Our mission is to build a superhuman AI financial modelling agent for every executive in the world.
Financial models underpin every important decision a company makes. The process of building them today is broken - financial modelling is, by far, the worst-tooled form of programming. We think there is a $100bn+ opportunity to fix that - think of us as Cursor for financial models.

* Maintain design consistency and quality as we expand across platforms and user groups.
* Identify and resolve gaps between design vision and engineering execution, elevating our product’s overall user experience.
* Innovate interaction patterns for AI-driven financial modelling tools solving entirely new UX challenges.

* You’ll be at the forefront of inventing new interactions for cutting-edge, AI-powered financial modelling, pioneering experiences that currently have no established playbook.
* Collaborate closely with our exceptional founding team, including our CEO, CPO and CTO, who deeply value exceptional product quality and will empower you to deliver remarkable user experiences.
