Founding Engineer - Reporting & Statements

Join us as a founding engineer on our Reporting & Statements team. You'll design the systems that power every financial report and statement we deliver from monthly reports to daily statements to custom client requests. We're building automated frameworks that guarantee accuracy and consistency for every number we send to clients.

Technical Skills:

• Evolve our architecture from decentralized reporting scripts to a centralized, framework-based delivery system
• Build automated validation and reconciliation that lets us scale without adding manual oversight

Complexity and Impact of Work:

• Design data models that become a trusted, shared source of truth for downstream product teams and external APIs
• Navigate complexity across multiple product data streams, applying consistent logic to all financial statements

Organizational Knowledge:

• Work with Product and Foundations teams to standardize how we capture and represent financial data
• Create self-service frameworks so other teams can add new report types through configuration instead of code

Communication and Influence:

• Listen to product stakeholders to stay ahead of scaling needs for client-facing data
• Help mature our engineering culture by advocating for and modeling 'Data as a Product' principles and high-quality engineering standards

You may be a fit for this role if you:

• 7+ years building data systems: You have experience creating internal tools, frameworks, or engines that handle 10x scale
• Financial domain experience: You've worked in fintech, banking, or other environments where numbers matter. You understand what a 'Statement of Record' means and the precision it demands.
• Systems thinking: You consider the next 100 products, not just the current one. You value extensible systems over one-off pipelines.
• Solid technical foundation: You're proficient with Python (Pandas/Polars/Arrow) and SQL, with experience in BigQuery or similar cloud warehouses and modern orchestration tools like Airflow or Dagster.

Although not a requirement, bonus points if:

• You've been a data consumer: Prior experience as a financial or business analyst gives you the perspective to design truly usable data models.
• You care about performance: You enjoy making data move faster and cheaper, whether through ADBC, multiprocessing, vectorized operations, or other optimizations.
