Today’s ERPs don’t store a company’s financial data. They store a diluted copy of it. Every contract, lease, and invoice gets flattened into a journal entry, and the context that made it meaningful is thrown away. That’s why accounting teams spend every month re-checking numbers, stitching together spreadsheets, and waiting on engineering, and why AI struggles to do real accounting work. Accounting doesn’t have a reporting problem. It has a data problem.\nEnter Numeric: the data platform finance teams run on. We started with the month-end close, where the data problem hurts most, and hundreds of finance teams now run their close on Numeric. That work led us to rebuild the system of record itself. In September 2026 we launched the Financial Data Platform (FDP), a platform built for the agent era. Instead of a journal entry, the real business object enters the system and the accounting is derived from it. Every number is traceable to its source, reporting works on any dimension, and accountants and AI agents finally have enough context to work together. While others bolted AI features onto the old data model, we built a new one.\nWe have a growing base of customers who love our product, including Anthropic, Plaid, Brex, Betterment, Wealthfront, and Asana. We’ve raised $89M from top-tier investors including IVP, Menlo Ventures, Founders Fund, and 8VC, along with founders and executives from Ramp, Segment, and other category-defining companies. We’re hybrid but in-office first, with teams in New York, San Francisco, and London, and we just shipped the product that will define our next decade. There’s never been a better time to join.\nThe Role\nOur product teams are responsible for inventing the future of finance and accounting. We work at the whiteboard, we bring fresh eyes to a complex domain, we break down problems to their fundamentals, and we relentlessly seek the right answer to a problem.\nWe have teams in both SF and NYC that are hiring product engineers. There is no single exact profile of skill and background that can succeed, but we rather seek to understand your strengths and assemble teams that work excellently together.\nYou might be a fit if…\nYou care about finding the right abstraction\n\nYou find learning a new, complex domain to be an exciting challenge\n\nYou combine a commitment to high quality work with a desire to win and tackle ambitious goals\n\nWhat you need\n5+ years of experience building software\n\nBachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Math, or Physics\n\nHigh motivation and agency\n\nBonus points for…\nExperience with building software in complex domains\n\nFintech or accounting-adjacent experience\n\nExperience founding a business or building products from scratch\n\nHow we work\nThis role is hybrid in New York City, in-office first.\nAs an engineer at Numeric you will learn the domain, meet your users, and exercise substantial creativity and agency over product direction. You'll work with a high-pace, high-integrity team that loves collaboration.\nWe believe the best company is the one with the best ICs and we’ve built a culture to maximize great work. We believe great product & engineering come from a desire to win, a deep care for the craft, and a pragmatism in shipping for overall impact. As engineers we ground our work in our understanding of the users, the domain, and the goals for our organization.\nWe strongly believe we will only be successful if everyone on the team is anchored in our following set of core principles:\nOwn the Outcome: We own our results. We typically hire builders and give them large mandates with high-trust. Engineers are responsible not just for code, but for ensuring the product is solving the end problems of the users.\n\nBrick by Brick: To win, our team needs to show up and execute in each domain every day.\n\nLove the Game: We focus on the craft and a deep sense of giving a f*ck. We’re building a company full of people who are equally engaged and motivated.\n\nEarn the right: Our ability to rethink how things are done depends on the trust and reputation we build by shipping quality products and improving the lives of our users.\n\nSALY: We refuse to accept “Same As Last Year.” We bring fresh eyes to a stagnated and underserved domain. We’re driven by a first-principles approach to building better solutions.\n\nRead some of our thoughts on engineering and company-building here.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4487,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["AI Agents","Financial AI","Accounting & Tax Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-07-17T15:25:54Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-09-08T18:12:13Z"},{"event":"reopen","at":"2026-09-11T18:12:34Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":21,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.582,"p_room":0.36,"age_days":90,"expected_fill_days":53,"reasons":["conf:1","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-16T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":260000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/numeric-software-engineer-product","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/numeric-software-engineer-product.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T04:32:45Z","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":5929,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-18T00:00:00Z"}},"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":6624},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=6624"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fnumeric-software-engineer-product"},{"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%2Fnumeric-software-engineer-product"},{"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%2Fnumeric-software-engineer-product"},{"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/numeric-software-engineer-product\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fnumeric-software-engineer-product"}]}
