Software Engineer - AI Agents

About the role

San Francisco, CA (Hybrid - 3 days onsite)

The Role

We’re hiring Software Engineers to build AI agents that power the next generation of LiveFlow.

This is a full-stack role at its core, with a strong focus on designing and developing agent-driven systems embedded throughout the product.

We’re building a system of collaborating agents, with precision tools and robust auditability, giving our users superpowers they can deploy with confidence.

What You’ll Work on

• Understanding customer workflows, use-cases and jobs to be done
• Building AI agents to simplify and eliminate tedious and error-prone tasks
• Developing the realtime platform for finance teams to work together and with agents
• Designing and scaling APIs and CLI to enable interoperability
• Contributing to compounding engineering practices that enable our team to operate more efficiently and effectively
• Ensuring high standards of data security, reliability, and compliance

In Engineering

• We offer unlimited budget to use and explore the latest coding tools
• You can work with whatever agents and environment you prefer, locally or in the cloud
• We employ the principles of compound engineering, expecting everybody to invest in bettering the agentic coding environment, through docs, skills, tools and MCP
• We use Linear to spec our work, Graphite for stacked PRs and better review UX, Cubic for assisted code review, Blacksmith to run our CI/CD

In the Product

• Anything a user can do, an agent should be able to do - through tool calls, APIs and CLI
• Like software, the work of accounting is changing from the acts of writing and doing to the acts of reading and reviewing - we’re building to enable that future
• Accuracy, auditability and security remain non-negotiable
• Speed, efficiency and simplicity are how we stand out

Our Stack

• Backend: Elixir / Phoenix
• Frontend: Next.js, TypeScript
• Infrastructure: AWS, Terraform

• We don’t expect experience in everything.
• If you’ve worked with functional languages, frameworks like Rails/Django, or modern frontend stacks, you’ll ramp quickly. What matters most is your ability to learn, adapt, and build.

What We’re Looking for

• Strong software engineering fundamentals
• Experience building with AI agents, LLM-powered systems, or workflow automation
• Product mindset - you care about users and outcomes, not just implementation
• Ability to operate in fast-paced environment where we embrace uncertainty
• High ownership and willingness to wear multiple hats
• Intuition for when to follow best practices and when to rethink them
