About the role

About the Role

We're looking for a Founding Engineer to build and scale the LedgerUp platform. As an early team member, you'll have a pivotal role in architecting the systems that automate B2B billing, accounts receivable, and revenue recognition for fast-growing companies.

You'll work closely with the founding team to design, develop, and deploy our AI agent (Ari) and the critical financial automation infrastructure that integrates with Stripe, Salesforce, HubSpot, and other enterprise systems. This role requires expertise in backend development, systems integration, and building AI-powered automation—ideal for an engineer who thrives in high-impact environments where accuracy and reliability are non-negotiable.

Responsibilities

  • Build and optimize AI agent capabilities that can reason about financial operations and take autonomous actions
  • Architect and develop scalable backend services for AI-driven billing and accounts receivable automation
  • Design and implement APIs that integrate with financial platforms (Stripe, Salesforce, QuickBooks), CRMs, and document signing systems
  • Build Change Data Capture (CDC) systems to maintain real-time synchronization across multiple data sources
  • Develop sophisticated revenue recognition logic that handles ASC 606 compliance, usage-based billing, and complex contract terms
  • Create event-driven architectures for automated invoice generation, delivery, and collections workflows
  • Own the full development lifecycle—from designing scalable solutions to deploying and monitoring them in production
  • Ensure data accuracy and system reliability for mission-critical financial operations

About LedgerUp

LedgerUp is revolutionizing how B2B companies handle their most critical financial operations. We're building AI-powered automation for billing, accounts receivable, and revenue recognition – the complex, manual processes that finance teams spend countless hours on every month.

Our platform goes beyond traditional software. Ari, our AI agent, integrates seamlessly with your existing tools (Stripe, Salesforce, HubSpot, DocuSign) and works through Slack as a true teammate – automating quote-to-cash workflows, managing collections, and ensuring accurate revenue recognition without the usual hassle.

We're based in San Francisco and solving real problems for fast-growing B2B companies that are tired of spreadsheet hell and manual processes.
