More than 675,000 businesses, including McLaren Racing, Qantas, SHEIN, and TikTok, use us, directly or through our platform partners, to run their financial operations or build and monetize financial products of their own.\nWe started in Melbourne in 2015 to build the infrastructure global commerce runs on. We're the regulated backbone behind global payments: not by accident, but by design. A decade plus, 85+ licenses, and a financial infrastructure spanning North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific.\nWe're co-headquartered in San Francisco and Singapore, with more than 2,300 people across 27 offices. We hire builders with founder-level energy, people who move fast with good judgment, dig in with real curiosity, and make calls from first principles rather than waiting to be told what to do. Read ouroperating principles to see it in full.\nHow you'll make impact\nYou’ll design and deploy intelligent systems that automate complex, multi-step financial workflows. You’ll turn agentic frameworks, orchestration layers, and pragmatic model selection into reliable production systems at scale.\nArchitect intelligent systems that automate complex, multi-step financial workflows\n\nApply prompting, retrieval-augmented generation, fine-tuning, or training models from scratch as appropriate to the problem\n\nDesign and optimize agent architectures for reasoning, tool use, and workflow automation\n\nBuild systems that improve with usage and create compounding AI flywheels\n\nPartner with backend and frontend engineers to integrate AI reasoning into secure, production systems\n\nYou’ll work from our San Francisco office three days a week.\nWhat we're looking for\nEssentials\n5+ years of experience in applied AI/ML engineering, including production deployments\n\nStrong Python skills and experience with ML frameworks such as PyTorch, JAX, or TensorFlow\n\nA track record of building and deploying AI agents, orchestration frameworks, or multi-step reasoning systems\n\nExperience designing monitoring, evaluation, and iteration practices for production AI systems\n\nAbility to balance innovation with reliability, scalability, and compliance\n\nPreferred\nExperience architecting and deploying intelligent systems that automate complex, multi-step financial workflows\n\nExperience using agentic frameworks, orchestration layers, and pragmatic model selection to build production systems\n\nExperience designing AI systems for reasoning, tool use, and workflow automation\n\nExperience building systems that improve with usage and create compounding AI flywheels\n\nExperience partnering with backend and frontend engineers to integrate AI reasoning into secure, production systems\n\nYou'll thrive here if\nYou're comfortable owning the roadmap yourself.\n\nYou're comfortable making decisions with incomplete information and moving quickly anyway.\n\nYou hold yourself to a high standard even when no one is watching. Quality and accountability aren't external expectations, they're internal ones.\n\nYou're comfortable with ambiguity. Give you a problem, not a prescription, and you'll run with it.\n\nYou simplify complexity rather than hiding behind it.\n\nLearn more about your team\nT:0's mission is to make finance run itself. We're building an AI-native accounting platform that closes the books, reconciles, and reports continuously, so founders can stop managing their finances and start using them to run the business. The hard part isn't adding AI to accounting. It's making AI you can trust with the books. We use AI to understand how a business works, then run the actual accounting on strict, checkable rules, and no black box deciding the numbers. That's why customers pick us over both the legacy tools they've outgrown and the AI wrappers they don't trust. And bookkeeping is just the start: we're building toward a full financial operating system for how companies account, plan, and operate. The team is small, elite, and builder-focused, led by operators with a track record of shipping AI products at scale. We sit inside Airwallex, which means startup speed with a scaled company's infrastructure, distribution, and capital behind us. You'll work directly from real customer pain, own outcomes end to end, and ship fast.\nApplicant Safety Policy: Fraud and Third-Party Recruiters\nTo protect you from recruitment scams, please be aware that Airwallex will not ask for bank details, sensitive ID numbers (i.e. passport), or any form of payment during the application or interview process.
