Finto is on a mission to reinvent how enterprises run their finance operations. Starting with AI-powered automation for accounts
payable, we eliminate manual invoice handling, supplier chasing, 3-Way-Matching and ERP data entry. Backed by Y Combinator, we’re
building the future of enterprise accounting.
Our mission is to free the world’s finance teams from repetitive, low-value tasks so they can focus on impactful work. That starts
with building a place where everyone can do their best work. Whether you’re building on our platform, partnering with our
customers, or shaping our story: We just make things finance teams want.
We’re looking for a founding Solution Engineer to join our founding team and lead the adoption of Finto’s AI-powered automation
for some of the world’s largest enterprises. You’ll be the trusted partner guiding finance teams through onboarding, integration,
and - most importantly - putting AI directly into their hands so they can radically reduce manual work and unlock new levels of
productivity.
This is not a typical customer success role - its a technical, customer-facing role. You’ll focus on the time to value including
data-set-up, workflow design, and change management. You’ll work closely with our founders to make sure customers embrace AI as a
core part of their daily job.
We’re headquartered in Munich, with roots in San Francisco through Y Combinator.

ABOUT FINTO Finto is on a mission to reinvent how enterprises run their finance operations. Starting with AI-powered automation for accounts payable, we eliminate manual invoice handling, supplier chasing, 3-Way-Matching and ERP data entry. Backed by Y Combinator, we're building the future of enterprise accounting. Our mission is to free the world's finance teams from repetitive, low-value tasks so they can focus on impactful work. That starts with building a place where everyone can do their best work. Whether you're building on our platform, partnering with our customers, or shaping our story: We just make things finance teams want. ABOUT THE ROLE We are hiring an Entrepreneur in Residence to work directly with our CTO. You will take ownership of important, loosely defined problems and deliver results. Your initial focus will be customer integrations and solution engineering. You will lead strategic customer initiatives, translate recurring needs into product direction, and help reduce the time our CTO spends on solution scoping. As you prove ownership, your scope can expand into product discovery, internal engineering, or AI adoption. This is a hands-on role. You will build, investigate, make decisions, and follow through. It is not a support or project-management position. WHAT YOU’LL DO Lead strategic customer initiatives Own important customer engagements from discovery through delivery. Join technical conversations, clarify requirements, and act as the CTO’s delegate where agreed. Turn recurring customer needs into clear input for the product roadmap. Drive product and technical discovery Turn open questions into specifications and prototypes. Evaluate whether we should build, buy, or integrate. Research technical options and recommend a clear course of action. Improve how our engineers work Remove friction from onboarding, permissions, tooling, and internal infrastructure. Build secure, self-service workflows that help engineers work effectively. Lead practical AI adoption Test new AI tools and workflows across Finto. Measure whether they improve speed or quality, train the team on useful applications, and introduce appropriate guardrails. Your priorities will change as the company changes. One week you may scope an ERP integration. The next, you may prototype a product idea or improve an internal workflow. WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR * You have built something from scratch and taken responsibility for the outcome. * You are comfortable working through ambiguity without waiting for detailed instructions. * You can understand software architecture, build prototypes, and work with modern AI and LLM tools. * You are familiar with Node.js, TypeScript, and integration-heavy systems. * You have worked at startup speed, whether as a founder, early engineer, forward-deployed engineer, or in a Founder’s Office or Chief of Staff role. * You communicate clearly in German and English. * You want to take on more responsibility as you grow. Experience with ERP integrations, fintech, developer tooling, or customer-facing technical work is helpful but not required. WORKING AT FINTO * Work with the founders on problems that directly affect customers and the company. * Take ownership early. Your scope will grow with the results you deliver. * Join our in-office team in Munich five days per week. * Receive 25 vacation days and two company-wide recharge days. * Build relationships through Finto’s Y Combinator and San Francisco network. INTERVIEW PROCESS 1. Introductory call: 20 minutes with our CEO 2. Technical call: 30 minutes with our CTO 3. Working session: 90-minute technical challenge 4. Culture interview with our CPO 5.
