Quanta is an AI-powered finance platform built for fast-growing companies. Every company relies on accounting as its source of truth, but the tools today are manual, fragmented, and not designed for how modern businesses operate. We're building the system of record for finance - one that owns the data layer and uses AI to automate and abstract away the operational burden. The result is a real-time, intelligent financial backbone that goes far beyond traditional accounting software.
Our team brings together deep expertise in both finance and engineering. We've built accounting systems at Affirm, ledgers at Stripe and Robinhood, launched products from 0→1, and scaled systems that process billions of dollars in transactions. We've also lived the operational pain ourselves - building finance teams, closing books, and navigating the complexity of modern accounting.
We don't believe great software comes from guessing what customers need. We believe it comes from working alongside them. Today, we operate directly on our customers' accounting workflows. That gives us an incredibly tight feedback loop between customers, product, and engineering. We see where systems break, where judgment matters, and where automation creates real leverage. Every product decision starts with real workflows and real pain points.
Our ambition is bigger than building another accounting tool. We're creating the Operational Ledger - a new financial foundation that helps businesses understand their operations with the accuracy, context, and speed that modern companies deserve.
We're still early. The team is small, the problems we’re tackling are difficult, and every person we hire will shape the future of Quanta.
We're looking for our founding recruiter to build one of the most important functions at Quanta.
This isn't a recruiting role where you'll inherit mature processes and spend your time filling open reqs. You'll define how we hire, help shape who we hire, and build the systems that enable us to scale while maintaining an exceptionally high talent bar.
We're growing fast and every hire matters. You'll partner directly with our founders and hiring managers to build exceptional teams across engineering, product, design, operations, GTM, and beyond. You'll help define what great looks like, identify and close outstanding talent, and build a candidate experience that people genuinely remember.
You'll also own the recruiting infrastructure that supports our growth—from Ashby and sourcing strategy to interview design, scorecards, recruiting analytics, and employer brand. You'll continuously improve how we hire so recruiting becomes a competitive advantage for Quanta.
If you're excited about building from zero, partnering closely with founders, and helping assemble a world-class team at an ambitious company, we'd love to talk.
