About DualEntry

DualEntry is building the OS for finance. Every business needs a financial system of record, yet the world's largest fintech market ($220B+) still runs on software from the 1990s. DualEntry's AI-native ERP automates accounting from data entry to close, so finance teams move faster, spend less, and incur less risk.

In just 2 years, we've raised $100M+ from Lightspeed, Khosla Ventures, Contrary, and Google Ventures and earned the trust of customers from $5M ARR to publicly traded companies.

About the Role

As an Applied Engineer in NYC, you will:

Build and embed on named customer projects, owning them end to end: discovery, design, build, deploy, and verify
Build migration and integration pipelines on Temporal that are idempotent, resumable, and auditable
Model and load customer accounting data into Postgres correctly, including reconciling against their existing system
Build internal tooling so recurring one-offs stop being one-offs
Feed patterns back into the core product, and productize or hand off anything that becomes permanent
Compress the path from “customer requested” to “shipped"

Requirements

Hardcore work ethic and high agency
5+ years shipping production full stack software, end to end and unsupervised
Django and DRF, plus Postgres beyond ORM defaults. You read query plans and have run migrations against live data with customers on it
Next.js and React with TypeScript
Durable workflow experience. Celery preferred
Direct customer exposure on past experiences. You have sat with a customer, scoped the problem with them, and shipped against it
Experience with third party APIs, webhooks, rate limits, reconciling two systems that disagree

Nice to Have

Accounting, ERP, or fintech domain knowledge: double-entry, chart of accounts, close, AP/AR, revenue recognition
Prior forward deployed, applied, or special projects experience
Judgment about when to ship a script versus build a system

Why You’ll Thrive Here

Significant equity ownership in one of the top AI companies in the world
You’re joining early and will grow with DualEntry
Your feedback shapes the product directly
High-speed, high-trust environment with high expectations

Marcin took a non-existent tax structure and built it end to end, setting the north star for how the team keeps improving it on top of it; modular and robust, always setting the bar for the rest

Danylo took ownership of our bank connection engine end to end and rebuilt it from scratch over a weekend
