  • Build and maintain enduring financial architecture designed for agents
  • 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

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

  • Own reliability at scale: Build and own monitoring, alerting, and incident response to get our customers paid fast
  • Ship fast: Land changes that help customers daily and default to action
  • 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.
