Backed by Costanoa Ventures.
About the role
Get an agent into daily use inside a client’s finance team within your first two quarters. One workflow, doing work a person did by hand the week before. Make the data flow a design rather than a diagram. For each workflow, know where the truth lives, what each system owns, what goes stale and how fast, and where today's handoffs drop information on the floor. Engineering builds the connections; you decide what has to move, when, and why. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- You understand the finance function from the inside: AR and AP, billing, collections, credit control, payment application, reconciliation and the close. You know why a controller cares about an aging bucket and what makes a month end go badly
- You can read a process and see the data underneath it. Given two systems and a handoff between them, you can work out what each one owns, where the truth lives, what goes stale, and what breaks when a person is the integration
- Judgment about where AI belongs and where it does not. You can look at a finance workflow and say which parts an agent should own, which parts need a person, and which parts should stay deterministic because control matters more than cleverness
- You are good in a room with a customer. You can run a working session with people who have been burned by software before, and leave with them on your side
- You can hold your own with engineers without doing their job. You ask good questions about what a system can and cannot give you, and you know when "that's hard" means hard and when it means tedious
- Working Spanish is a plus. Our partner finance teams work in Spanish, and the signal you need is often in what they say to each other rather than in what gets translated for you. Not a gate if everything else is there

Tensec moves money across borders for the small and mid-sized businesses that trade globally FX, payments, and transaction banking built for a São Paulo exporter or a Monterrey importer, not for a Fortune 500 treasury desk. Cross-border B2B is a $50 trillion market still running on infrastructure designed for large corporates. We're building the version everyone else can use.
We're live in Mexico and Brazil, opening the US this year, and onboarding enterprise clients moving hundreds of millions a month. Founded in 2023 by a team that has built and exited startups and run global teams at PayPal, Credit Karma, Facebook, Goldman Sachs, Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. Backed by Quiet Capital, Costanoa Ventures, Renegade Partners, Coinbase Ventures, Clocktower, and WillowTree, plus angels including Jason Pate (Chief Strategy Officer, Plaid) and Bora Chung (ex-Chief Experience Officer, Bill.com ; Board Member, Remitly).
We already move the money. The harder problem sits on either side of the payment: the finance work that decides what to bill, what to chase and what to reconcile. For most of the businesses we serve that work is manual, spread across systems that do not talk to...
