High-growth companies like Cursor and Statsig rely on Tabs to generate invoices directly from contracts, reconcile payments in real time, and automate ASC 606 compliance. Founded in 2023, Tabs has raised over $91 million from Lightspeed Venture Partners, General Catalyst, and Primary. The team is headquartered in New York and brings deep expertise in finance and AI. About The Role Tabs is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Platform team, reporting to the engineering leader who owns platform and infrastructure. Your customers are the engineers around you. The work is measured by a single question: can the rest of engineering ship faster because of what you built? Platform at Tabs is deliberately understated. We are the first and last line of defense — the layer that makes deploys boring, failures legible, and the path from commit to production short. What you'll experience is real leverage: every improvement you make compounds across every team. You'll own the foundation every other engineer builds on: build systems, CI/CD, infrastructure, developer tooling, dev containers, and the API infrastructure and standards teams build against. A lot of this work lives outside any product roadmap. It's ours to define, and we set the bar for the rest of engineering. You'll also help shape what's next, like the internal platform-as-a-service we're planning to build. All of it supports a product that runs the contract-to-cash lifecycle for high-growth companies, where reliability is measured in real money. We move on two-week cycles, and the platform keeps up. How We Operate We work hard. Two-week sprints, weekly ship goals, short feedback cycles. Built around intra-month product releases.We work smart. Get in front of the other engineering teams, use both data and customer feedback to drive decisions, while keeping the bigger picture in mind.We work together. In-office culture with people you want to work with. Lots of whiteboard space. Expense coffee, lunch, and dinner when in the office.
