Tight's product is growing at a rapid pace, with a recently revamped (and debt-free) architecture focused on React Components and LLM use cases for the future of Agentic Accounting. We’re looking for a teammate who not only embraces the growth but also is excited by the amount of change that comes with that growth.

Many financial technology (FinTech) platforms are building products that leverage Tight's Embedded Accounting MCP Server, UIs, APIs and SDKs; over 1.3M users are leveraging said products. This role is focused on Tight's Embeddable React Components. Our front-end frameworks include TypeScript, React, Vite, Panda, TanStack Query, Zustand, Zod, Vitest, and other modern tooling.

As a product-led organization, 80% of Tight’s team is composed of engineers, with a rich and ever-evolving AI-centric toolkit.

If you're interested in going all in on AI but your current employer is holding you back, this is the role for you!
