Software Engineer

Job description

## ****Full-Stack Engineer (Denari)**** ****Location:**** Madison, WI (Hybrid) ****Employment Type:**** Full-time ### ****About Denari**** Denari is building the modern software stack for accounting firms — an intelligent, AI-powered operating system that unifies client collaboration, document management, workflow automation, and financial insights in one seamless platform. Accounting work today is deeply ****fragmented**** — across dozens of disconnected tools and tasks, creating inefficiency, training challenges, and limited visibility for firm leaders. Denari solves this by providing a ****unified platform**** for firms — one place to collaborate, manage engagements, automate workflows, and surface insights. Our north star: ****save firms as many compliance hours as possible**** so accountants can focus on advisory work that drives higher margins and stronger client relationships. We’re a well-funded, fast-moving company with shared ownership alongside ****Lucida****, a mid-sized accounting firm in Wisconsin. We are product- and talent-driven, with a high bar for execution and growth. * * * ### ****The Role**** We’re looking for world-class engineers — ****builders in the top 1% of their craft.**** You’ll join a team that moves fast, holds a high bar, and expects intensity, curiosity, and rapid learning. If you learn quickly, work hard, enjoy craft, and love building elegant systems that solve complex real-world problems, you’ll fit right in. If you’re seeking a stable, slow-paced role that prioritizes work–life balance above all else, ****please look elsewhere****. Denari is for people who want to push themselves, grow quickly, and build something truly world-class. * * * ### ****What You’ll Do**** - Move quickly on developing new products and features across Denari’s suite. - Work in tight iteration loops with constant communication across design, product, and engineering. - Operate as part of a small, high-ownership team that values autonomy and accountability. - Bring a ****leadership mentality**** — push to improve team processes, raise standards, and help others level up. - Build and maintain ****end-to-end features**** using ****TypeScript,**** ****React/Next.js****, ****PostgreSQL****, and ****tRPC****. - Partner closely with others engineers to transition parts of the existing ****Go-based infrastructure**** into a unified TypeScript platform. - Participate in ****architectural discussions**** and define best practices for scalability, maintainability, and security. - Be transparent, honest, and upfront in your communication. - Contribute to ****automation of compliance workflows****, leveraging data and AI. - Use ****LLMs**** and modern AI tools in your workflow wherever they accelerate output or insight. * * * ### ****What You’ll Bring**** - 3–6 years of full-stack development experience, ****or preferably exceptional growth and output in less time.**** - Mastery of ****TypeScript****, with strong skill in ****React/Next.js**** and backend services using ****Node.js****. - Experience with ****PostgreSQL**** and ****ORMs**** like Drizzle. - Deep understanding of ****API design****, ****tRPC****, or ****GraphQL****. - Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines and cloud deployment (Vercel, AWS). - Proven ability to thrive in ****fast-moving, high-ownership**** environments. - Desire to continuously improve, learn fast, and deliver exceptional product quality. - Strong sense of product ownership and empathy for end users; you’ll regularly talk with accountants, partners, and staff to understand their workflows and shape the product experience. * * * ### ****Nice-to-Have**** - Experience with ****Go (Golang)**** or migrating backends to TypeScript. - Background in ****accounting, workflow automation****, or ****document management**** systems. - Experience working with ****LLMs****, AI agents, or intelligent automation systems. * * * ### ****Why Join Denari**** - Build the foundation of a product transforming the accounting industry. - Work directly with founders and top firms. - In-person collaboration (3 days/week in Madison) with flexibility and autonomy. - Comprehensive benefits package including health, dental, vision, life, disability, 401(k) with match, 20 days PTO, and paid holidays. * * * ****Join us in building the intelligent accounting platform of the future.**** Apply at [****denari.ai/careers****](https://denari.ai) or email your portfolio and GitHub to [****[email protected]****](mailto:[email protected]).
