The self-employed workforce is a rapidly growing, resilient, and colorful 60 million Americans. But self-employment comes with its own set of challenges: navigating taxes, accounting, bookkeeping, and business banking are just a few. That’s where we come in.
Found is building tools that give self-employed people the security and peace of mind that has historically only been possible at big corporations. We’re a business bank account that automates taxes and expense tracking because we believe small business owners should spend more time doing what they love and less time on their business finances.
We’re looking for kind, resourceful, and passionate people to join us in building the safety net for self-employment.
About this role:
Our engineering team is responsible for taking products from ideation to being used by tens of thousands of users every week. We're responsible for everything from building the product to reliable and performant technical operations.

All this, while setting a high bar for simplicity, code quality and operations. If you have any questions please include them in your application.
Day to day, you will:
Collaborate with product engineering, risk operations, and other cross-functional teams to build and ship products.
Have ownership across a large breadth of surfaces - frontend systems, batch and stream data processing pipelines, and backend services.

What We Do
Found is on a mission to make self-employment easier. With business banking and smart, simple financial tools, we help people seamlessly run their own businesses. With over half the U.S. workforce predicted to be self-employed by 2027, we’re proud to be meeting a real and growing need.
Self-employment can be infinitely rewarding, but it comes with a host of challenges. When you are your business, even when the job is done, there’s still a ton of work to do—from bookkeeping to invoicing to taxes. The independence of entrepreneurship can instead feel like a maze of paperwork. That’s where we can help.
Found automatically tracks expenses, estimates taxes, and keeps the books organized, all from one easy app. With a Found account, everything from business banking to invoicing to reporting is at your fingertips. In the words of one of our members, “it has given me so much financial freedom and free time.”
We’re driven by our mission and we work in support of entrepreneurship, independence, and the sheer joy of loving what you do. Come love what you do at Found.
