Description
About Preql
Preql is building the AI-powered financial data platform for the modern enterprise. We're developing agentic AI workflows that help finance teams clean, transform, and structure their data without writing code. Think "Lovable.com http://Lovable.com for data pipelines" - just as website builders help users refine ideas into working apps, Preql helps users refine messy, fragmented financial data into production-ready workflows using natural language.
Our customers include media companies, media networks, retailers, and manufacturers who need reliable metrics and automated reporting. The company is backed by tier 1 venture firms and previous data company founders.
THE ROLE
We're seeking a Software Engineer to build our user-facing AI services. Working with the lead Product Manager and technical leadership, you'll make AI-powered data transformation accessible to finance teams.
What You'll Build:
- Web applications that make AI-powered data transformation feel as simple as having a conversation while LLMs build the requisite complexity to codify the magic
- Interactive workflows where users can refine data cleaning through natural language feedback
- Integration interfaces for Excel, CSV, and financial systems like NetSuite and QuickBooks
- Audit dashboards that show transformation logic in terms finance teams understand
- API integrations that connect various financial data sources and export formats
Key Responsibilities:
- Build and iterate on web interfaces based on product specifications and user feedback
- Develop full-stack features from frontend UI to backend API integration
- Implement integrations with financial data sources and third-party systems
- Create reporting tools and dashboards that meet enterprise audit requirements
- Participate in customer demos to understand user needs and gather technical feedback
- Collaborate with technical leadership on architecture and implementation decisions
REQUIREMENTS
Technical Foundation:
- 4+ years building production web applications with modern frameworks (Typescript, Python, etc.)
- Strong backend or full stack development experience
- Experience with API development and third-party integrations
- Understanding of databases, data processing, and common data formats (CSV, JSON, Excel)
- Experience taking products from development to production deployment
Engineering Practices:
- Comfortable with agile development and working from product specifications
- Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and modern deployment practices
- Understanding of security best practices for enterprise software
- Ability to write maintainable, well-tested code with proper documentation
Collaboration Style:
- Comfortable working with product managers to understand requirements and user needs
- Ability to participate in customer conversations and translate feedback into technical solutions
- Experience working with technical leadership while owning implementation details
STRONG ADVANTAGES
Nice-to-haves, but not strict requirements.
- Active Experimentation with LLM-based code-gen tools: Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, etc. (n.b., we understand the many, many limitations of these tools; but, also appreciate where they can save time and enable focus on more important, higher-order challenges)
- Data/Analytics Experience: Previous work with data processing, ETL pipelines, or analytics platforms
- AI/ML Integration: Experience and/or demonstrable interest in working with and deploying LLM APIs, machine learning models, or AI-powered features
- Enterprise Software: Understanding of enterprise requirements like audit trails, compliance, and security
- Financial Systems: Familiarity with accounting software, ERP systems, or financial data workflows
- Customer-Facing Experience: Background in customer demos, technical sales, or user support
