- Manage, evolve, and extend your architecture and design to thousands of use cases that slow down payment in B2B
- 4+ years building and operating production backend systems. You've built them, broken them, and scaled them yourself
- We own our work end to end and obsess over getting the details right.
- Excited to build in person in Flatiron, NYC
- We are sharing everything we've learned building our past companies (25% of the team are 2nd time founders).
Requirements
- You understand the tradeoffs you're making and you know when something has to be rebuilt instead of patched
- You move fast with it and you know exactly when not to use it
- Have experience with fintech or payments data systems
- This workflow is complex, too many integrations are required and the last mile in AR is too bespoke for general purpose models
Skills
- Monk is an AI-native accounts receivable (AR) platform for B2B companies helping businesses get paid fast.
- The AR stack is broken.
- Finance teams still chase payments with spreadsheets, reconcile AR in spreadsheets and use software that was built a decade ago.
- Trillions of dollars sit in outstanding invoices and the tools to unlock cashflow are stuck in the past.
Compensation
- Competitive salary and meaningful equity
Benefits
- Real ownership and an opportunity to 10x your learning curve.
- Competitive salary and meaningful equity
- Medical/dental/vision, flexible paid time off and dinner stipend
Company info

- Build and own monitoring, alerting, and incident response to get our customers paid fast
- We believe that our Customers deserve the best possible outcomes and we strive to produce work that would get a 12/10 reaction from either our Customers or members of our team.
