We have big ambitions: Every organization currently makes decisions with outdated and inaccurate financial data, with virtually no change in 30 years. It is not a failure of accounting and finance teams, it is a failure of their software. It's a problem solved today with a mix of software from the '80s and '90s, expensive consultants, manual work, and pulling engineers from more important projects. All of this still results in summary-level data, stitched together manually, from unconnected data silos into delicate spreadsheets. We are building the platform that founders and finance teams will use to power their business in real-time with highly accurate and reconciled data. If we succeed, you'll be part of a company that transforms the way companies run and grow their businesses.

The fintech opportunity is huge: Puzzle is in a large industry with a huge TAM (total addressable market). Financial software for the enterprise has experienced incredible success in the private and public markets in the past few years, and is just getting started. This is the glue that holds fintech together.

As part of Puzzle, you will help design and build a next generation financial and accounting data platform. We will be ingesting large amounts of data from disparate sources, transforming them, organizing them, and automatically turning them into easily understandable company financials.

We want to be as real-time as possible, event-driven, and decoupled. Redundant, resistant and secure. And accuracy is key. This is your opportunity to be an engineer at a well-funded startup that has a successful founder and a drive to change how companies leverage their financials. We are remote-first.

The Staff Engineer will provide technical leadership and guidance to provide Puzzle with highly available and scalable platform services. This includes system analysis, design, troubleshooting, and integration of new products and developing tools and strategies to improve existing systems. This is a hands-on role where you will be building everything from small features to large systems as we keep improving our platform.
