Finta

About Finta Finta is building the finance platform startups should have had from day one. Today, startup finance is fragmented. Bookkeeping lives in one place, taxes in another, reporting in spreadsheets, forecasting in someone’s head, and founders are left trying to piece together what is actually happening in the business. We want Finta to become the go-to solution for the entire finance function: accounting, taxes, financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and real-time insights, all in one place. We raised $2M from Y Combinator, Mercury’s CEO, and leaders at Mercury, Brex, and Ramp. Since launching in 2023, we have grown organically through word of mouth and now serve hundreds of paying customers. We are a small, high-caliber team with a bias for shipping. There are no layers here. You’ll work directly with Andy, the founder, and get close to customers, product, positioning, and GTM. This is a founding role where the scope can expand quickly if you earn trust. We work together in person 5 days a week in San Francisco, near the Ferry Building, and expect people to take ownership without needing a lot of structure. About the role We’re hiring a Community/Events Lead to build Finta’s presence inside the YC founder community. This is not a generic growth role. You will not be running paid ads, SEO, lifecycle campaigns, or broad demand gen. The core motion is simple: get the right YC founders in the room, create a great experience, build trust, and turn those relationships into customers, referrals, content, and long-term distribution. You’ll own the full loop: Host events for YC founders Take YC founders out to dinner Send targeted outbound emails to YC founders Partner with companies like Brex, Ramp, Mercury, Stripe, Rippling, Rho, Slash and others to co-host events Turn founder conversations into pipeline, content, referrals, and product feedback What you’ll do Host high-quality events for YC founders, including dinners, roundtables, office hours, happy hours, and tactical finance sessions Build targeted invite lists based on batch, stage, company type, funding status, and finance needs Write outbound emails that founders actually reply to Partner with startup ecosystem companies to co-host founder events Own event execution end to end: concept, guest list, venue, invites, reminders, run of show, experience, and follow-up Build real relationships with founders, not transactional lead-gen funnels Turn founder conversations into useful content, including event recaps, finance guides, social posts, partner content, and customer stories Track what matters: invites, replies, RSVPs, attendance, meetings booked, pipeline created, customers closed, and referrals generated Bring founder feedback back into product, positioning, and sales Build the playbook for how Finta grows through the startup ecosystem You’ll be a good fit if you Have experience in founder-facing GTM, events, partnerships, community, VC/platform, startup sales, or early-stage marketing Love being around startup founders and can quickly build trust in a room Can host a dinner, run a room, and make people feel like the event was worth their time Are excellent at written outreach Can write emails that feel personal, sharp, and not spammy Are commercial. You understand events should create trust, pipeline, customers, and referrals Are highly organized and can manage a lot of small details without dropping the ball Have taste. You care about venue, guest mix, conversation quality, timing, follow-up, and how Finta is perceived Can work independently in an ambiguous, early-stage environment Are excited to become deeply credible on startup finance, accounting, taxes, reporting, and forecasting Use AI tools to move faster, research better, personalize outreach, and run a tighter system You should not join Finta if You want to run paid ads, SEO, lifecycle marketing, or generic demand gen You want a role that is mostly strategy and not hands-on execution You think e

About Finta Have you tried renewing a driver’s license online? The site looks stuck in 2000, it is confusing and slow. That is how most accounting and tax software still feels. The space is crowded with sales teams who rely on fear to close deals, and the result is bad experiences justified by “compliance.” Finta is changing that. We automate bookkeeping, file taxes quickly and compliantly, and give companies real-time financial metrics. Our goal is simple: to remove the manual, tedious parts of finance so that smart people can focus on hard problems. We raised $2M from Y Combinator, Mercury’s CEO, leaders at Mercury, Brex, and Ramp. Since launching in 2023, we have grown organically through word of mouth and now serve hundreds of paying customers. See what they say at www.finta.com. Role We’re looking for a Founding Design Engineer to raise the bar on how Finta looks and feels. You’ll sit at the intersection of design and engineering, someone who obsesses over animation curves, spacing, and interaction details, and also ships production code. You won’t be designing in Figma and handing off specs. You’ll be designing in the browser, building the components and systems that make Finta feel like the best software our customers have ever used. This is a founding role. You’ll be one of the first people shaping how Finta feels, and you’ll have an outsized impact on the product, the brand, and the culture of craft at the company. Over time, you’ll have the opportunity to build and lead the design engineering function as we grow. What you’ll do Build and evolve Finta’s design system: the components, tokens, patterns, and motion language that everything is built on Ship polished, production-ready UI across product, marketing, and our website Create reusable building blocks like data tables, filters, navigation, loading states, animations, and interactive patterns Bring modern interaction design to a Rails codebase with fluid transitions, micro-interactions, and the kind of craft you see in tools like Linear, Cursor, and Vercel Explore what’s possible at the edge of UI in the age of AI: streaming interfaces, agent status patterns, real-time feedback, and new interaction paradigms Work directly with the CEO and engineering team to shape what we build and how it feels Set the quality bar for every pixel that ships Influence product direction, not just execution. You’ll have a voice in what we build, not just how it looks. You’ll be a good fit if you Have deep expertise in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. You think in the browser, not in abstractions. Have production experience with server-rendered stacks: Rails, Hotwire, Turbo, Stimulus, Tailwind, ViewComponent, or similar Obsess over details like animation timing, easing curves, hover states, spacing, and color. The things most people don’t notice but everyone feels. Use AI tools daily to move faster (Cursor, Claude, Conductor, or similar) and can show real examples of shipping with them Have a strong visual eye and design sensibility, even if your title has always been “engineer” Can point to work you’ve shipped that made people say “damn, this feels good” Ship fast and iterate. You’d rather put something real in front of users than polish a mockup. Are excited about being early. You want to define the standard, not follow one. Why join Design is at the heart of everything we do. This isn’t a company where engineering overrules design. You’ll define the design system and quality bar from the ground up Ship consequential work used by hundreds of startups Join a small, mission-driven team that values craft and user experience 10+ years of runway backed by top investors Real ownership and influence over product direction, architecture, and early hiring decisions Why you should not join Finta You prefer designing in Figma and handing off to engineers You think animations and micro-interactions are unnecessary polish You think trying new tools like Paper is a waste of your time You prefer
