A new kind of power for finance teams

Job description:

Kinter builds AI agents that execute the expense-side of the accounting close for mid-market finance teams. Prepaid, accruals, payroll, reconciliation, and more: the repetitive, judgment-heavy work that keeps finance teams stuck in spreadsheets every close. We're a lean, product-centric team (\~30 people) moving fast with an exciting product we launched a few months ago. Here you'll do the best work of your life and have a massive impact: what you ship this month is used by finance teams the next. ### How you'll make an impact here * Work with the team to build the Kinter platform from the ground up. We’re a few months into launching the full platform which means there’s a ton of product discovery, exploration, validation and complex problems to solve here. * Start by building the ERP integration layer connecting our agents to NetSuite and other ERPs: authentication, data mapping (chart of accounts, journal entries, vendor and customer records), OCR, and edge cases that only become obvious in production and at scale. * Work directly with customers and their finance teams to understand how their ERP is configured, and translate that into data that our agents can rely on. * Move fluidly across the stack: backend services that talk to ERPs, the data layer that feeds our agents, and the product that surfaces actionable intelligence to finance teams. * Own problems end to end, from investigating API quirks to shipping, monitoring, and iterating our flagship product. * Help define how Kinter approaches new data sources for our agents as we expand support for enterprise systems; the patterns you build now become the template for what comes next. * Work closely with product, engineering, leadership, and customers directly. Given the size of the team, decisions move fast and your work is visible. ### What you'll bring to the team * Solid experience building web applications and services with Node.js, TypeScript, and React, and comfort working across frontend and backend as needed. * Experience integrating with third-party APIs, ideally ERPs (NetSuite, QuickBooks, Sage, Oracle Fusion, SAP) or other financial and accounting systems. Strong experience with complex, quirky third-party APIs more broadly (payments, banking, CRM) is also relevant if it involves careful data mapping and edge case handling. * Excellent problem-solving skills: comfortable diagnosing issues with incomplete information, breaking down ambiguous problems into actionable steps, creativity in finding solutions, and building resilient systems, often around unreliable third-party endpoints. * A generalist and self-starter mindset. You're energized by learning a new domain (accounting) and by owning a feature from idea to production, rather than staying in one layer of the stack. And you’re curious and show initiative, taking ownership beyond only what task is assigned to you. * Extreme collaboration. You’ll work across small, cross-functional teams, which means knowledge-sharing, pairing up with other engineers, product managers, and designers, removing bottlenecks and helping the broader product team hit their goals. * Experience running production systems (deploying, testing, monitoring, debugging) and building with reliability and observability in mind from the start. * Comfort with ambiguity and a startup pace. Our roadmap shifts with what customers need, and you'll help shape it – not just execute it. Which also means you need to be organized to structure code, tasks and projects, prioritizing between quick wins and deeper engineering investments. ### **How we work** Everyone at Kinter operates by five values. Here's what they look like in this role specifically: * **Be Fearless:** You'll work in parts of the stack nobody has fully figured out yet, whether that's an undocumented API quirk today or a new agent workflow six months from now. That means moving into the uncertainty instead of waiting for someone else to derisk it first * **Just Do It:** We're a small team with a product that shipped a few months ago. A working feature you can iterate on beats a perfect plan that takes a quarter, whatever part of the product you're touching * **Sweat the Details:** A misread chart of accounts, an off-by-one in a journal entry, or a subtle bug in an agent's output can misstate a customer's books. Precision matters everywhere in this product, not just in the integration layer * **Obsess Over Customers:** You'll spend real time with customers' finance teams, understanding how their close actually works today, before you write a line of code. That habit doesn't change as you move from integrations into other parts of the product * **Tell It Like It Is:** If an approach won't hold up, whether that's an integration assumption, a product decision, or a piece of scope you think is wrong, we want to hear that early and directly, not after it's live
