Build the Future of Audit

At Tellen, we’re building secure automation tools that fundamentally change how auditors work—freeing teams from rote tasks so they can focus on judgment where it matters. We’re solving hard problems in a niche, high-trust space. We’re looking for a technical leader who can own both product execution and engineering quality. At Tellen, your ‘team’ is a set of AI agents. You’ll manage and coordinate them, drive product development from the ground up, and ensure what ships is well-designed, robust, and valuable to our customers.

We are looking for the most credible person an audit firm can buy from: someone who has actually run engagements, signed reports, defended workpapers in inspection, and lived the busy season at a Big 4, BDO, RSM, Grant Thornton, regional, or top mid-market firm. This is a sales leadership role for a former practitioner. You will own the entire revenue motion — strategy, pipeline, pricing, contracts, expansion — selling to the people you used to be: managing partners, audit quality leaders, innovation officers, and engagement partners. You will not sell on hype. You will sell on a tool you yourself would have killed to have when you were the senior manager three weeks before a 10-K was due. The commission program is intentionally aggressive: 20% of net-of-sales (i.e., post-discount, post-implementation cost) for every deal you close, on top of base. We want you to feel the upside of every contract you sign, in the same way an equity partner feels the upside of an engagement they originate. We want sellers who think like owners and execute like the audit partners who built their book one inspection at a time.

Audit firms run their reputation on quality. So do we. The hardest engineering problem at Tellen is not building features — it is making sure every feature, every agent, and every model upgrade still does the right thing on every customer’s data, every day. We are looking for a senior leader to own that problem end to end. You will define what "quality" means for an AI-native audit platform, build the evaluation framework that lets us prove it, and establish the automated testing infrastructure that catches regressions before customers do. You will partner with the engineering team to raise the floor, and with the founders to set the bar. You will be the person who can answer: ‘How do we know this agent is better today than it was last week?’ ‘Did the model swap quietly degrade revenue cycle audits?’ ‘What is our defect rate per engagement and is it trending the right way?’ — and the person who builds the systems that make those answers cheap to produce.

Tellen is building the AI platform that will reshape how the world’s auditors work. The product is the most defensible part of the moat; the brand is the second. We’re looking for a senior marketing leader to own the second. This is not a marketing operations role. It’s a creative, strategic, and operational leadership role across brand, design, content, social, events, partner marketing, and field presence. You’ll set the voice, the visual system, the narrative, and the cadence — and you’ll execute against them while you build the team underneath you. You will partner directly with the founders on positioning and the go-to-market story, with the Head of Sales on the field motion, and with engineering and design on what shows up on the website, in the product, and on stage. You will be measured on inbound pipeline, brand recognition inside accounting, and the quality of the work we put into the world.

We’re looking for a Forward Deploy Engineer / Solutions Architect who will serve as our embedded expert at client accounting firms. This is not a typical engineering role and it’s not a typical consulting role—it’s both. You’ll sit alongside audit teams, understand their day-to-day workflows at a granular level, and then design and build AI agent workflows on the Tellen platform that automate their engagements end to end. The ideal candidate is a former practitioner—someone who has lived the busy season, prepared workpapers, navigated PCAOB or AICPA standards, and knows the pain points firsthand. You’ll bring that domain credibility into every client conversation and use it to translate real-world audit challenges into automated solutions.
