# Software Engineer, Applied AI at Numeric

- **Company:** Numeric
- **Location:** San Francisco, CA
- **Employment:** full-time
- **Posted:** 2026-09-15
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-09-25

## Job description

At Numeric, we’re building the modern data platform for accounting and finance. We’re building the financial platform that realizes the dream of live, rich, trustworthy data and insights for companies to drive decision-making & execution. Among our hundreds of customers are Anthropic, Notion, Brex, OpenAI, Cursor, Plaid, Wealthfront, Mercury, Figma, and Asana. We raised a $51M Series B in late 2025. We’re backed by IVP, Menlo Ventures, Founders Fund, 8VC, et all. as well as founders and executives from Ramp, Segment, and more. Why Numeric? Accounting is a massive, growing [data problem](https://numeric.substack.com/p/accountings-data-problem). Every business would like to ground their decisions, strategy, and analysis in rich, up-to-date information. Financial data, however, is poor, fragmented, delayed, and lacking context; the accounting work to bring it together is tedious and error-prone. To fix this requires foundational changes in accounting and in the broader finance function. We are addressing these problems at their root by building the infrastructure and product experiences to ingest events, transform them, match value movement, project interpretations, and report against our unified graph of financial data. We’re applying principles of software engineering and data systems to scale accounting. We tackle the hard problems. Accounting does not need more duct tape. We’ve rethought the field—its primitives, assumptions, and practices—while staying grounded by working closely with our customers. As engineers, we do our homework. We study the domain and talk to our users, and by doing so we earn the right to bring a fresh perspective to the problem of financial data.

## The Role

We’re turning accountants into engineers, and AI is a critical piece of that story. This role will lead the development of customer-facing AI experiences that make our platform usable, delightful, automated, auditable, and trusted. You’ll be responsible for building both user-facing features and the horizontal foundations we use to bring unified, trustworthy AI automation and experiences to our users. You’ll make strategic decisions and build the loops for how we measure and improve the efficacy of our AI product experiences. You might be a fit if… You’re curious by nature. You’re a generalist with a desire to work at the cutting edge of AI tech, and to build novel interaction patterns for a complex domain. You have an instinct to deeply understand your users and the problems they deal with. You like to see things for yourself.

## What you need

- Generalist fullstack skills: experience with backend development and web development frameworks
- You have experience shipping greenfield projects
- You’ve built projects with modern AI (bonus points for business-facing contexts)

Bonus points for…

- Work history in a relevant technical area: AI research, AI infra, or design

## How we work

This role is in-person in San Francisco. As an engineer at Numeric you will learn the domain, meet your users, and exercise substantial creativity and agency over product direction. You'll work with a high-pace, high-integrity team that loves collaboration. We believe the best company is the one with the best ICs and we’ve built a culture to maximize great work. We believe great product & engineering come from a desire to win, a deep care for the craft, and a pragmatism in shipping for overall impact. As engineers we ground our work in our understanding of the users, the domain, and the goals for our organization. We strongly believe we will only be successful if everyone on the team is anchored in our following set of core principles:

- Own the Outcome: We own our results. We typically hire builders and give them large mandates with high-trust. Engineers are responsible not just for code, but for ensuring the product is solving the end problems of the users.
- Brick by Brick: To win, our team needs to show up and execute in each domain every day.
- Love the Game: We focus on the craft and a deep sense of giving a f*ck. We’re building a company full of people who are equally engaged and motivated.
- Earn the right: Our ability to rethink how things are done depends on the trust and reputation we build by shipping quality products and improving the lives of our users.
- SALY: We refuse to accept “Same As Last Year.” We bring fresh eyes to a stagnated and underserved domain. We’re driven by a first-principles approach to building better solutions.

## About Numeric

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Numeric is an AI-powered close automation platform that unifies close management, reporting, and cash management for complex accounting teams.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Seed, Series A, Series B – total funding $92.5M)
- **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, United States
- **Founded**: 2021 (inferred from Seed round in May 2021)
- **Founders**: Parker Gilbert (Co-Founder & CEO) and Anthony Alvernaz (Co-Founder)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Accounting & Finance Software (AI-native record-to-report)
- **Target customers**: B2B, primarily enterprise accounting and finance teams at private and public companies
- **Mission**: “Empower every business to have perfect financial clarity.”

## Products & Services
- **Numeric Platform**: AI-native record-to-report platform that unifies close management, reporting, and cash management.
- **Close Management**: Automate reconciliations, close checklists, journal entry creation, transaction monitoring, and flux analysis with AI-driven auto-drafting.
- **Cash Management**: Centralize bank data, automate cash matching (90%+ automation), and gain real-time cash visibility.
- **Analytics Suite**: Build custom reports, run flux analysis, and collaborate on management reporting without deep ERP expertise.
- **MCP Connector**: Leverage a Model Context Protocol connector to build custom agents and automate multi-step workflows.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total funding of $92.5M (latest Series B of $51M in November 2025)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Investor names not publicly listed in available sources; backed by multiple venture capital firms across Seed, Series A, and Series B rounds.
- **Growth Signals**: 92 employees (+90.3% YoY headcount growth); operates in 5 countries (US, UK, Germany, India, Canada); used by hundreds of private and public companies; active job postings up 160% year-over-year.

## Competitive Advantages
- **AI-native platform**: Built from the ground up for AI, not retrofitted – enables real-time accounting, auto-drafted flux explanations, and custom AI agents.
- **End-to-end coverage**: Unifies close management, cash management, and analytics in one platform, replacing brittle Excel-based workflows.
- **Data integration**: Pulls every transaction line from ERPs, integrates bank feeds, and supports document/CSV uploads for granular visibility.
- **In-person culture**: 5 days a week in-office fosters tight collaboration and rapid iteration, a differentiator in a remote-first world.

## Strategic Focus
- Expand product roadmap deeper into critical accounting workflows beyond close management (e.g., real-time accounting, AI-driven compliance).
- Continue building a “first, real-time financial data platform” to lift accountants’ roles into higher-value strategic work.
- Scale sales and go-to-market efforts across the US, UK, and Europe (active hiring for Account Executives, Sales Engineers, and Customer Success).

## Why Work Here
- **Engineering culture**: Product engineers own problems end-to-end, work directly with internal accountants and users, and are expected to have deep systems thinking and fast iteration. High autonomy and high trust.
- **Work environment**: In-person 5 days a week in San Francisco, New York, or London. The company believes “work moves faster (and is far more fun!) when you’re all in the same room.”
- **Values**: “Earn the Right”, “Own the Outcome”, “Love the Game”, “SALY” (refuse to accept “Same As Last Year”). Emphasis on craftsmanship, impact, and execution.
- **Perks & culture**: Annual company offsites, “passport” stamps for milestones (serious and silly), Eric Num robot mascot with weekly emoji drops, and a focus on having fun while solving hard problems.
- **Growth trajectory**: 90%+ headcount growth YoY, rapidly expanding product scope, and strong funding – ideal for someone seeking high-impact, high-visibility roles.
