Senior AI/ML Engineer - Finance

Company Details

Kudwa is a venture‑backed San Francisco startup on a mission to make sophisticated finance capabilities available to every business—not just the Fortune 500. Powered by an AI Finance Manager, we’re eliminating tedious spreadsheets and late‑night reconciliations so founders can focus on growth.

We’re a fully remote team, highly dynamic and a bit crazy as we dream of disrupting the finance industry. We speak regularly but value autonomous work and full ownership.
