What You’ll Do With Us

- Stay hands-on in the codebase. Write production code, conduct thorough code reviews, and make architectural decisions on systems that handle real money and sensitive financial data.
- Own your team’s delivery end-to-end. Scope projects, set milestones, remove blockers, and hold yourself and your engineers accountable for shipping high-quality work on time.
- Partner closely with product managers and designers to translate member needs and business goals into engineering roadmaps and sprint plans.
- Drive engineering excellence across the organization—improve CI/CD pipelines, strengthen observability and testing, reduce deployment friction, and raise the bar on code quality.
- Recruit and retain exceptional engineers. Build a team you’d want to work for. Sell candidates on the mission and close them on the opportunity.
