What the job involves
- We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer with deep Elixir experience to help build and scale the core services that power the Vic.ai platform

You'll collaborate closely with product managers, data scientists, AI engineers, and fellow software engineers to design and deliver solutions that directly impact our customers and business

Our take
Outdated financial and accounting processes can seriously impact productivity and efficiency, especially at scale. Vic.ai leverages AI to solve this problem by automating repetitive processes such as invoicing, freeing up human workforces for more critical tasks.
This improves productivity, reduces the risk of human error and cuts costs. Naturally, this has proven especially popular among enterprises and accounting giants such as KPMG and Deloitte. This impressive client roster is testament to the value-adding potential of Vic.ai's tech.
Accounting and finance automation is a growing industry, and Vic.ai's main challenge will be competing with companies like Oracle and Intuit. However, with Vic.ai's technology boasting 99% accuracy, its no surprise that its customer roster continues to grow as the company builds momentum.
