Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
This Software Engineer, AI/ML role stands out because it sits at the intersection of two durable SaaS currents: AI-native product development and finance operations software. Tabs is building automation across the contract-to-cash lifecycle, a domain where SaaS products win through reliability, auditability, and tight integration with customer workflows, not just model performance. The combination of billing, collections, and revenue recognition also signals a product surface area that touches core systems of record.
For a long-term SaaS career, the work maps to skills that compound across many categories: taking ambiguous customer problems, turning them into shipped product, and operating those features in production. Experience delivering AI/ML inference to end users tends to build fluency in data and model lifecycle tradeoffs, while full stack ownership strengthens the ability to connect UX, APIs, and backend constraints. Exposure to compliance-oriented workflows like ASC 606 can also deepen understanding of how SaaS products earn trust in regulated or finance-adjacent environments.
This role fits engineers who prefer high ownership, greenfield problem spaces, and close iteration with product leadership. It will suit someone motivated by shipping end-to-end features and refining them based on real usage, particularly in an in-office setting where collaboration is a daily default.

Job Description
Tabs is the leading AI-native revenue platform for modern finance and accounting teams. Tabs agents automate the entire contract-to-cash lifecycle, including billing, collections, revenue recognition, and reporting, to help teams eliminate manual work and accelerate cash flow.
High-growth companies like Cursor and Statsig rely on Tabs to generate invoices directly from contracts, reconcile payments in real time, and automate ASC 606 compliance.
Founded in 2023, Tabs has raised over $91 million from Lightspeed Venture Partners, General Catalyst, and Primary. The team is headquartered in New York and brings deep expertise in finance and AI.
What We Do
We are enabling the one person finance team…
Artificial intelligence products that automate operational management of accounting, communications, and reporting. Finance leaders shouldn’t worry about updating new points of contacts for an invoice; our systems enable them to deliver strategy and vision to their business.
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.
We are looking beyond pattern matching, this isn’t a solved problem and we are looking for engineers who will generate new insights and solutions.
You will work closely with company leadership and the founding team to deliver high impact projects with direct impact on market positioning of the business.
Who You Are
Proven ability to build green field products, get it 80% right, and learn from the missing 20%.
Experience taking ownership of projects and driving them through to completion
3-5 years of full stack experience in engineering that directly impacts the delivery of product and features to users
1+ year of experience on products that deliver AI/ML inference to end users. Can be anywhere in that lifecycle, from training machine learning systems, to creating the interfaces users use to navigate inference results.
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
We are not looking for people who like to coast or shop offers for value. We are looking for gunners who are attracted to non-traditional success. A specific type of person does well here:
You pride yourself on grit and creativity though you know you may not be the smartest in the room.
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.
Even if you don’t meet 100% of the qualifications, we encourage you to apply. We care most about curiosity, craft, and drive.
