The posting

Edwin is building the modern financial operating system for local governments. Cities, counties, and special districts manage trillions of dollars using fragmented bank portals, legacy systems, and manual spreadsheets. We are replacing that infrastructure with an AI-powered platform that integrates banking, investing, spend management, and automated workflows into a single source of truth.

Backed by top-tier institutional VCs, Edwin is live with initial clients across the country. Local governments are underserved by every major financial platform. We are building the infrastructure they have never had.

BONUS QUALIFICATIONS

- Working knowledge of accounting and ERP systems, including banking, fund management, general ledger, and month-end close

PAY AND BENEFITS

- Annual base salary range of $190,000–$225,000, dependant on experience and demonstrated scope of impact

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
