Description For Founding Engineer

Tabular is leading a revolutionary change in accounting, building an AI Copilot that's transforming how accounting firms operate. As the cost of intelligence trends towards zero, we're creating systems to handle accounting's unstructured data and language-based rules autonomously.

We're seeking an intense founding engineer to join our 5-person team at this groundbreaking moment. You'll be working at the frontier of AI/LLM technology while building a general ledger from scratch. This role offers unique opportunities to:

  • Shape core architecture: You'll build the foundations of our autonomous-accounting engine, choose the stack, and set engineering standards
  • Solve complex challenges: Work on cutting-edge AI applications in accounting automation
  • Drive customer impact: Directly engage with customers to understand pain points and build solutions
  • Build robust systems: Develop backend infrastructure handling thousands of daily transactions
  • Join a product-driven team: Work with founders who have strong tech and product backgrounds

We're backed by prestigious investors including Y Combinator and LocalGlobe, having raised $4.7M in seed funding. We're already live with several forward-thinking German accounting firms, serving diverse clients from Sequoia-backed startups to family restaurants.

The role offers competitive cash compensation (€80K - €120K) and above-market equity (0.50% - 1.00%). We're based in Berlin Hackescher Markt, with an in-person culture that fosters intense focus and high agency. This is a unique opportunity to join at the ground floor of what we believe is a once-in-a-lifetime technological shift in accounting.
