Member of Technical Staff - General Application

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 scale 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

We are hiring in all areas and always open to candidates with evidence of exceptional ability. If you do not see an open role that is a fit but are excited about what we are building, let us know how you want to contribute, and apply to join us.

What we look for

• First principles reasoner: Able to break complex concepts down to their fundamental elements and then build from there

• Interdisciplinary: Willing and interested to jump across multiple disciplines

• Company-builder: Excited to lay the groundwork, technically and culturally, as we rapidly scale

• Office lover: Prefers shouting across a room over a slack message, seeking full-time in-office in NYC

• All-in: This is not a 9-5, we have a massive opportunity ahead of us and are looking to further accelerate our velocity. We are optimizing for the best folks and happy to compensate generously
