## 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. Rho is building a modern finance platform that helps businesses manage banking, cards, expenses, bill pay, and accounting workflows in one connected platform. We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help build and scale new financial products from ambiguous opportunity to production-grade systems. This role is for a product-minded backend engineer with strong technical judgment, deep customer curiosity, and the ability to drive complex initiatives across teams, stakeholders, and external partners.

This is a high-ownership role for an engineer who wants to build more than features. You'll help shape new product areas, bring complex financial workflows to life, work directly with cross-functional partners, and grow into broader technical leadership as Rho scales. You'll work on critical financial workflows and platform capabilities that sit close to how businesses manage money. The work is technically challenging, customer-facing, and often involves regulated systems, operational complexity, and third-party integrations.

## What you'll do

- Own high-impact projects end-to-end, including our accounting integrations (NetSuite, QuickBooks, Sage Intacct, Xero, Puzzle) that keep customers' books accurate and up to date, from problem definition and technical design through launch, iteration, and operational ownership.
- Build reliable, scalable backend services that power core accounting and financial workflows, and help us expand into new adjacent product areas as the platform grows.
- Turn ambiguous product and business problems into simple, durable technical solutions.
- Develop a deep understanding of our customers' accounting and financial operations pain points, and use that context to make pragmatic product and engineering decisions.
- Partner closely with Product, Design, Operations, Compliance, and external partners, including accounting software providers and financial data platforms like Plaid and Finicity, to move complex initiatives forward.
- Make thoughtful technical tradeoffs, with a particular focus on shipping quickly without compromising the reliability of money movement.
- Raise the engineering bar through clear communication, strong system design, code quality, and mentorship.

## What we're looking for

- Senior-level experience building production backend systems, APIs, services, or distributed systems.
- Strong product judgment, customer curiosity, and comfort working through ambiguity.
- Experience owning projects end-to-end is a plus, but we also value engineers who've built deep expertise in complex systems without owning every stage of the lifecycle.
- Ability to manage multiple stakeholders and work cross-functionally with non-technical teams.
- Experience operating in fast-paced, high-growth environments where priorities evolve quickly.
- A bias toward shipping, learning from users, and continuously improving what you build.
- Experience with fintech, accounting systems, payroll, payments, banking, compliance-heavy products, or complex integrations is a plus.

Tech we use Python, Go, GraphQL, PostgreSQL, Docker, Kubernetes, and GCP. Experience with this exact stack is helpful, but not required. We care more about strong engineering fundamentals, product ownership, and the ability to learn quickly.

## What we offer

Our people are our most valuable asset. Base salary may vary depending on relevant experience, skills, geographic location, and business needs.

Benefits:

- Top-notch Private Healthcare Insurance for you and your family members
- Generous PTO policy
- Lunch at work
- Covered costs for parking for onsite staff
- Learning and development budget
- Paternity leave
- Hybrid work environment (with old town Belgrade office)

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.
