Finance teams still chase payments with spreadsheets, reconcile AR in spreadsheets and use software that was built a decade ago. We think this is one of the largest, most ignored problems in B2B software. Trillions of dollars sit in outstanding invoices and the tools to unlock cashflow are stuck in the past. We are rebuilding Monk with AI, speed, and real craftsmanship.\nWe are already doing this for over $1B of accounts receivables. We are backed by leading investors and our founders bring significant experience to our company (more here).\nWe are early, the upside is enormous, and the hardest, but also the most rewarding work is ahead of us.\nThe role:\nOwn Monk's Financial Systems end-to-end: technical direction, architecture, delivery, quality, and lead a team of engineers.\nYou will solve the hardest technical problems in fintech that impact revenue and cash flow, build product and engineering roadmaps with customers and founders, and lead a team of engineers to ship fast.\nThis is one of Monk’s most important product surfaces.\nIn this role you will:\nBuild and operate systems that connect to Monk. ERPs, accounting platforms, banking data, payment providers, files, APIs, and other sources of truth.\n\nServe enterprise customers processing billions in revenue. Unblock strategic customers, build for technical excellence, accelerate go-lives, and ship daily into core product.\n\nLead design and execution of complex projects: own high-volume projects end-to-end including architecture, implementation, rollout, monitoring, telemetry, control planes in TypeScript, Temporal, and Postgres.\n\nLead a small pod of engineers. Set priorities, write clear technical plans, review code, raise the quality bar, and mentor people into stronger builders.\n\nBuild software factories. You will build autonomous agents and tooling to accelerate productivity, enabling you and your team to ship 10x faster.\n\nWork directly with customers, GTM, and founders. You will build, maintain, and upgrade financial systems that support enterprise customers\n\nWho you are:\n8+ years building and operating production backend systems. You've built them, broken them, and scaled them yourself\n\nExperience leading a team of engineers\n\nExperience building APIs, data processing pipelines, event-driven systems\n\nStrong experience in Postgres, AWS, data pipelines, observability\n\nComfortable with agentic workflows, AI tooling, and orchestration systems\n\nAI-native, daily use of coding agents as your primary development driver.\n\nAn owner. You don't file tickets. You fix them, and then make sure they can't happen again\n\nExcited to build in person in Flatiron, NYC\n\nBonus if you:\nHave experience with fintech or payments data systems\n\nHave built backend infrastructure for LLM or agent products\n\nWere a founding or early backend hire\n\nOur values (we hope that you will add your DNA/values and impact our culture as you build with us):\nOwnership and craft: We own our work end to end and obsess over getting the details right. We believe that our Customers deserve the best possible outcomes and we strive to produce work that would get a 12/10 reaction from either our Customers or members of our team. Ownership is also knowing when to go deep on a problem and when to move fast. And when the v1 is live - we own all follow-through until it is perfect\n\nSpeed and urgency: We ship daily. We act now. Not tomorrow and not the end of the week, but today - this hour. We love shipping fast to delight our Customers\n\nRadical clarity: We believe in getting to the truth. It is important that all of us reason from the same version of reality (the truth) so that we can get the best result. We strive to get the truth by any means necessary. This means being open to feedback, obsessing over improving from our mistakes and clear communication\n\nWhy solve this problem now:\nA broken market and a real shot at owning it. AR is huge, ignored, and ready to be rebuilt. We're early and the surface area is enormous\n\n$T+ market and max EV from a single AR wedge\n\nNo clear winner has emerged in this massive category. It can be us\n\nInsulated from labs. This workflow is complex, too many integrations are required and the last mile in AR is too bespoke for general purpose models\n\nHard problem worth solving. Revenue intelligence is challenging and inherently unsexy. Frankly, there are fewer strong companies in our space and we are building the most talent-dense team\n\nUndeniable $ROI that allows us to clearly illustrate value to Customers, and embeds us into integral workflows\n\nOur unfair advantage: We have ex-finance founders that have previously exited, scars and learnings from those experiences, an eng-first culture and late-mover advantage\n\nWhy build with us // what we offer:\nYou want to be a founder someday. We are sharing everything we’ve learned building our past companies (25% of the team are 2nd time founders). One of our primary goals is to help you become a founder and create a place where you do your life’s best work (see more here)\n\nReal ownership and an opportunity to 10x your learning curve. You will see your work go to production and deliver results for Customers, fast. Your own experience is the greatest teacher and at Monk we are maximizing the # of times you get to have valuable experiences\n\nBuild at the frontier of applied AI and solve hard problems. You are curious about AI and do not want to miss this moment building at the frontier\n\nExperienced founders that have exited before and a motivated team that is all-in\n\nCompetitive salary and meaningful equity\n\nMedical/dental/vision, flexible paid time off and dinner stipend\n\nBeautiful office in Flatiron, New York\n\nWe hire for intensity, craft, and attitude. We believe that most things can be learned.\nCategory defining companies are built with exceptional people. Our team is one of the products we're shipping = come help build it.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6060,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":8,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-18T05:00:47Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":55,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.729,"p_room":0.75,"age_days":24,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:0","win:late"],"computed_at":"2026-10-12T06:55:09Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/monk-engineering-lead-financial-systems","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/monk-engineering-lead-financial-systems.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-12T12:21:42Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":19250,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":678862},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=678862"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fmonk-engineering-lead-financial-systems"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fmonk-engineering-lead-financial-systems"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fmonk-engineering-lead-financial-systems"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/monk-engineering-lead-financial-systems\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fmonk-engineering-lead-financial-systems"}]}
