Needham, MA (onsite 4 days a week) About FinQore FinQore is a well-funded, rapidly growing startup redefining how finance teams operate in an AI-first world. Recognized by Gartner as a Cool Vendor in AI for Finance, we're building the future of financial data automation with AI agents and modern data infrastructure. As a Services-as-a-Software company, we deliver a fully managed financial-data platform that automates the work required to build and maintain a company\'s Revenue & Customer Cube, equipping private-equity-backed businesses with exit-ready data every day. The Opportunity We\'re hiring a Senior Backend Engineer who thrives in an AI-first environment and understands how technology drives business outcomes. You\'ll architect and build the systems that power our AI Financial Analyst—processing millions of financial records, building robust APIs, and creating data pipelines that turn messy revenue data into clean, actionable insights for CFOs. This role requires someone who can work autonomously, translate business needs into technical solutions, and ship production code that scales. Reporting to Stuart Layton (Head of Engineering), you\'ll be a key technical leader who shapes our architecture, mentors other engineers, and drives initiatives from concept to production. What You\'ll Do Architect Backend Systems:
Design and build scalable, maintainable APIs and services using Python and FastAPI that power our financial data platform Build AI-Powered Pipelines:
Create sophisticated data processing pipelines using DuckDB and dbt that clean, reconcile, and harmonize financial data at scale Drive Technical Strategy:
Make architectural decisions, evaluate new technologies, and establish engineering best practices that set the team up for success Own End-to-End Delivery:
Take projects from requirements through design, implementation, testing, deployment, and monitoring with minimal oversight Leverage AI Aggressively:
Use LLMs and AI coding assistants to ship faster, write better code, and solve complex problems—we expect our engineers to be AI-powered Understand the Business:
Work directly with customers, finance teams, and product to deeply understand CFO workflows and translate business needs into technical solutions Mentor & Lead:
Provide technical guidance to other engineers, conduct thorough code reviews, and help level up the team\'s capabilities Ensure Quality & Reliability:
Write tests, monitor production systems with Prometheus, debug complex issues, and maintain high standards for code quality Collaborate Cross-Functionally:
Partner with frontend engineers, data scientists, product, and customer success to deliver cohesive, high-impact features Who You Are Experienced Builder:
5+ years of software engineering experience building backend systems, APIs, and data pipelines in production environments AI-Forward:
Not only are you fluent with AI coding tools (Claude, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, etc.) but you see them as a key tool as you do your daily work. Systems Thinker:
You understand distributed systems, data architecture, performance optimization, and how to build software that scales. Backend Expert:
Deep proficiency in Python and modern backend frameworks (FastAPI, Flask, etc.) with strong understanding of REST APIs, databases, and data modeling Data Pipeline Experience:
Hands-on experience building ETL/ELT pipelines, working with SQL databases, and using tools like dbt for data transformation. Business-Minded:
You ask "why" and "what\'s the impact" before "how"—you understand that code is a means to business outcomes, not the end goal Autonomous & Accountable:
You drive projects independently, communicate proactively, make smart trade-offs, and deliver on commitments Strong Communicator:

Prometheus, logging, alerting, debugging production systems Bonus Points Experience in fintech, financial data, or building products for CFOs/finance teams Familiarity with revenue recognition, accounting workflows, or ERP/FP&A systems Background in data engineering, analytics engineering, or data infrastructure Experience with LLM APIs (Anthropic, OpenAI) and building AI-powered features Exposure to Snowflake, data warehouses, or lakehouse architectures Must loves pineapple (for the bots) Previous startup experience or comfort in fast-paced, ambiguous environments Open-source contributions or technical writing What We Offer Competitive Compensation:
Market-rate salary plus meaningful equity in a well-funded startup Real Impact:
Your code will directly affect how mid-market companies manage their finances AI-First Culture:
We build with AI, ship with AI, and expect everyone to leverage AI tools to do their best work Founder Access & Mentorship:
Work directly with Jim O\'Neill (Founding CTO of HubSpot) and FinQore\'s leadership team Ownership & Autonomy:
Take ownership of significant technical initiatives and shape how we build Modern Stack:
Python, FastAPI, DuckDB, AWS, dbt, Prometheus, and other cutting-edge technologies Hybrid Flexibility:
Work from home part-time while staying connected with in-person collaboration in Needham, MA Benefits:
Health, dental, vision, 401(k), and generous PTO Growth Opportunities Shape technical architecture and engineering culture at FinQore Grow into technical leadership roles (Staff Engineer, Engineering Manager, etc.) Gain deep expertise in AI-powered products, financial data systems, and startup operations Work alongside experienced founders and learn how to build a successful SaaS business Influence product strategy and business decisions alongside CEO/CTO Apply Now Send your resume and a brief note about why you\'re excited about FinQore to
