About the role Mission: IronLedger is reducing the cost to manage housing, starting with automated accounting. Problem: Hiring accountants is expensive ($100K+ annually) and the market is already facing a shortage back-office workers (75% of CPAs are retiring in the next 8 years and property manager turnover is ~30% annually).

You will primarily focus on full stack development, but can wear many hats. This may include flying with our team to customers, listening to feedback directly and designing your own product UI/UX As we grow, this role will transition into IronLedger’s Head of Engineering. What we’re looking for: 2+ years of software development with demonstrated experience building applications with foundational models, Vector DBs and AI agent frameworks Key Skills: AWS, NextJs, Python, experience with Vector DBs, prompt engineering, and deploying agents into production (nice to have) Energized by creating magical, near-perfect customer experiences that users love Deploy high quality code quickly and are excited to iterate to get closer to perfection An appreciation and curiosity for the “boring”, fundamental and complex problems like accounting and property management workflows. Dirty jobs!

We are a small, flat team that enjoys lunches and dinners together, provides ~2 days of remote work per week, and will travel across the country with you to both serve customers, grind and relax! Current team interests include UFC, pickling, finding the best Thai food in NYC and celebratory cigars Location: The role will be based out of IronLedger's office in New York City.
