# Senior Software Engineer at Rho

- **Company:** Rho
- **Location:** New York, NY
- **Employment:** full-time
- **Work type:** onsite
- **Posted:** 2026-05-21
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-09-10
- **Apply:** https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/rho/6a9e17f7-7239-44f8-afc0-3988a237d8d4

## 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

As a Senior Software Engineer at Rho, you'll build the financial infrastructure powering the next generation of founders. This isn't a role where you sit inside a lane. You'll move across the stack, own problems end-to-end, and talk directly to the customers using what you ship. We're hiring engineers who are restless about impact, reach for AI tools the way other people reach for documentation, and genuinely want to understand why what they're building matters.

## What You'll Do

- Own problems from scoping to production. Write the code, ship it, watch it land.
- Work across the stack. You go where the problem is, not where your comfort zone ends.
- Talk to customers. Sit in on calls, read support tickets, watch session replays. Build what people actually need.
- Use AI in your daily workflow. Code generation, debugging, spec drafting, and spot where it changes what's possible.
- Move fast and iterate in the open. Get something in front of users, then make it better.
- Pick up what's falling. If something's broken, fix it.

## What We're Looking For

- 5+ years of software engineering experience in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
- Genuine full-stack flexibility. You've shipped across the stack and don't treat the backend/frontend divide as a hard boundary.
- Genuine AI fluency. You use these tools every day and think about where they raise the ceiling on what you can build.
- A bias to ship. You'd rather get something in front of a user than perfect it in a doc.
- Customer curiosity. You want to know the person on the other side of what you're building, and you'll go find out.
- High agency. You make progress when things are unclear, surface problems early, and own your outcomes.

## Compensation & Benefits

Our people are our most valuable asset. The salary range for this role is $170,000 - $270,000. In addition to base pay, Rho offers equity, healthcare benefits and paid time off. Diversity, empathy and transparency are core values at Rho. We are 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 of making finance frictionless for business.

## 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.
