Where You'll Create Impact

  • Build!

  • Design backend systems and APIs (Python preferred) that run real-time, business-critical accounting logic

  • Ship features end to end - architecture, CI/CD, testing, monitoring, and beyond

  • Integrate third-party tools and external systems, proactively managing edge cases and risk

What Sets You Up for Success

  • Hardcore work ethic and high agency

  • 5+ years in backend engineering (language agnostic)

  • Deep experience with complex business logic products

  • Strong database skills: PostgreSQL, SQL, ORMs, migrations, schema design

  • Experience deploying on AWS (or similar), with solid CI/CD and production-readiness fundamentals

  • Bonus: Python and a modern web framework (FastAPI, Flask, or Django)

Why You’ll Thrive Here

  • Significant equity ownership in one of the top AI companies in the world

  • You’re joining early and will grow with DualEntry

  • Your feedback shapes the product directly

  • High-speed, high-trust environment with high expectations

How You Operate

  • Pragmatic: you like to move forward and make decisions based in reality (not theory). We don't debate if Cassandra has the most theoretical scalability - we use Postgres until it breaks

  • Hard working: 'You can work long, hard, or smart, but [here] you can't choose two out of three' - Jeff Bezos.

  • Curious: you love to learn, are highly curious about new frameworks and solutions to engineering problems

  • Fast-moving: you deploy daily, iterate quickly, and never wait for permission

Benefits & Compensation

  • Remote-first team - the fastest team you will have ever worked with

  • Home internet, co-working space & office setup support

  • Flexible PTO (27 days including public holidays)

  • Unlimited AI token usage

  • AI skills development & enablement

  • Learning & development budget for courses, certifications & language learning

  • Visa sponsorship and relocation support for a move to NYC (after 2 years’ tenure)
