Software Engineer

Build the future of business analysis We are disrupting the consulting industry with hirable AI analysts for strategy and corporate finance work, starting with Excel - where half the work happens. Already used by professionals at BCG, Nordover Capital, Insead, Harvard, Explore, Arkwright, Connaught, and Placepoint. Technical Team Our technical team builds the core systems, infrastructure, and data pipelines that power our autonomous, agentic AI system for strategy and corporate finance workflows. We transform human analyst and consultant workflows into secure, scalable, and intuitive AI tools that operate directly inside Excel, enabling clients to move faster and smarter. The ideal candidate has strong fundamentals, a bias to ship, and an eye for detail. You care about real user problems, own outcomes end-to-end, and collaborate tightly with the Growth team to turn feedback into product. We’re backed by Y Combinator and have raised 55M NOK in seed funding. After months in San Francisco, we’re now building our core engineering team out of Oslo and New York – and we’re hiring the senior engineers who will shape the core of our product, stack and team. Why Crunched can win Large AI platforms like Anthropic are serious competitors. Crunched is different because we build deeply for the top 1–2% of Excel power users and their highly specific workflows. In every direct customer evaluation against competing products so far, Crunched has won on quality. First Round heard pitches from 75 AI-for-Excel startups over the past year - and chose to invest in Crunched.
