Senior Product Engineer (Backend) - NYC

If you join Sequence, you'll help build the platform that lets companies get paid - we’re already processing $1bn+ in annual invoice volume and growing fast.

We're building the AI-powered revenue platform for modern finance teams, replacing fragile spreadsheets and legacy systems with software their teams love using.

Cognition, incident.io, MoonPay, and 100+ other high-growth companies trust us to handle their entire revenue cycle across quoting, billing, and revenue recognition.

Founded by repeat entrepreneurs, we hit 10x ARR growth last year and just closed a $20M Series A led by 645 Ventures, alongside a16z and exceptional founders and CFOs from companies like Decagon, Klaviyo and Wise.

Small team, big opportunity, real ownership. You'll do work that matters, have direct access to customers, and grow alongside the company.

If you want to do the best work of your career at a company that's scaling fast, we'd love to meet you.

We care deeply about the quality of the product we're building. We're looking for engineers who are ambitious and take ownership end-to-end: from identifying what to build, through shipping, to making sure it works for real customers.

Here’s what you might work on:

• →

  We're a small team moving fast on hard problems. That might not be a fit if you:

  • →

    Enjoy larger organisation structures and staying only within your area of expertise. Taking ownership here means doing whatever the problem needs

  • →

    Want a traditional engineering team set up, with a predictable roadmap and clearly scoped out tickets provided for you

  • →

    Prefer a slower pace. Customers are depending on what we ship

  • →

    Aren't comfortable with production responsibility. We're revenue-critical infrastructure - on-call matters here

We hire for ability, not a specific tech stack. Most of the team learned Kotlin here:

We move fast - typically 2 weeks start to finish. We've written a detailed blog post about the process with tips for how to prepare.
