Senior Software Engineer, Finance

About the role

Curri is seeking a Senior Software Engineer, Finance to own the systems behind how money moves through the company, from the price a customer is quoted to what lands in our ERP. Every Curri delivery is a financial transaction: a customer gets billed, a driver gets paid, and finance closes the books. As we grow, our hardest problems are about money: getting paid faster, paying drivers accurately and on time, and giving finance numbers they can trust. This engineer will sit with the finance team, scope the problem directly, and ship the fix in weekly loops with AI as a force multiplier.

What you will do

• Own finance problems end to end, working directly with finance, ops, sales, customers, and drivers to scope, ship, measure, and iterate on fixes.
• Map and improve how financial data flows from quote and booking through invoicing, collections, and driver payouts into our ERP and reporting.
• Build and expand integrations with payment processors, ERP and accounting tools, invoicing, and driver payout systems.
• Ship smarter invoicing and billing options that make it easier for customers to pay on time and bring down DSO.
• Build reconciliation, audit trails, and automated checks so every cent is accounted for and problems surface before finance finds them.
• Ship full-stack in weekly loops across Go, TypeScript, Node, Postgres, NATS, Redis, and React/React Native, using Claude Code, Cursor, and Claude daily, and partner with Platform and Infrastructure on architectural decisions that scale.

What you need to have

• 5+ years of full-stack engineering experience across backend services (Go, Node, TypeScript, Postgres) and React, with a product engineer mindset that owns outcomes rather than tickets and is comfortable starting from a Slack message instead of a fully written spec.
• Strong systems thinking for money flows, including designing for retries, duplicate payment prevention, and data consistency across systems, with judgment about when to move fast and when to build for scale.
• Rigorous attention to financial data quality, treating numbers as something that has to be right rather than roughly right and building in checks, reconciliation, and audit trails by default.
• Clear, frequent communication with non-technical partners, asking the hard scope questions, explaining tradeoffs in plain language, and shipping visible progress rather than going dark for weeks.
• Daily fluency with AI coding tools like Claude Code and Cursor, knowing when to plan, when to drive the agent, and when to write the line yourself, and reviewing AI output critically before it ships.

Bonus points for

• Having shipped production code with Claude Code or a similar agent in the last six months, with a clear view of where it helped and where it led you astray.
• Hands-on experience with the Stripe API or an equivalent payments platform, including payouts, invoicing, or Connect.
• Speaking basic finance (DSO, AR/AP, reconciliation, revenue recognition, month-end close) and having partnered directly with finance or accounting teams.
• Building or running high-volume financial systems where every cent mattered.

What is in it for you?

• Direct ownership of the systems behind Curri's money flows, with a direct line to the finance team and real influence on how we bill, collect, and pay at scale.
• A lean, AI-forward engineering team where you ship product every week and experiment in the open instead of waiting for someone else to scope the work.
• Competitive salary, equity compensation, and comprehensive benefits (health, dental, vision, 401K).
• Remote-friendly, with the option to work from our Ventura, CA headquarters.
• A high-growth, mission-driven environment where your work has direct and measurable impact.
