  • Contribute to infrastructure that has supported over 1 million transactions and counting

  • Mentor junior engineers and collaborate closely with product, design, and leadership

  • Work on meaningful tools that support startup founders and everyday investors alike

Ideal Candidate Background

  • 0–6 years of full stack development experience (non-Big Tech backgrounds preferred unless clear reason for leaving)

  • Strong experience in Ruby on Rails or similar frameworks (Django, Node, etc.)

  • Proficiency in JavaScript, CSS, and a modern frontend framework like React

  • SQL/database knowledge (ideally Postgres)

  • Exceptional problem-solving ability and attention to detail

  • Excellent learner: able to pick up new technologies quickly

  • Clear communication skills and comfort working in high-autonomy environments

  • Experience scaling systems handling high volumes of transactions or data

  • Passion for fintech, investing, startups, or mission-driven work

Preferred

  • Prior experience with compliance, security, payments, or investment platforms

  • Track record as a former founder or entrepreneurial builder

  • Interest in mentoring and helping to grow engineering talent

  • Top-tier academic background or demonstrated equivalent aptitude

Compensation and Benefits

  • Base Salary: $160,000 – $250,000 depending on experience

  • Equity: Competitive equity package available

  • Hybrid Work: 3 days/week in SF (Mission District)

  • Visa sponsorship available for senior-level candidates
