About Numeric

Numeric is building the modern accounting & finance platform. Companies today depend on Numeric’s workflow and data platform to collaborate, monitor and analyze data, and share insights about their financials.

We believe an organization with up-to-date, accurate, rich financial data is empowered to move faster and smarter. Unfortunately, the tools and systems have not been keeping up. The complexity of work and granularity of data has ballooned, and old, slow software and simplistic tools only facilitate the manual work; they do little to solve the fundamental challenges of accounting and finance. As a product-focused company, we know that a great product and engineering team can build the tools to give our users superpowers. We work to free people from the manual and the tedious, and to bring delight to their work.

Numeric is backed by Founders Fund, Long Journey Ventures, and others as well as founders from Ramp, Segment, and more.

About the role

Every engineer at Numeric is a product engineer. We believe the quality of a company’s product is a direct reflection of its inclusion (or not) of engineers in every step of the product process. Ownership here means not only building, testing, and shipping your work, but also contributing to planning, scoping, and discovery. The role encompasses the entire loop of product iteration–observing and learning from users, designing solutions, building, and repeating until we’ve exceeded users’ expectations.

Passionate builders improve through iteration, and learn by making mistakes. Our ideal candidate takes great pride in building and is excited by the ability to move fast. We place a great deal of emphasis on speed and ownership, and don’t let anything get in your way.

Projects we’re working on

Here are a few projects you could get started with:

• Building the transaction monitoring engine to spot anomalies and help our users pre-empt costly errors

• Designing scheduling and automation of revenue and expenses

• Improving our one-of-a-kind flexible search & reporting platform for financial data

• Extending our real-time syncing integrations

• Launching new workflow automations on our generalized task system

How we work

The engineering team here is a high-ownership, fast-paced, customer-focused group. We ship early & often. Deploys go out every day, and engineers ship & verify their own work. We keep things simple and do not incur operational cost or complexity until it’s necessary. We stay grounded in our users and humble about what we don’t know. We know that discovering the best solution is the result of an iterative, user-centric process. Finally, we move fast. With less than 2 years’ time we’re competing with existing players that have all been around for 10+ years.

About you

• You thrive in a fast-paced and iterative environment. You are driven more by customer impact than technology.

• When building software, you can find the 80/20 solution to a problem.

• You’re excited to build a new company, and to collaborate across all functions of the organization.

• You’re allergic to premature optimization in all its forms; you focus on the larger goals at hand.

• The prospect of taking on incumbents as a small, high-performing team is an exciting challenge to you.

• You thrive when given more ownership and responsibility.

Requirements

• Computer science or other technical degree

• 4+ years of experience in software engineering
