  • Interdisciplinary : Willing and interested to jump across multiple disciplines

  • Eagle-eyed : Spots and recruits engineering talent
  • Collaborative : Dedicated to mentoring others and open to being mentored in return
  • Passionate : Genuinely excited about our tech and its impact on accounting, finance, and the economy
  • Curious : Loves to play with new ideas / tech
  • Office lover : Prefers shouting across a room over a slack message, seeking full-time in-office in NYC
  • All-in : This is not a 9-5, we have a massive opportunity ahead of us and are looking to further accelerate our velocity. We are optimizing for the best folks and happy to compensate generously
