About us
In Italy, managing the finances of an SME or an accounting firm means dealing with tools that don't talk to each other, chasing invoices and bank statements, and going crazy over deadlines.
The result? Wasted time, decisions made too late, zero growth.
Sibill changes all of this: invoicing, payments, treasury and accounting for SMEs and accountants, all in a single platform powered by artificial intelligence.
Today over 5,000 companies and more than 300 firms work with Sibill. In 2025 we closed a €12 million round led by Creandum, the fund that believed in Spotify, Klarna and Trade Republic.
Our values are ambition, pragmatism, efficiency and integrity. Translated: never settle, cut useless meetings, tell the client immediately when there's a problem, give honest feedback even to your own manager.
To grow, we look for curious people, able to simplify complexity and to challenge the status quo, in other words “cazzimma”.
If what you've read has sparked even a little something, apply: a team of over 130 talented people is waiting for you.
What you'll doYou will report directly to the Head of AI. Together with them you will build the AI products that help our clients manage their business better. It won't be a solo job: you will work every day with the data, engineering, infra, product and design teams.
We work on the most critical data of a company: cash flows, bank transactions, invoices, receipts, receivables and payables, general ledger entries. We are the operating system for our clients' finance and accounting. Your task will be to leverage this information asset to solve concrete problems for clients.
Your responsibilities will include:
Discovery, domain understanding and experimentation
Design and development of AI systems in production
Definition and management of evals: metrics, test datasets, monitoring of quality, costs and latency
Continuous iteration on existing AI products, choosing the most suitable approach each time. The work is not “done” when the model is in prod, but when clients use it daily and depend on it
Some examples of projects you could work on from the first month:
Introduce re-ranking into our automatic reconciliation algorithm.
Build a new system for knowledge management, retrieval, memory and tool use for Sibill's AI agents.
Follow training and evals of a language model for Italian bank transactions.
You hold a master's degree or a PhD in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, Mathematics or another STEM discipline. Solid foundations in mathematics, statistics, probability and machine learning will make the difference.
You have concrete experience and success stories building and bringing into production AI-based applications used by thousands of users.
You haven't taken shortcuts: you know the fundamentals (linear models, linear algebra, neural networks, backprop) and you master the “low level”.
You master modern Python and software development tools (git, Docker, CI/CD, unit testing, evals). We don't run data pipelines on Jupyter Notebook in production.
You know the APIs of the main model providers and the ecosystem's frameworks, but you also know when to do without them.
You have an end-to-end ownership mindset, especially at the beginning. It won't happen every day, but if needed you may have to build a data pipeline from scratch, write a batch ETL, write code in Elixir or TypeScript, or support colleagues with a targeted empirical analysis.
You speak Italian and English fluently.
Bonus point: at least 7-8 years of experience in software or ML, part of it on AI systems in production. You have already coached and mentored junior colleagues.
If:
you are passionate about technology, artificial intelligence and business. All three
you don't feel “arrived”, you are a builder and want to stay hands-on
you are excited to work in a flat, politics-free, high-speed environment
you have excellent analytical skills and great attention to detail
you have high ownership and high agency
you recognise yourself in the values we share at Sibill: ambition, pragmatism, efficiency, integrity
you are probably a great fit!
Salary and benefitsGross annual salary (RAL): between €80,000 and €100,000, depending on experience
Meal vouchers: €8 per working day
Fully remote (resident in Italy). We will only ask you to come to Milan for a few weeks during onboarding. If you are in Milan, you are more than welcome in the office!
You will work in a team of brilliant, passionate people who work hard and are also great fun. At Sibill people tend to be very happy. Happiness is an underrated benefit ;-)
A short chat with Gaia, our HR Manager
30 minutes getting to know Dario (CTO) and Elisa (Head of AI)
45-minute technical interview
You will meet some of the key people you will work with (engineering, data, product - together in an informative session)
45 minutes with Mattia (CEO) and Lorenzo (Chief Product Officer)
