Software Engineer - Frontend

Nobody went into accounting to spend the first week of every month matching transactions by hand. Maxima was built so they don't have to. Our agents do the accounting work itself: journal entries, transaction matching, reconciliations, and flux analysis, in real time and to SOX standards. Accountants review and approve. Nothing posts without a person signing off. We remove the grind, not the human.
Maxima is the first agentic AI platform for enterprise accounting. Our founders oversaw the finance org at Rubrik and built the month-end close systems at Twitter and Netflix. We've raised $41M from Redpoint Ventures, Kleiner Perkins, and Audacious Ventures, and we're backed by finance leaders at OpenAI, Rubrik, and Vanta. Maxima runs in production at Scale AI, Rippling, Glean, and SpotOn.
We are early, we are growing fast, and we are hiring people who would rather build the category than join it. Here is one way to do that.

We are working on some of the hardest problems in enterprise automation, with an engineering team that includes staff-level talent from Robinhood, Glean, Google, Netflix, and Meta. The system handles high-volume financial data and complex accounting workflows, and every execution has to be accurate and reliable, because the output is a company's books.

As a frontend engineer at Maxima, you will build intuitive interfaces for advanced accounting workflows, working closely with product, design, and backend engineers, and sometimes directly with customers to get new features out the door. You will help lay the design foundations for an AI-native enterprise accounting platform, with real ownership and real influence over where the product goes. We value engineers who care about the user as much as the code.

• Build intuitive user interfaces for advanced accounting workflows

• Build the design foundations for an AI-native enterprise accounting platform

• Work closely with product, design, and backend engineers

• Work directly with customers to drive the release of new features
  

• 2 or more years building product at high-growth companies

• Strong experience with TypeScript, React, Redux, or similar frameworks

• Strong understanding of React lifecycles and rendering

• Familiarity with web development and relational databases

• Good product and user experience sense
  

This role is based in our San Mateo office. We value in-person collaboration and are in office four to five days a week for our on-site roles.

• The work. Agentic accounting is a category being defined right now, and Maxima is one of the companies defining it. The product does the accounting work itself, so what you build, sell, or deploy shows up in a customer's books

• The people. Founders who ran the finance org at Rubrik and built the close systems at Twitter and Netflix. Engineers from Robinhood, Glean, Google, Netflix, and Meta. Controllers and accountants on the team who have closed books themselves. Small teams in San Mateo and Toronto that work in the same room, say what they think, and hold a high bar

• The benefits. Competitive salary, 401(k) for US employees, unlimited PTO, lunch in the office, and commuter benefits

• The process. A person reads every application, and we tell you where you stand at every stage
  

A note on AI

We build AI and we expect you to use it. Use it to research us and to prepare. In live conversations we want your own thinking in your own words, and if you use AI on a take-home exercise, tell us where it helped.
