Most treasury tools stop at visibility: a dashboard someone still has to read, interpret and act on.\nNilus goes further. We're building an agentic workforce for treasury - AI agents that reconcile cash, forecast liquidity and automate finance ops across every bank and ERP, in one connected system for Treasury, AR and AP.\nWe're a Series A company backed by Bessemer Venture Partners, Felicis, Perpetual Growth and Better Tomorrow Ventures, led by a team of ex-fintech pros transforming the finance function.\nThe role\nYou will join Nilus as Head of Engineering and a member of the Nilus leadership forum.
