Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
This Software Engineer, AI/ML role stands out because it sits at the intersection of AI product delivery and the operational backbone of subscription businesses. Tabs is building an AI-native revenue platform aimed at finance and accounting workflows, a domain where SaaS companies increasingly compete on automation, data quality, and compliance readiness. With a 2023 founding date and clear signs of venture-backed momentum, the work appears oriented around shipping core capabilities rather than incremental maintenance.
For a SaaS-focused engineer, the role offers direct exposure to how AI features become product: taking concepts through release, integrating inference into user-facing workflows, and tying technical choices to measurable business outcomes. Experience here tends to translate across modern SaaS teams working on workflow automation, vertical software, and AI-assisted back office tooling, especially where reliability and auditability matter as much as model performance.
This role is likely best suited to engineers who prefer ownership over narrowly scoped tickets and who are comfortable operating close to product and leadership. It also fits candidates who want to deepen full stack craft while building real AI/ML functionality into production systems, particularly in an in-office environment where collaboration happens face to face.

What We Do
We are enabling the one person finance team…

The Job
We are putting together a tight team of innovative product engineers to join the AI team full stack. This is an in person role in New York City.
You will own building automation, AI, and ML features from concept, release, and integration into the product.

An interest and passion for AI/ML systems, if you haven’t had the opportunity at work to build AI/ML systems but have personal projects in the space we would love to hear about them.
We don’t care what stack you’ve built in the past, but you will be building with Python, Typescript, and NextJs (bonus points if this is already your stack)
Exceptions to the above requirements are made for candidates with exceptional stories. If this is you, we will consider you regardless of the guidelines above.
Our Phenotype

You are obsessed with building and have a clear track record of ownership and shipping highly creative, innovative works.
You are energized by working in-person with colleagues four or more days a week.
You are opinionated on how product should be built and know when to fight for your ideas (and when to dissent and commit)
When you see someone spilled coffee, you grab a mop.
We’re a NYC-based team working together in our Manhattan office.
