About the role


Calling all full-stack software engineers


We’re looking for an exceptional full-stack engineer to join us as a founding team member.

Truewind is changing the way accountants and financial analysts work by building AI-native workflows. We’re developing cutting-edge AI technology that simplifies bookkeeping, financial reporting, and decision-making, providing finance teams and companies with the insights they need to succeed.

The founding full-stack software engineer is multifaceted; you will be instrumental in shaping both the technical and culture foundations of our company. You’ll need to feel comfortable going outside your comfort zone and enjoy wearing many different hats. Strong experience building web applications is essential; if you've built them from scratch, that's even better.

Lastly, we want you to join us in San Francisco. We believe building in-person is a 10x multiplier for the company and we hope you’ll join us here. Our HQ is the Financial District in San Francisco (more details on the home page).
