Staff Engineer

You'll be the most senior engineer on the agents that run finance operations for our customers — designing, building, and operating the autonomous agents that handle accounts payable and receivable end-to-end. From invoice validation and dispute resolution to cross-company negotiation and cash optimization.

This is an individual-contributor role at the top of our ladder: no direct reports, full technical authority over the architecture the rest of the team builds on.

What you'll do

• Agent architecture — Design the multi-agent system: agent boundaries, event contracts, orchestration patterns, and the separation between LLM reasoning and deterministic enforcement. LLMs inform; rules enforce. You own where that line sits for every action that moves money, and the authorization gateway that makes it non-negotiable.

• Agentic dispute resolution — An agent that reads the claim, gathers the evidence from the PO, contract, and delivery record, forms a position, and works it to settlement — negotiating with the counterparty where that's appropriate, escalating to a human where it isn't. Deductions and short pays classified, tied to the underlying claim, and driven to resolution rather than parked in an aging bucket.

• Agentic dynamic discounting — Agents that continuously price early payment against the cash position on both sides of the transaction, propose terms, and execute them. Static payment terms become a negotiation that runs on its own.

• Matching and reconciliation — Three-way matching across purchase order, goods receipt, and invoice with configurable tolerances; cash application against bank statements and remittance advices, including partial payments and residuals; the exception paths that follow when any of it fails. Unglamorous but important: The foundation everything agentic sits on.

• Validation & anomaly detection — Business rule checks, duplicate and near-duplicate detection, pricing discrepancy detection, and anomaly detection across time. Precision matters as much as recall here: a false positive is a blocked supplier and an angry procurement lead.

• Integration framework — ERP systems first and deepest, then banking APIs, accounting platforms, Gmail, Drive, and Slack. Auth model, credential lifecycle, data normalization. Today each connector is a project; you make the next one a configuration.

• Compliance & security — Agents operate within a zero-trust model. You'll design how agents verify independently against source data, how outb
