Maxima • San Mateo, CA

About The Position

We are working on some of the hardest problems in enterprise automation, with an engineering team that includes staff-level talent from Robinhood, Glean, Google, Netflix, and Meta. The system handles high-volume financial data and complex accounting workflows, and every execution has to be accurate and reliable, because the output is a company's books.
As an AI Engineer at Maxima, you will work where AI systems and product meet, building the agentic workflows behind enterprise accounting automation. This is not pure research or modeling. The job is turning modern AI capabilities into reliable, production-ready systems that customers use every day, in financial workflows where reliability is not optional.
You will work closely with product, design, and engineering to ship end-to-end features, and you will help shape how AI is developed, tested, and deployed across the company. We value engineers who are pragmatic, product-minded, and excited to take AI systems from experimentation into dependable production.
