Founding Frontend Engineer
QUANTA FINANCIAL
Software Engineering
Posted on Oct 21, 2024
At Quanta, we're re-thinking the accounting and finance system of record in order to drastically improve how businesses understand their finances.
We are solving a top cited pain point from finance teams, which is that the process of getting the answers they need about their finances is tediously slow. We do so by automating all of the accounting for our users, which not only eliminates painful manual work, but also lets us build up a well-architected financial system of record that provides users clarity in previously opaque areas. We are the full financial source of truth for our users today, and can do in seconds what takes our competitors weeks.
Despite only finishing our initial design partner phase at the beginning of this year, we have 20+ businesses as paying customers, all who signed annual contracts, and we’ve been doubling revenue every few months.
We’re well funded – we raised a $4.7m seed round from Accel and other top VCs – with years of runway.
About us
We are a tight-knit team of 6, working in-person in downtown San Francisco.
Our team has spent our careers at the intersection of finance and technology. Between all of us, we’ve built accounting systems at Affirm, ledgers at Stripe, built previous companies from the ground up, built finance teams from one to dozens, and passed a CPA exam. 5 out of 6 of us have run a marathon (and we recently cheered on the 5th as he finished a half marathon).
About the role
We are looking for a founding engineer to take ownership of our entire frontend. Our current team is more experienced on the backend, so you would round us out and set the patterns that we would follow. As a founding engineer, you would not only build our product but also shape our culture, team, and strategy. We’re looking for someone who will contribute creatively to our product roadmap, help build a cohesive team, and architect our frontend.
The qualifications we’re looking for:
A frontend-focused engineer with extensive React and Typescript experience
An eye for design: enjoyment in building to design spec and working closely with design
Deep knowledge and experience with design systems, tokens, and building components
Drive to deeply understand users to build what’s best for them
Enjoyment of doing product work and defining your own requirements
Ownership mentality across the whole business; don’t need permission to leave things better than you found them
Ability to focus on what matters most in order to ship fast
Excited about working in-person with a collaborative team in our San Francisco office
