About the role

Artifact AI is building an agentic accounting platform with a senior IC track. The role involves owning substantial surface areas (database schemas, frontend components, and backend/AI/infra as needed), setting ownership direction, shipping high-impact work with a bias toward practical, reliable solutions, and leveraging AI to maximize impact. Domain experience in fintech/accounting is preferred, with potential path to Principal; fast-paced, high-expectation environment.

Responsibilities

  • You'll own real surface area. From the database schemas, to a front-end component someone clicks on a Tuesday. Backend is home (Python, async, the messy distributed parts, ..etc), but you'll move into the AI layer or the front-end or the infra when the problem is there. Wherever the work actually is.
  • You set direction on what you own. Build the code that matters. Push back when you think we're wrong. You raise the bar of people around you and you have done it before.
  • Pace matters here. Speed and quality pull against each other. The skill is knowing what to spend the day on and what to ship rough and fix Friday. You don't reach for the cleverest tool, the trendiest pattern, or the abstraction that makes you look senior. You pick the boring thing that works, because you've got nothing to prove.
  • You use AI to the max, or anything else that makes you 10x. And you know when to put the tools down and get your hands dirty so the shipping bar holds.
  • Low ego, high standards. You are kind to the humans on the team and brutal on the work. You do not confuse the two.
  • You know the domain. You have a domain background in fintech, accounting, audit, ERP, or financial close, you have either built in this space or worked closely with it.

Qualifications

  • Bonus: You have deep understanding of accounting.
  • Bonus: You have been a founder or founding engineer of a venture-backed company.
  • Bonus: You have built developer-facing products, APIs, or SDKs.
  • Bonus: You have shipped agent systems with structured tool-use at scale.
  • Bonus: You have meaningful Go, Rust, or TypeScript backend experience to complement your Python.
  • Bonus: You have hired, ramped, or mentored other engineers not as a manager, but as the senior IC people gravitated toward.
