Senior Software Engineer, Accounting

Why Join AngelList We’re solving some of the hardest problems in venture capital and private markets. You’ll work with a team that values precision, urgency, and long‑term thinking. If you want to shape how startups are funded and built, this is the place. About AngelList We exist to accelerate innovation by increasing the number of successful startups in the world. We do this by building the financial infrastructure that makes it easier for more people to invest in world‑changing companies. AngelList is the nexus of venture capital and the startup community. We support $171B+ in assets and have powered investments into over 13,000 startups—over 300 of which are unicorns. Today, 57% of top‑tier U.S. VC deals involve investors on AngelList. While our scale is large, our ambition is larger. If you’re excited to build the future of private markets, come build with us. About the Role: AngelList helps over 25,000 funds manage $171B+ in startup investments. Our software automates the work for our in‑house team of operators, financial accountants, and tax professionals. We are now charting the course to managing $1T in investments. AngelList aims to power the best‑performing venture funds. We can win these customers if we deliver financials more accurately and more quickly than anyone else. We need to issue and collect capital calls faster than anyone. We need to make our customers’ requests either self‑serve, or so operationally tight behind‑the‑scenes, that it feels self‑serve. We will get there by delivering a new product experience, where the GP may self‑serve more of their requests; and by overhauling our accounting system to automate more operational work. You will have the opportunity to: Model financial workflows—turning messy, real‑world fund data into accurate and automated financials. Build scalable accounting infrastructure—improving how financial data is reported on the front‑end, and building out how we read/write to the general ledger on the back‑end. Solve hard data integrity problems—ensuring our system produces reliable and audit‑ready outputs across a growing universe of funds. Collaborate directly with accounting stakeholders in a tight feedback loop, turning their manual processes into automated systems. Work with other highly talented and self‑motivated colleagues driven by the same mission. You are most likely: A senior back‑end engineer (Ruby on Rails or similar MVC frameworks) with 5+ years of experience, capable of owning features end to end and venturing into the frontend (React, TypeScript). Understand financial workflows or eager to dive deep into fund accounting, transaction processing, and general ledger systems. You are excited about the details of how money flows through the venture ecosystem. Thrive on complexity—modeling ambiguous problems, messy data, and evolving business requirements in a relational database (Postgres, MySQL) where every record is critical. Build for reliability—designing systems to produce audit‑ready financial outputs, not best‑effort calculations. Customer‑oriented to solve complex business problems in collaboration with users in finance and accounting. Execution‑focused, comfortable with balancing tradeoffs and making progress in a fast‑moving environment. Deep love of startups, having worked in at least one! You may have founded one yourself or hope to start a company in the future. Working Here If you don’t meet every requirement above, we still encourage you to apply. We value complementary strengths and operators who learn by doing. AngelList has offices in a few cities, with our engineering hub in San Francisco. We’re building our engineering and product teams around this hub to make the most of in‑person collaboration. We have a hybrid in‑office model: teammates come in at least 2 days per week (Tuesdays and either Wednesday or Thursday).
