Tabs Job Opportunity

Tabs is the leading AI-native revenue platform for modern finance and accounting teams. Tabs agents automate the entire contract-to-cash lifecycle, including billing, collections, revenue recognition, and reporting, to help teams eliminate manual work and accelerate cash flow.

High-growth companies like Cursor and Statsig rely on Tabs to generate invoices directly from contracts, reconcile payments in real time, and automate ASC 606 compliance.

Founded in 2023, Tabs has raised over $91 million from Lightspeed Venture Partners, General Catalyst, and Primary. The team is headquartered in New York and brings deep expertise in finance and AI.

Responsibilities:

• Own delivery of customer projects end-to-end (scoping → launch), across a range of sizes and urgency
• Act as a mini-PM: clarify requirements, define scope, and drive execution across stakeholders
• Build customer-specific solutions in Python & React, using Tabs' APIs and internal systems to deliver custom workflows
• Develop creative solutions by combining Tabs' APIs with flexible workflows and lightweight tooling
• Operate in an FDE-style capacity when needed, including investigating customer environments/tools and resolving customer-impacting issues cross-functionally
• Unblock yourself through independent discovery and communicate clearly on priorities, timelines, risks, and customer impact

Who You Are:

• A self-starter who thrives in ambiguity and can move forward without perfect requirements or detailed specs
• Resourceful and pragmatic - you gather context quickly, make reasonable assumptions, and unblock progress
• A creative problem solver who balances speed and quality when delivering customer-facing solutions
• Technical and systems-minded, with strong instincts for how components interact and where edge cases live
• Product-oriented and impact-driven - you care about shipping outcomes that work for real users and customers

Requirements:

• 2+ years of experience and strong working knowledge of Python, with experience using it to build and support production workflows and internal tools
• Strong systems thinking, including the ability to reason about data flows, integrations, edge cases, and failure modes
• Comfort working across APIs, data, and operational tooling to deliver reliable customer-facing functionality
• Ability to scope and drive delivery end-to-end: clarify requirements, define technical approach, and execute in ambiguity
• Strong cross-functional communicator with experience working in client-facing contexts

Nice to Have:

• Familiarity with SQL (or confidence picking it up quickly)
• Familiarity with Github and software development approach
• Experience debugging production issues or working in live customer environments
• Prior customer-facing technical experience (solutions, implementation, support, etc.)
• Exposure to Field / Forward-Deployed (FDE) style work and customer-stack investigation (e.g., CRMs/ERPs/Datawarehouses like Salesforce, Quickbooks, Snowflake)
• Advanced spreadsheet skills (Google Sheets / Excel) and/or familiarity with finance, accounting, or B2B operations workflows
