Full job description

About Peregrine

Most accounting firms are still built around people performing repetitive work.

Peregrine is building the AI-native accounting firm.

We are replacing traditional accounting production teams with autonomous agent systems that perform bookkeeping, tax preparation, document processing, reconciliation, workpaper generation, and client workflows. Human professionals become supervisors, reviewers, and advisors rather than preparers.

Our operating model is simple:

One Operator manages 200+ clients
AI performs production work
CPAs review exceptions and final outputs
Client Partners focus on relationships and advisory

The result is a fundamentally different firm with dramatically higher leverage, margins, and client capacity.

We’re looking for our Founding Engineer to architect and build the technology platform that makes this possible.

The Opportunity

This is not a feature development role.

You will be the technical co-builder of a new category: the AI-native accounting firm.

You will work directly with the founder to design and implement:

Multi-agent accounting workflows
Autonomous bookkeeping systems
AI tax preparation pipelines
Human-in-the-loop review systems
Agent orchestration infrastructure
Internal operating systems for firm operations
Future client-facing AI experiences

You will own architecture decisions from day one and help define the technical DNA of the company.

What You’ll Build

Agent Operating System

Build the orchestration layer that manages:

Agent routing
Workflow execution
Task queues
Escalation paths
Human approvals
Confidence scoring

AI Bookkeeping Platform

Build systems that automate:

Bank transaction categorization
Bill capture
Statement ingestion
Reconciliation
Reporting
Exception management

AI Tax Platform

Build systems that automate:

Document collection
Tax document classification
Workpaper creation
Return preparation
CPA review workflows
Filing pipelines

Internal Firm OS

Build the operating system that enables:

Operators
Principals
Client Partners

to manage hundreds of clients simultaneously through AI supervision rather than manual execution.

What We’re Looking For

Must Have

5+ years software engineering experience
Experience building production AI systems
Strong Python expertise
Strong TypeScript expertise
Experience with modern LLM frameworks
Experience deploying cloud-native systems
Strong system design skills
Comfort working in ambiguity

Strongly Preferred

Multi-agent system experience
LangGraph, Temporal, CrewAI, OpenAI Agents SDK, or similar
RAG architecture experience
Workflow automation experience
Fintech experience
Accounting or tax technology exposure
Startup experience (Seed to Series A)

Bonus Points

CPA, accounting, or finance background
Experience building internal operational software
Experience working directly with founders
Previous founding engineer experience

Technology Stack (Likely)

We’re tool-agnostic and will choose the best architecture together, but experience with the following is valuable:

Python
TypeScript
Next.js
Postgres
Supabase
Temporal
LangGraph
OpenAI APIs
Anthropic APIs
AWS
Docker
Vector databases

What Success Looks Like

Within 12 months:

Agent systems handling the majority of bookkeeping production
Tax workflows operating with minimal human intervention
Operators managing 200+ clients each
Firm margins significantly exceeding traditional accounting firms
Core technology moat established

Within 3 years:

The operating system powering one of the most efficient accounting firms in North America

Why Join

Massive Surface Area

This is not a narrow product role. You’ll influence:

Product
Engineering
AI architecture
Operations
Firm design

Ownership

You’ll be one of the first hires and have direct influence over company direction.

Equity

We expect this person to think and act like an owner. Compensation includes meaningful equity.

AI-First Culture

We’re not adding AI to an existing business.

We’re building the business around AI from day one.

Pay: $55,000.00-$80,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Dental care
Stock options
Vision care
Wellness program
Work from home

Work Location: Remote
