About Basis

Basis is an AI platform built to take on accounting & finance workflows end-to-end. We combine ML and accounting expertise to build systems that do real work on behalf of our users and are in production today.

We have hit product market fit, have more demand than we can meet, and are now scaling to see out the long-term vision. We just completed a yet to be announced Series A from tier-1 investors that gives us the capital to go big, and we need to do it fast.

Why join

• Extremely fast growth: We’ve partnered with some of the largest accounting firms in the world, with revenue 10x-ing over the last 5 months

• Be part of building a company: We’re scaling the team fast and the business faster, meaning there will always be more responsibility than we have people. No better place to get a ton of responsibility and ownership on day 1.

• World class investors: While not yet announced, we’re backed by tier-1 ML & fintech investors who are aligned on the big vision and have helped scaled many of the generational companies of past two decades. Our investors have backed OpenAI, Ramp, Stripe etc.

• In person & interdisciplinary: We operate on the frontier of what’s technically possible. That is why being in-person is a must. We’re bringing together the brightest minds from the top engineering, ML, and accounting teams to work together in our NYC office and build production quality agentic systems.

• High risk: We believe the world is about to change in profound ways. We are building Basis to be on the cutting-edge of that change for a decade to come, and we have an appetite for the risk that comes with that. The journey has just begun.

• Compensation: We pay 50% percentile cash and 90% percentile equity because the whole team is all-in, and we want you to be too.

📍 Location: NYC, Flatiron office. In-person team.

About the role

As a leader on our Product Engineering team, you won't just ship code, you'll own a product.

LLMs allow a more general intelligence to be embedded directly within software, challenging conventional principles of software design. We don’t yet have all the answers on what the "right" product experience looks like in this new paradigm, but we know it will go far beyond a simple chatbot—just as mobile-first design didn't just shrink the desktop.

You will be expected to think about the customer, prioritize various features, execute against company objectives, and be accountable for pushing the product forward.

Importantly, product engineering at Basis is not only about building the best experience for today’s users but charting the path to the future of human - software interaction.
