Help build the business OS
we couldn't buy anywhere.
Encarmo is a small team building eight connected products that millions of businesses will eventually run on. We're early. The decisions you'll make in the next year will still be load-bearing in five.
The case for joining before it's obvious.
There's a version of this page that lists ping-pong tables. This isn't that page. Here's what's actually true about joining a team this size, at this stage.
Your decisions are still load-bearing.
The architecture choices, the design system, the way modules talk to each other: at a company this early, the person who builds it is still the person living with it a year later. There's no inherited mess to work around. There's also nowhere to hide a bad decision.
The product already has a real point of view.
Free accounting forever. Flat pricing, no per-seat tax on growth. Eight modules sharing one ledger natively. We're not hiring people to discover what Encarmo believes, that's settled. We're hiring people to build it properly.
Fewer layers, faster feedback.
A team this size makes decisions in a conversation, not a committee. What you ship this week is in front of real customers within days. If something's wrong, you hear about it directly, not through three layers of product management.
We use what we build.
Encarmo runs its own finance and operations on Encarmo. If payroll has a rough edge, our own ops team feels it before a customer does. That's a genuinely useful forcing function, and it means the people building the product are never more than one Slack message from the people relying on it.
Four functions. One small team.

Product & Design
Own the user experience across all eight modules and the connective tissue between them. The hardest problem here is making eight modules feel like one product.

What to expect, start to finish.
No surprise stages. No five-round gauntlet for a small, focused team. Here's the actual process.
Intro call
A 30-minute conversation with the hiring lead for the role, about your background, what you're looking for, and what the role actually involves day to day.
Practical exercise
A short, real-world exercise related to the actual work: a code sample review, a design critique, a written response to a real support scenario. Never a take-home that takes more than a few hours.
Team conversation
Meet two or three people you'd actually work with. We're checking for working style and judgment, not trivia. You should leave knowing what the first three months would look like.
Decision
We aim to get back to every candidate, yes or no, within 2-3 business days of the final conversation. If it's a no, we'll tell you why specifically, not with a template.
The practical things, stated plainly.
Real equity, early
Meaningful ownership for early hires, with standard vesting. Specific ranges discussed by role during the process, not hidden until an offer.
Flexible, remote-friendly
Sheridan, Wyoming-based core team, remote-friendly across USA/EU time zones for most roles. We care about output and overlap hours, not seat time.
Health & dental cover
Comprehensive private health and dental insurance for you and your dependents from day one.
Real time off
28 days annual leave, plus public holidays. We mean it when we say take it, there's no culture of quietly judging people who do.
Learning budget
$1,500 annual budget for courses, books, and conferences relevant to your role.
A say in the roadmap
Every team member can submit and vote on the same public roadmap our customers use. If you build it, you also get a vote on what gets built next.
The five beliefs that shape how we hire.
These are the same convictions behind the product. They show up in how we work, too.
Accounting software should be free.
Per-seat pricing is a tax on growth.
Fragmentation costs human time, not just fees.
Errors are systems failures, not human ones.
The best software is invisible.
A few things people ask us.
If your question isn't here, email support@encarmo.com directly, a real person reads it.
Do you only hire in Sheridan, Wyoming?
▾
No. Most roles are remote-friendly across USA and EU time zones, with the core team based in Sheridan, Wyoming for in-person collaboration. Specific location requirements, if any, are stated on each individual role listing.
What if there's no open role in my area?
▾
Roles are remote-friendly across USA and EU time zones for most positions, so location usually isn't a blocker within that range. If you're outside the USA/EU and see a role with no stated location restriction, send a speculative note explaining your setup and we'll tell you honestly whether it's workable.
Is Encarmo funded, and is my job secure if I join now?
▾
Encarmo is independently owned and funded through its own revenue, not outside venture capital. That means slower headcount growth than a well-funded startup might see, but it also means pricing and roadmap decisions answer to customers, not to a return timeline. We hire only for roles the business can sustain.
What's the interview process like for non-engineering roles?
▾
The same four-step process: intro call, a practical exercise scoped to the role (a marketing brief, a support scenario, a financial model, whatever fits the actual job), a team conversation, and a decision within 2 to 3 business days. The exercise changes by function; the process doesn't.
Nothing open
that fits yet?
Tell us anyway. The best hires we make are rarely the ones we planned for in advance.
