination

Responsibilities

  • Build and ship features across the accounting product - from member-facing reconciliation and bookkeeping experiences to internal tooling that powers our accounting and bookkeeping operators
  • Work on the integration layer between Collective and our partners that includes extending APIs, handling edge cases, and improving data reliability
  • Own well-scoped features end-to-end with support from senior engineers to define the approach, build, deploy, instrument, and iterate
  • Partner with Product, Design, and Operations to translate accounting workflows into clean software, and surface engineering tradeoffs early
  • Clear communication and collaboration skills across technical and non-technical partners
  • Ability to take a well-scoped problem and drive it to a shipped, instrumented solution with light guidance

Requirements

  • Demonstrated ability to integrate AI agents and automation into development workflows and product features

Nice to have

  • 3-4 years of experience building and shipping production software in a product-focused environment
  • Experience integrating with third-party APIs and working with messy, real-world data
  • Familiarity with SQL and working with data warehouses (BigQuery a plus)
  • Interest in the accounting / fintech / payroll domain, or a track record of getting up to speed quickly in a new domain

Skills

  • Use AI-powered development tools (copilots, code agents, agent workflows) day-to-day to move faster and cut manual overhead
  • Solid fullstack engineering skills (e.g., Python, Django, React, or similar modern frameworks)
  • Hands-on use of AI developer tools (copilots, code agents) in your day-to-day workflow - not just experiments

Compensation

  • Team Connection: Quarterly virtual events and an annual in-person summit.

Benefits

  • Commuter Support: $150 monthly reimbursement for transit expenses.
  • Health & Wellness: $200 quarterly reimbursement to support your well-being.
  • Time Off: Flexible PTO plus 14 company holidays.
  • Comprehensive Coverage: 100% medical, dental, and vision for employees; 75% coverage for dependents.
  • Parental Leave: 16 weeks fully paid.
  • Retirement & Ownership: 401k plan plus an equity package.
