About the role

We are seeking a Staff Product Engineer to join Artifact at a pivotal moment – as we scale our AI-native platform across some of the world's largest accounting firms. You will sit at the intersection of complex financial data, a gentic AI, and the enterprise-grade systems that the accounting industry has relied on for decades. This is not a role for someone who wants to specialise narrowly. You will own meani ngful surface area end-to-end, from database schemas to the front-end component a client clicks on a Tuesday, moving into the AI layer, the infra, or wherever the problem actually lives.

The accounting domain has resisted automation for 500 years because of its complexity, its fragmentation, and the rigour it demands. Xero and Intuit have barely moved the needle. We are building something more ambitious – agentic workflows that sit on top of ERP systems like Workday and SAP, automate the high-volume, low-value work that consumes accountants' time, and give firms the capacity to take on more clients and do more meaningful work for the ones they have. The engineers who thrive here understand that domain depth and technical craft are not separate things – they are the same thing applied at different levels of the stack.

Key Responsibilities

Own and ship product features end-to-end across the full stack – backend (Python, async, distributed systems) as the home base, with movement into AI, front end, and infra as the work demands
Design and build reliable, high-quality systems with a strong emphasis on system design and production-grade engineering
Integrate with and build on top of complex ERP and HCM systems (Workday, SAP, and similar) and financial data pipelines
Develop configurable data extraction and ingestion workflows to handle the diverse and often non-standard data formats that come with enterprise accounting environments
Build and iterate on AI-powered agentic workflows in close collaboration with AI engineers, contributing to the intelligence layer when the problem calls for it

Artifact is rebuilding accounting from the ground up. Not incrementally improving the software – rebuilding the work itself, so one accountant can do what a team used to do and a set of books closes itself in the background while a human stays in the loop.

Two products do the heavy lifting. Arti handles the core accounting workflow – ingestion, matching, reconciliation, and journal posting. Omni sits on top of 600+ platforms and lets accounting firms build agentic workflows in natural language, capturing their expertise and operationalising it at scale. Together they are not a productivity tool – they are a new layer of infrastructure for how accounting work actually gets done.

The firms using Artifact today are not experimenting. They are running their clients' month-end on it. Backed by a16z and based in London and New York, Artifact is at the point where the technology is proven, the clients are real, and growth is about to bend sharply. The people joining now will shape what that looks like.
