Software Engineer (New Grad)
Hyphenate, New York City
What you will do
You won't get a starter ticket and a six-month ramp plan.
You'll join a pod of 2–3 engineers that owns a finance domain end-to-end—revenue, cash, close, reporting, payroll, fixed assets, tax, or controls—and you'll own real surface area inside it from your first month: context, prompts, tools, evals, guardrails, and the product around them. A senior engineer pairs with you closely at the start. The bar is that you're scoping and shipping your own work by the end of your first quarter.
No PM writes your specs. No architecture committee approves your ideas. You'll sit with the controllers, accountants, and CFOs who do the work today, understand it properly, then build the agent system that replaces it.
"New grad" is how you start here. It isn't a track, and it isn't a ceiling.
Problems worth your brain
- How do you build AI agents that finance teams and auditors can trust? Verification, guardrails, observability, and evaluation systems for non-deterministic AI.
