Careers at Monk | Join the Future of Finance Automation

Few things in life are as special as doing meaningful work with great people.

We offer both.
‍

Join us to build at the frontier of applied AI.

Why solve this problem

Hard problem worth solving

Most hard things in life are worth doing and come with outsized rewards. Revenue/cashflow is the crux of capitalism. AR is anti-hype, high utility for the global economy, and net good for the world. Let's build a company we can tell our kids about with pride.

Plus, building any company is hard so we may as well go for the hardest hard.

$10T+ market and an opportunity to make an iconic multi-product company

We are deeply embedded in key workflows and impact cashflow (clear ROI). A 1% improvement in cashflow has a large, lasting, measurable impact.

No category winner yet. Why not us?

There is no Cursor of AR. We have a finite timing window to build a massive business. During discovery we spoke with >100 CFOs and nobody was happy with their AR solution.

Our unfair advantage

We have an unfair advantage because of our past experiences and scars (prior exit/ex-finance founders), company DNA (eng first) and late-mover advantage.

Insulated from the labs

We specifically picked a workflow that is not only a call option on building a large business, but is a also insulated from the labs and the hyperscalers.

Our bet is that this workflow is too complex, last mile is too hard, and too many integrations are required for the labs to go for it.

Perfect technology-problem fit

LLMs are built for finance workflows and we are applying them in production. Our customers will benefit from all the AI tailwinds (all the CAPEX/OPEX investments from frontier labs).

Our team

We are building a team of ambitious, curious people who thrive on solving hard problems.

If you want to build fast, accelerate your learning curve and/or become a founder - join us.

Learned about Monk from an investor I respected. The team was serious about brand and design, and I felt I could apply myself as a second-time founder here.

Growth

APPLY HERE

As a 2nd time founder, I was looking for a company that was doing hard things at the application layer. A place where the agents we'd build are core to customer workflows.

APPLY HERE

My classmate joined and referred me. Leaving J.P.Morgan was tough, but I didn't want to miss the window with AI and wanted maximum ownership early.

Operations

APPLY HERE

Joined the team to work with George again (we built & exited Streamlabs together). Plus, I loved the team, and it's a problem worth solving.

Why join now

If you are at a successful larger company

LLMs present the greatest timing window of this century. You do not want to be on the sidelines. You want max ownership, which is only possible at an early stage.

You want to 10x your learning curve and grow. Learn by building. You will ship more with us in a week than at most companies in a quarter.

If you feel like you are working in quicksand and you crave a sharper environment - then join us!

If you are at a startup

You will join an experienced founding team that scaled to $50M+ in revenue before and exited. We will avoid a # of traditional mistakes.

You want to be a founder. One of our personal goals is to help you start a company. We will open source all of our reasoning as we build Monk so that you can succeed as a founder after.

Monk wins if hundreds of early teammates go on to build successful businesses.

Interview process

We believe in a fast, transparent, and high empathy interview process.

We aim to respond within 24hrs after every step and not waste your time. We've taken people from first vibes call to an offer in <1 week.

Our interview process has 4 steps for engineers: (1) intro call, (2) systems design and live coding challenge with AI, (3) systems design, and (4) onsite where we meet each other and solve another problem. We do not believe in leetcode problems.

For non-technical roles our typical process is: (1) intro call, (2) 2nd call/take home, (3) onsite where you do an assignment and meet the team.

Now is a once in a century time to build and we do not want to waste your time. Our primary goal here is to ensure this is a mutual fit. As a result, we will be direct with you about who we are and who we are not.

And we ask you to do the same.

We believe in getting everything in the open and will be hyper transparent with every part of our company so that you can make the best decision for you.
