Funded by some of the world’s top VCs, DualEntry is building the future of enterprise accounting software.

Our Founders:

• Our Founders started their previous company after meeting while coding in Computer Science class. With just $2,000 in savings, the two bootstrapped their first company to $25 million in ARR - and profitably - in just 5 years.
• They then raised $325 million of venture funding, rapidly scaling the business to 250+ people, >$100 million in ARR and an exit.
• With DualEntry, they have now decided to tackle their biggest pain point from their first 8-year journey of entrepreneurship: outdated accounting systems.
• Our Founders have been featured in Forbes, Inc. Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, and multiple podcasts incl. the Tim Ferris Show with over 2+ million downloads to their episode.

About DualEntry:

We’re a well-funded, pre-launch company bringing AI to accounting software:

• With 75% of CPAs retiring soon and fewer entering the field, accounting needs a modern solution. The current accounting software is outdated, overpriced, and inefficient, burdened by manual processes.
• DualEntry is an AI-native platform that automates accounting workflows, integrates seamlessly with top-tier software, and supports multi-company and multi-currency operations.
• Built by former CPAs and backed by leaders from NetSuite, Xero, and Sage, our audit-ready platform is designed to transform the future of accounting.

What You Bring:

• 8+ yrs of total backend software development experience incl. testing
• Experience managing long-term software development complexity in a business-logic heavy project
• Experience launching products from start to finish (incl. building CI/CD)
• Experience with building and testing APIs
• Experience with database management systems, SQL, ORMs, and data migrations
• Experience integrating with various 3rd-party, preventing negative outcomes and managing unexpected risks
• Experience deploying AWS (or similar) cloud services
• Willingness to work hard and ship product at high velocity, especially on Fridays
• Experience in one more more programming languages (we are agnostic to your language experience)

How You Operate:

• Pragmatic: you like to move forward and make decisions based in reality (not theory). We don't debate if Cassandra has the most theoretical scalability -- we use Postgres until it breaks
• Hard working: 'You can work long, hard, or smart, but [here] you can't choose two out of three" - Jeff Bezos. We wrote this job post during the weekend
• High speed: we deploy to production at least once a day and constantly strive to move faster. We take full ownership for our work and commit all-in
• Curious: you love to learn, are highly curious about new frameworks and solutions to engineering problems
