About the role

What You’ll Do With Us

  • Lead, mentor, and grow a team of 4–8 full-stack engineers. Run effective 1:1s, give direct and specific feedback, and create clear career development paths.
  • 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.
  • Champion our AI-first approach. Help the team adopt and integrate AI tooling into daily workflows to multiply velocity and output quality.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with our planning team, investment and tax specialists and compliance to ensure what we build meets the standard our members expect from their financial partner.
  • Establish and champion engineering best practices. Produce clean, high-quality code, tests, and documentation.

  • 5+ years of professional full stack software engineering experience with at least 1–2 years leading a team.
  • Proficiency in JavaScript, TypeScript, or similar.
  • Experience working with AWS or similar cloud platforms.
  • Excellent product instincts. You first think about users rather than the best technical solution.
  • Track record of building, shipping, and operating reliable production systems—you understand what it takes to build secure software at scale, not just pass a code review.
  • Genuine interest in growing people. You give direct, actionable feedback and have helped engineers level up through mentorship or management.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced startup environment.
  • Ability to solve ambiguous problems without the need to be told exactly what to do.
  • Ability to pick up on new technologies very quickly.
  • Comfortable working across the stack (frontend, backend, infrastructure).

Bonus: experience in fintech, wealth management, regulated financial services or startups.
