Founding AI & ML Engineer

Concourse builds AI agents for corporate finance teams. Companies connect core data sources from data warehouses, ERPs, payroll, billing, and more into Concourse, where our AI agents can analyze data and deliver insights in seconds. Our AI agents can be prompted through natural language and can return analyses, forecasts, and reports, boosting the finance team’s productivity by up to 10x. Purpose-built for finance, Concourse agents offer transparency, memory, and presentation-ready output, helping teams cut manual work by 75% while generating 6x more insights.

At its core, Concourse is reimagining how companies interact with financial data. Traditional finance tools haven’t changed in decades, teams still rely on fragmented point solutions and static spreadsheets. Our mission is not only to automate routine tasks but to transform decision-making by giving finance teams a deeper understanding and generating net-new insights into business performance.

Since launching less than a year ago, Concourse has grown rapidly. Our AI agents are deployed across 50+ customers, including unicorn startups (Persona, Front, Lightmatter) and large public companies (including now 2 Fortune 500). Concourse is a Y Combinator company backed by Andreessen Horowitz, CRV, and 50+ angel investors from companies like Brex, Rippling, Flywire, and DoorDash.

The Role

We're hiring a Founding AI Engineer to lead the engineering efforts of our AI agents. You'll be passionate about AI's potential to transform enterprise work and excited to build production-grade agents with best-in-class performance for large customers and datasets.

The right candidate will have high ownership mentality, infectious energy, and technical expertise to move the company and engineering organization forward.

Key Responsibilities

  • Build, maintain, and scale infrastructure to process hundreds of thousands of queries per month—ensure accuracy and response rates for LLM calls and SQL responses

  • Fine-tune models through code and prompt engineering to create optimal outputs from different LLMs

  • Work with backend integrations to finance data sources (ERPs, banks, CRMs, HRIS) and data models to ensure agent accuracy

  • Experiment with the latest models and AI advances to improve response rates and augment functionality—test new tools and create industry-leading expertise

  • Own large parts of the product and engineering with a significant ownership mentality that drives meaningful outcomes

  • Work directly with the team to build out engineering culture

About You

  • 5+ years with production LLMs & AI agents: You have experience building software products with a focus on LLMs and have deployed AI agents in production environments. Ideally you're working with AI daily, but you may have built your own LLM-based projects or are deeply passionate about the space. We're all in on AI and want you to bring that same passion for the technology and its potential application within finance. You have strong experience in prompt engineering and actively keep up with the latest news and advancements in AI. Experience in fintech, SaaS, or enterprise technology is a plus.

  • Founder mentality: We're a team of ex-founders and early-stage startup employees building a culture of ownership and autonomy that can handle the ambiguities of fast-paced startups. You've either started a company, been an early startup employee, or someday want to start a company. You want to do some of the best work of your career at Concourse with a very high level of drive and passion.

  • World-class work ethic: We're a small team that asks a lot of everyone in an effort to build a winning culture. You can operate independently, figure out solutions on your own, and have the determination to deliver. Things move very quickly at Concourse—decisions are fast, and we lean heavily on each member to contribute effectively to the product. Going above and beyond and having the energy to crush goals and deadlines is essential.

  • Strong problem solver: You're adept at thinking through challenging technical issues using debuggers, prototyping, testing solutions, and creative problem-solving. You thrive on thinking through challenges and finding innovative ways to make an impact.

Bonus Points

  • 0-1 Startup experience

  • Experience managing engineers & teams

  • Experience with fintech, data, or enterprise SaaS

What We Offer

Top-of-the-market compensation. We offer top-of-the-market compensation in both cash and equity. We want to stay lean and mean with a world-class team and will compensate as such.

Continuous Learning. Every day will be a new opportunity to learn and expand your skill set. We are focused on increasing the pace of learning for everyone at the company. If you are continuously curious and focused on improving your skills & domain expertise at work, Concourse will be a great fit for you.

Ownership & High Impact. As a founding team member, we will look to you to own parts of the product, code base, and culture of the company. We will look for your point of view, feedback, and suggestions, and give you room to run with your ideas.
