Every business runs on accounting, but the systems underneath it were built for a different era. Today’s ERPs don’t store a company’s financial data. They store a diluted copy of it. Every contract, lease, and invoice gets flattened into a journal entry, and the context that made it meaningful is thrown away. That’s why accounting teams spend every month re-checking numbers, stitching together spreadsheets, and waiting on engineering, and why AI struggles to do real accounting work. Accounting doesn’t have a reporting problem. It has a data problem.
Enter Numeric: the data platform finance teams run on. We started with the month-end close, where the data problem hurts most, and hundreds of finance teams now run their close on Numeric. That work led us to rebuild the system of record itself. In September 2026 we launched the Financial Data Platform (FDP), a platform built for the agent era. Instead of a journal entry, the real business object enters the system and the accounting is derived from it. Every number is traceable to its source, reporting works on any dimension, and accountants and AI agents finally have enough context to work together. While others bolted AI features onto the old data model, we built a new one.
We have a growing base of customers who love our product, including Anthropic, Plaid, Brex, Betterment, Wealthfront, and Asana. We’ve raised $89M from top-tier investors including IVP, Menlo Ventures, Founders Fund, and 8VC, along with founders and executives from Ramp, Segment, and other category-defining companies. We’re in-person, with teams in New York, San Francisco, and London, and we just shipped the product that will define our next decade. There’s never been a better time to join.
Platform Engineering at Numeric is engineering for engineering. Our customers are our own engineers and, increasingly, the AI agents working alongside them. The mission: make every engineer and agent dramatically more productive by building a shared platform, so anyone can go from idea to safely deployed change without bespoke setup or tribal knowledge. This role is the developer-infrastructure half of that mission — environments, CI/CD and deployment, infrastructure-as-code, environment parity, observability, security, and internal tooling. The current reality has gaps (deploys with no staging gate, migrations without clean rollback, a prod-DB-clone lock that blocks deploys, Terraform drift, two clouds where there should be one) and a roadmap to close them. You’d own pieces of that roadmap end to end and then watch engineers actually use them.
Stack: AWS (ECS, RDS, S3), OpenTofu/Terraform via Spacelift, GitHub Actions, Datadog, TypeScript / Node, Postgres, ClickHouse, Inngest.
This role is in-person in San Francisco (in office, with flexibility).
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:
