## Job description

## About Us

Rho is the modern banking platform built for the AI era. Startups and growth-stage companies can open accounts in minutes, issue cards, manage expenses, pay bills, and close the books – all in one connected platform backed by real human support.

## About the role

We're hiring a Growth Engineer to make Rho the #1 answer for startup and business banking, both in classic search rankings and in the answers AI engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews give. You'll then extend that position into Rho's newer product lines: incorporation, payroll, and invoicing. For your first six months this is 100% of your focus; after that, you'll take the systems and instincts you built here to the next growth problem. This is a hands-on building role. You ship production code and page changes yourself, you don't spec them and hand them off. You'll inherit a working agentic SEO/AEO system and make it faster, more reliable, and more autonomous, from the agents that sweep and fix pages around the clock to the runbook that lets it all run without you. You're accountable for whether Rho wins, not for pages published or dashboards built. AI citation share, rankings on priority keywords, organic signups, and funded accounts from organic are how your work gets judged.

## Key responsibilities

- Live in AEO/SEO dashboards: own AI visibility, citations, and sentiment across every tracked topic, and turn weekly deltas into shipped fixes.
- Run the weekly operating rhythm: competitor intel refresh, a full sweep of AI-citation position by keyword with fixes shipped to existing pages, and an easy-read SEO/AEO scorecard reported every Friday.
- Ship page changes directly to [rho.co](http://rho.co) through the CMS and codebase: on-page optimization, structured data, internal linking, and new pages, with protected high-value pages routed through review.
- Own and extend the multi-agent content pipeline (research, drafting, specialist review, compliance gate, marketing sign-off) for new articles and product-page refreshes.
- Maintain the claims and competitor source-of-truth layer every piece of content is checked against, so nothing ships with an unverified product fact or competitor claim.
- Monitor technical SEO and AEO health: crawlability and indexing, AI crawler access, site performance, and regressions, caught by alerts rather than by a drop in traffic.
- Build a measurement feed that ties search and AI visibility to signups, funded accounts, and CAC by product line.
- Lead a flood-the-zone push on incorporation: the clusters, pages, and comparisons that win that category.
- Leave every system with monitoring, alerting, and a runbook so it can run without you.

## Requirements

- Strong generalist engineering background: comfortable owning a system from data pipeline through production changes through alerting, not just one layer of the stack.
- Deep, current knowledge of technical SEO, plus a working point of view on how AI answer engines select and cite sources.
- Hands on with the SEO toolchain (Ahrefs, Google Search Console, rank-tracking APIs) and AI visibility platforms like Profound; you pull numbers from the scoreboards, you don't estimate them.
- Has built LLM or agentic content pipelines that ship to production with human and compliance review gates, not just a demo.
- Comfortable working inside a regulated business: exact disclosures, verified claims, and compliance review as part of the shipping process.
- Rigorous about monitoring and alerting: you'd rather find out a page slipped from a dashboard than from a quarterly review.
- Comfortable in a fast moving, ambiguous environment, and ready to take what you built here to the next growth problem after your first six months.

Our people are our most valuable asset. The base salary for this role is $140,000-$220,000. In addition to base pay, Rho offers equity, healthcare benefits and paid time off.

Diversity is a core value at Rho. We’re passionate about building and sustaining an inclusive and equitable environment for all those involved with our mission, including employees, contractors, candidates, customers and vendors. We believe every member of the Rho community enriches our ability to provide a broad range of ways to understand and engage with the market, identify problems, and drive solutions that align with our mission. We welcome all qualified applications and support each of our Rho’ers with ongoing professional growth opportunities.

## About Rho

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Rho is a modern financial platform that combines business banking, corporate cards, treasury, bill pay, expense management, and accounting automation into a single connected workflow for startups and scaling companies.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series C, $365M total funding per [fastaijobs.com](https://www.fastaijobs.com/companies/rho))
- **Headquarters**: New York, United States
- **Founded**: 2018
- **Founders**: Not publicly named on the website or in widely available biographical detail (the platform was built by an internal team; the "About Us" page references the founding team as having built the platform they "wish we had when we first launched the company" [rho.co/about](https://www.rho.co/about))

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Financial Services / Fintech – specifically Business Banking, Spend Management, and Corporate Cards.
- **Target customers**: B2B – founders (from two-person startups to public companies), finance teams (controllers, CFOs), and business owners at all stages of growth.
- **Mission/purpose**: Built to eliminate financial busywork, enabling companies to focus on building a world-changing business. As stated on their "About Us" page: "We built the Rho platform for them… to focus less on busywork and more on activities that actually drive the business forward." [rho.co/about](https://www.rho.co/about)

## Products & Services
- **Business Checking & Savings Accounts**: FDIC-insured accounts for managing day-to-day cash flow.
- **Rho Cards**: Corporate credit cards with strict spend limits, category restrictions, and expense rules to control spending.
- **Bill Pay**: AI-powered invoice scanning, automated approval routing, and direct payments to vendors.
- **Expense Management**: Automated reimbursements and real-time transaction organization to keep compliance in check.
- **Treasury Accounts**: Earn competitive market yields on company cash that would otherwise sit idle.
- **Accounting Integrations**: Syncing across banking, cards, and treasury so books stay clean and audit-ready.
- **Rho Mobile App**: A mobile interface for on-the-go management.

All of these are offered as a connected SaaS platform. [rho.co](https://www.rho.co/)

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not publicly disclosed.
- **Key Metric – Total Funding**: **$365M** per [fastaijobs.com](https://www.fastaijobs.com/companies/rho) (specific breakdown from [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/rhobusiness/jobs) per Crunchbase-equivalent data: $197M total across Seed ($4.9M + $2.3M), Series A ($15M), Series B ($75M), and Debt Financing ($100M) — however, the higher "Series C" figure of $365M in total funding suggests a later round occurred or different aggregator methodology).
- **Net Discrepancy Note**: Different sources report total funding inconsistently: Crunchbase data via LinkedIn shows $197M across 4 early rounds, while a newer aggregator (fastaijobs) cites $365M. This is labeled as **conflicting reports**.
- **Annual Revenue**: **$25M** as estimated by [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/rhobusiness/jobs) (note: may be a third-party estimate, not company-verified).
- **Notable Investors**: List includes Grid Dynamics, Capital One, American Express, Goldman Sachs, Microsoft (as employer talent sources, suggesting staff migration from these firms) [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/rhobusiness/jobs). Debt financing (April 2021) had a single undisclosed investor; Series B (Dec 2021) had 5 investors.
- **Growth Signals**:
  - Headcount of **236 employees** as of mid-2026, with **+30.2% YoY growth** [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/rhobusiness/jobs).
  - **32 open roles** as of mid-2026 [rho.co/careers](https://www.rho.co/careers), spanning NYC, San Francisco, Austin, Boston, Los Angeles, Belgrade (Serbia), Poland (remote), and US-wide remote.
  - Active hiring in engineering (Senior/Full Stack Software Engineers), Go-to-Market (Account Executives, Advisors, Startups Banking), Product (VP of Product, Product Managers, Design), and Marketing (Brand, Events, Consumer).

## Competitive Advantages
- **All-in-one platform**: Unlike piecemeal setups, Rho connects banking, cards, treasury, bill pay, and expense management in one workflow — reducing the need for 3–5 separate vendors.
- **Fast implementation**: "Get up and running quickly with hands-on onboarding and a dedicated team… response times under a minute" [rho.co](https://www.rho.co/).
- **Enterprise-grade without bloat**: "No monthly fees" and strict spend controls, while still offering features like AI invoice scanning and automated approvals.
- **Global presence**: Operating across 7 countries (US, Serbia, Poland, Philippines, UK, Switzerland, Canada) [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/rhobusiness/jobs) enables multi-currency/regional support for scaling clients.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scaling with customers**: The platform is explicitly designed to support companies "from inception stage to IPO and beyond… never outgrow" the platform [rho.co/about](https://www.rho.co/about).
- **Hiring expansion**: Aggressively hiring across go-to-market, engineering, product, and marketing (50% monthly increase in job postings, 2000% quarterly increase) [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/rhobusiness/jobs), signaling a major growth push.
- **Automation depth**: Focus on AI-driven features (invoice scanning, expense automation) to reduce manual finance work.
- **Treasury/Runway focus**: Emphasis on putting cash to work (treasury yields) suggests a strategic bet on serving cash-rich startups and SMBs looking to maximize runway.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture highlight**: Described as a place for "obsessive people" who want to "hone your craft, ship faster than you thought possible, and do the most ambitious work of your career" [rho.co/careers](https://www.rho.co/careers). The "About Us" page repeatedly emphasizes "creating delightful experiences" for customers and earning the right to serve them.
- **Remote/Hybrid/Office Policy**: Mixed model. Roles exist in NYC (HQ), San Francisco, Austin, Boston, Los Angeles, Belgrade, and Poland (remote). Some roles are explicitly "US - Remote" or "Poland - Remote" while others specify a city (e.g., "NYC", "San Francisco"). The company has 4 offices globally (likely NYC, SF, Belgrade, and one other) [rho.co/careers](https://www.rho.co/careers).
- **Notable perks/culture signals**:
  - 32 open roles spanning multiple functions — strong signal of growth.
  - Technical staff makes up 22% of headcount; Sales 10%; Finance 9%, suggesting an engineering-led but GTM-heavy current hiring phase.
  - Talent sources include American Express (32 hires), Capital One (7), Microsoft (7), Goldman Sachs (5) — implying a strong Fintech/Finance DNA.
  - Alumni go to Rippling, Amazon, Deloitte — suggesting a pedigree similar to high-growth Fintech.
- **Engineering culture**: With 73 technical staff (22% of total), and open roles for Senior Software Engineers (Belgrade + Poland remote), Full Stack Engineers (Poland remote), and multiple Product Designers, engineering appears to be a core focus area for growth.
