Tabs is the leading AI-native revenue platform for modern finance and accounting teams. Tabs agents automates 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.
Revenue recognition is perhaps one of the hardest domains in software. Itâs full of gnarly edge cases, temporal complexity and legacy decisions that canât be undone.
The Tabs Revenue team builds the systems that turn contracts and usage into revenue reporting that users can trust- ARR, GAAP-compliant rev rec, deferred and unbilled balances, journal entries- all enforced by mathematical invariants. Down to the penny, across time, under audit.
Nailing rev rec is existential to the success of Tabs. Weâre hiring an engineer who wants to own real systems, not just shuffle tickets across the finish line. Someone who enjoys untangling ambiguity, respects the domain of accounting and is energized by complexity.
Here are examples of real projects engineers on the Revenue team have owned recently:
Revenue recognition architecture: Built a system where invoice amounts, recognized revenue and accounting entries stay in sync through service-level constraints
Historical revenue import: Built CSV upload pipeline that validates, transforms and inserts pre-platform data, then combines it with current data in reports
Month-end close workflow: Built a new experience that validates invoices, reconciles payments, calculates revenue movement and generates journal entries ready for ERP sync
Optimized revenue reporting: Built queries that combine historical imports with current data, support multi-currency, and render annual reports in record time for our most data-heavy customers
Credit memos: Built a credit memo system that works across multiple ERPs, including robust rollback logic and error surfacing
Youâll work across backend services, data models, APIs and frontend services. Youâll partner closely with Product and Design- quick deskside sessions abound at Tabs! Youâre expected to bring opinions to the meetings you join, not just take notes.
Youâll thrive at Tabs if you:
Enjoy owning systems end-to-end, from first design doc to fixing production edge cases weeks later
Care deeply about correctness and long-term maintainability
Are curious about domains you donât already understand, and are willing to sit with discomfort while you learn
Can disagree respectfully, explain your reasoning and change your mind when the data says you should
Weâre optimizing for excellent engineers who are good teammates.
Exact years of experience
Whether youâre âfrontendâ or âbackendâ by title
Whether youâve worked in fintech before
Whether you know what Deferred Revenue is
If youâve built scalable systems, shipped real software and learned from breaking prod a time or two, we want to talk.
Our core values show up in how we work:
Respect the Domain
We donât shy away from accounting complexity. We dig into the details to build features the right way - even if that means combing through PWCâs revenue recognition guidance on a weekend.
Stay Customer-Centric
If accounting teams canât trust the numbers we produce, nothing else matters. Engineers join customer calls when itâs useful and stay in close touch with Support and Success to understand what customers actually need. We put wireframes in front of real users, get feedback directly from accountants and cut processes that slow us down. You wonât hear âthatâs not my jobâ here; we step in and help where itâs needed.
Innovate In-Person
This is an in-office role. We believe hard problems are solved faster together. This comes with perks like weekly happy hours, chess tournaments, soccer leagues, quarterly hackathons and more whiteboards than employees đ
Build the Best Vision
Weâre not copying incumbents; weâre rethinking how accounting systems should work from first principles. We get bright people into a room, debate intensely, disagree, commit and execute with urgency. If we make the âwrongâ decision, we pivot quickly and ego-less-ly, document our learnings and move on. We operate in one-week sprints so we can adapt when new information surfaces.
Do What You Say
We value clear ownership and follow-through. Engineers who consistently deliver earn trust quickly and see their scope expand fast- not through politics, but by doing what they said they would do. In other words, weâre looking for drivers, not passengers.
Grow from Discomfort
This work is hard because we challenge ourselves to ship killer products on tight deadlines. Maybe you will be asked to deliver a feature in half the time you budgeted. Maybe you will need to build a novel frontend experience, even though youâve been a backend engineer for years. Maybe you will write a technical doc on how to re-architect our reporting backend, 3 years out of school. (All real examples, btw). Weâve learned there are two reactions to this kind of work: âoh s***â and âlooks fun, when can I start?â Weâre building a team of the second kind. Thatâs where the growth is.
We share our wins and our mistakes. A few recent blog posts from the team:

If youâre excited by hard problems, care about correctness and want to work with people who are sharp and kind, weâd love to hear from you. If youâre looking for a chill role where you can push some Linear tickets across the board and clock out⌠this probably isnât it đ
