About this role
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer with 4-15 years of experience to join Brillian as a core builder of AI-native financial intelligence products. You’ll work alongside a small, senior team to transform manual accounting workflows into intelligent backend systems — bringing a scientific, experimental mindset to high-stakes AI engineering problems.
What will you be doing?
- Building agentic AI systems (looping, orchestration) that power customer-facing product features in production
- Taking messy financial data sets and building programmatic pipelines to model and extract insights from them
- Owning features end-to-end: from articulating the user need through to production deployment, monitoring, and iteration
- Designing and running rigorous evaluations to measure whether AI approaches are moving the needle
- Converting what’s traditionally done manually in accounting into automated backend services
Key Requirements
- Proven track record shipping production code — strong software engineering fundamentals are non-negotiable
- Experience building AI/agentic systems in production at scale (not just side projects or prompt wrappers)
- Scientific, experimental approach to development — rigorous evaluation of AI outputs and ability to get stakeholder buy-in
- End-to-end ownership mentality; startup experience or evidence of taking things from zero to one
- Production-grade Python skills with backend service development experience
Requirements
Requirements
Dealbreaker
Work experience
- Must have Hands-on experience with ML/AI implementation including building agentic workflows and AI-native product features - multi-step orchestration, evaluations, not just API wrappers
- Must have Deep backend engineering experience, data-dense domain like document parsing or financial data
- Must have Owned work end-to-end that created real user value or customer impact
Miscellaneous
- Must have US-based, NY Metro preferred
Baseline
Seniority
- Required 4 - 15 years of experience in backend software engineering, with production Python and AI/ML systems ideally at early-stage startups
Work experience
- Required Early-stage startup experience, ideally experiencing a degree of growth; valuation accounting preferred
Hard skills
- Required Experience writing production code in Python
Soft skills
- Required Scientific, experimental approach to engineering — uses rigorous evaluations to measure progress and communicate results to stakeholders
Nice-to-have
Education
- Academic or research background in ML/Data Science
Hard skills
Traits to avoid
- Only worked at large non-tech companies (e.g. banks) with no startup or end-to-end ownership
- Generalist backend, full-stack or infra engineers whose AI exposure is limited to recent LLM integrations
- Extended gaps filled only with vibe-coded side projects with no users
- Pure researchers who prefer siloed, non-production work
- Multiple short stints (under ~1 year), or only one employer across their career
