Head of Finance

Company Overview

BotCity is building the future of automation with the Governance Platform for Python automations and AI Agents. We empower enterprises to innovate at scale, bringing governance, control, and observability to every automation project. Our philosophy is simple: automation is software, and software deserves the same high-code standards that drive innovation in AI and machine learning.

We recently raised a $12M Series A, led by Four Rivers, with participation from Y Combinator, SoftBank, and top industry leaders such as Lew Cirne (New Relic), Rod Johnson (SpringSource), and Walter Kortschak (Summit Partners | Firestreak Ventures). With 1,000+ customers in 70+ countries, including Bayer and LG, and recognition by G as one of the world's top 25 emerging platforms, BotCity is scaling fast.

We're a global remote company with teams across the US and LATAM, united by a shared vision to redefine how enterprises build and manage automation. If you're looking for an environment that values impact, autonomy, and excellence, we'd love for you to join us on this journey.
