Senior Backend Engineer

All companies need to have a clear understanding of their financials to improve their cash performance. Yet, finance teams still rely on Excel to gather data from multiple bank accounts, making it difficult to see their cash positions, identify cash flow trends, and generate insights to help the business grow.

That's where Nilus comes in.

At Nilus, we're building a cash management platform for modern finance teams that provides real-time cash visibility, forecasting, and reconciliation - all powered by AI. Nilus is a fast-growing fintech startup backed by top VCs like Bessemer Venture Partners, Felicis, Better Tomorrow Ventures, and Symbol. We're all passionate about revolutionizing the role of finance teams today, and most of us - across engineering, sales, marketing, and product - come from previous roles at fintechs.

If you are passionate about simplifying complex problems, building things from the ground up, and working in an open, transparent, and collaborative startup culture then we would love to hear from you.
