We're hiring a senior backend engineer to help build and strengthen the platform behind our AI agent — the systems that run agent work reliably and connect it to customers' accounting tools. This is a backend- and systems-leaning role for someone who cares about building dependable infrastructure for an AI-native product, and who's energized by reliability and correctness, not just shipping screens.

## What they're looking for

- Have built and run backend services in production and care about keeping them reliable
- Are strong in backend TypeScript/Node
- Have worked with asynchronous, data-intensive, or distributed systems
- Are comfortable with cloud infrastructure (AWS) and relational databases ( PostgreSQL )
- Prefer simple, focused solutions over complexity, and communicate clearly
