AI-focused Senior Software Engineer (path to Staff Engineer)

Job Description

The Tight Embedded Accounting HQ is in Washington, DC, in the renowned Dupont Circle neighborhood, directly across the street from the Dupont Circle Metro Station. We are in our high-energy office 5 days a week, and we’re looking to bring on an A+ Engineering contributor who embraces the opportunity to collaborate with high-trajectory, AI-native teammates in our HQ. Tight's product is growing at a rapid pace, with a recently revamped (and debt-free) architecture focused on LLM use cases for the future of Agentic Accounting. We’re looking for a teammate who not only embraces the growth but also is excited by the amount of change that comes with that growth.

Many financial technology (FinTech) platforms are building products that leverage Tight's Embedded Accounting MCP Server, UIs, APIs and SDKs; over 1.3M users are leveraging said products. Tight's team aids these FinTechs in how to leverage its MCP Tools, Embedded UI, APIs and SDKs to build these products. Tight's Customer Partnerships team interfaces directly with the FinTech's product/engineering teams, soliciting and obtaining critical product feedback that drives the direction of Tight’s products.

As a product-led organization, 80% of Tight’s team is composed of engineers, with a rich and ever-evolving AI-centric toolkit.

If you're interested in going all in on AI but your current employer is holding you back, this is the role for you!
