About the job


Engineering Manager – Seed-Stage AI Startup (NYC, On-Site)


A seed-stage AI startup in Manhattan (recent $4M raise, real revenue, rapid growth) on a mission to reinvent accounting with AI agents are looking for an Engineering Manager to join their team.


What will I be doing:


  • Building, mentoring, and leading a small, high-impact engineering team.
  • Designing systems that can scale globally and handle massive throughput.
  • Owning delivery across the full stack — backend, frontend, and everything in between.
  • Bringing AI into production with LLMs, LangChain, and agent-based workflows.
  • Partnering directly with the founders on technical direction and product roadmap.
  • Shaping the engineering culture and setting the bar for excellence from day one.



What are we looking for:


  • 6+ years of experience shipping products, including time spent leading or managing teams.
  • You know how to design and scale modern systems (Python, Node.js, React, Postgres, AWS).
  • You’ve hired, coached, and grown engineers into leaders.
  • You obsess over solving customer problems, not just writing elegant code.
  • Excited to experiment with and apply the latest in LLMs and agent tech.
  • You thrive in ambiguity, move fast, and take full responsibility for outcomes.


What’s in it for me:


  • Competitive salary + meaningful early equity.
  • Direct access to founders, investors, and product decisions.
  • The chance to define an engineering org from the ground up.
  • Real ownership, autonomy, and impact.
  • A career-defining opportunity to lead, innovate, and help reinvent an industry.
