Engineering Manager

About the role

Why Numeric

Every business runs on accounting, but the systems underneath it were built for a different era. Today’s ERPs don’t store a company’s financial data. They store a diluted copy of it. Every contract, lease, and invoice gets flattened into a journal entry, and the context that made it meaningful is thrown away. That’s why accounting teams spend every month re-checking numbers, stitching together spreadsheets, and waiting on engineering, and why AI struggles to do real accounting work. Accounting doesn’t have a reporting problem. It has a data problem.

Enter Numeric: the data platform finance teams run on. We started with the month-end close, where the data problem hurts most, and hundreds of finance teams now run their close on Numeric. That work led us to rebuild the system of record itself. In September 2026 we launched the Financial Data Platform (FDP), a platform built for the agent era. Instead of a journal entry, the real business object enters the system and the accounting is derived from it. Every number is traceable to its source, reporting works on any dimension, and accountants and AI agents finally have enough context to work together. While others bolted AI features onto the old data model, we built a new one.

We have a growing base of customers who love our product, including Anthropic, Plaid, Brex, Betterment, Wealthfront, and Asana. We’ve raised $89M from top-tier investors including IVP, Menlo Ventures, Founders Fund, and 8VC, along with founders and executives from Ramp, Segment, and other category-defining companies. We’re in-person, with teams in New York, San Francisco, and London, and we just shipped the product that will define our next decade. There’s never been a better time to join.

The Role

We're hiring our first dedicated Engineering Manager to help lead our engineering teams in SF. You'll manage and grow a team of engineers while staying close enough to the code and the system design to earn the trust of the people you lead. We're not looking for someone who manages from a distance — we're looking for someone who's done the work, still wants to be in the details when it matters, and gets energy from making other engineers better.

What you might work on

- Data platform: Lead the team building the ingestion, transformation, and lineage infrastructure that gives accountants traceable, source-connected access to their financial data at any level of detail.

- Reporting engine: Own delivery of the experience for flexibly defining, composing, and drilling into structured financial reports, from high-level projections down to individual transactions.

- Accounting automation: Guide the team developing the core engine that brings structure to messy financial data, automating large swaths of manual work and turning accountants into engineers.

- Workflow, AI, and user experience: Lead a team building complex, cyclical accounting workflows with dependency management, automation, and AI-native experiences — all wrapped in a product we take pride in making delightful to use.
