Company Overview

At Puzzle, we’re not just building accounting software— we’re reimagining it. Our platform seamlessly integrates with modern fintech tools, offering founders and finance teams real‑time insight into their financial landscape. We empower entrepreneurs with the tools they need to make informed decisions and drive venture success.

What We’re Looking For

As a Staff Software Engineer , you’ll be at the heart of designing and building the scalable infrastructure that powers everything behind Puzzle. This hands‑on, high‑impact role involves shaping architecture, driving scalability, and ensuring reliability of core systems that support our product. You’ll work across the stack— from small feature development to engineering complex, large‑scale systems— while analyzing and troubleshooting critical systems, integrating new technologies, and creating tools that continuously improve our platform. Most importantly, you’ll help define how financial data is ingested, transformed, and surfaced as clear, trustworthy insights for thousands of companies.

This is a hybrid role based in the San Francisco Bay Area . We consider candidates who currently reside in the Bay Area or are open to relocating.

What You’ll Do

• Design and implement core infrastructure to support high‑availability, low‑latency systems and services at scale.
• Build and productize critical components of our financial system, laying the groundwork for a powerful yet intuitive solution.
• Continuously identify opportunities to improve performance, resilience, and developer velocity across our platform.
• Partner with product, design, and data teams to translate business needs into well‑defined technical implementations.
• Work cross‑functionally to troubleshoot complex systems and serve as a technical voice in navigating trade‑offs and prioritization.
• Craft technical solutions to high‑impact business challenges while staying attuned to broader company contexts.
• Guide and mentor other engineers through code reviews, pairing, and technical leadership— including onboarding and training as needed.
