# Founding AI Finance Engineer – Customer Zero

At Helu, finance doesn't build Excel sheets. Every manual process becomes an agent, and every agent ships live in Helu. We're looking for the person who makes that happen: half finance lead, half product engineer, and completely obsessed with automating finance with AI. You run Helu's own finance, and you automate all of it inside our own product. About Helu Helu is an FP&A and xP&A platform built natively on DATEV data. Companies and their advisors use Helu to plan, report and steer their business without spreadsheet chaos. We're backed by CommerzVentures, Atlantic Labs and Iris Capital. Our next chapter puts AI agents at the core of the product, and this role is where that starts. The mission: Customer Zero Helu's own finance team is Helu's first customer. Everything we do manually in finance today gets automated, and it gets automated in Helu, not next to it. The loop you'll run, again and again: Pick a manual finance process, such as preparatory bookkeeping, month-end close or ARR reporting. Prototype an agent with Claude in days, not quarters. Run it on our own books until it's reliable. Ship it live in Helu, so our customers get it too. What works for us becomes product.
