About the role

  • Staff Engineer handling foundational accounting systems for AngelList, a venture capital nexus. Collaborate with engineering leadership to drive technical excellence and AI integration.

Responsibilities

  • Transform our home-grown accounting system into a foundational primitive, defining the interfaces that other teams consume.
  • Define scalable accounting infrastructure, owning architectural decisions end to end and ensuring execution follow-through across the company.
  • Apply AI to address the long-tail of data integrity challenges; create reusable patterns for reconciling increasingly complex money movement.
  • Partner with engineering leadership to shape roadmaps, surface technical risk early, and ensure we are building the right things the right way.

Requirements

  • Have operated at staff level or equivalent. You are highly autonomous, have had impact beyond your immediate team, and have a track record of architectural decisions that held up as systems scaled.
  • Have demonstrated a multiplier effect on engineering teams. You’ve been the person who defined the patterns a team reached for—and the team was measurably better for it.
  • Are comfortable in high-stakes, domain-rich systems. You may not know fund accounting today, but you’ve built systems where correctness is non-negotiable—financial, healthcare, infrastructure, or similar. You build deep domain expertise quickly by working closely with subject-matter experts.
  • Have a deep love of startups, having worked at one (or potentially started one). The domain is part of the job.
  • Have strong hands-on coding ability. You write production code regularly, review others’ work rigorously, and have no interest in becoming a purely advisory engineer.
  • Are curious about AI as applied infrastructure—not hype, but genuine interest in where it can make financial workflows more accurate, more automated, and more trustworthy.

Benefits

  • We support your life both in and outside of work.
