About Our Company
Owners of small and medium sized businesses (SMBs) rarely have access to the expertise and personalized business services that larger companies take for granted. When SMB owners look for help to optimize, scale, and potentially sell their businesses - their options are extremely costly and limited.
We bring enterprise-grade, tailored business advice and financial solutions to small and medium sized businesses owners. We do this both directly and via partnerships with the financial advisors who serve the personal financial needs of SMB owners.
We’re bringing the powerful financial services and tools of Wall Street to the small businesses on Main Street - helping them optimize, scale, and plan for the future.
We are a venture backed business with multiple years of runway.
About The Role
We are seeking gifted, full-stack software engineers to help support and grow our financial platform offerings. This is a significant opportunity to be a founding member of a growing team and help shape the way we develop, deploy, and operate production quality systems. In this role, your work will make a significant impact on our customers, stakeholders, and ability to continue to scale.
Why Our Company?
Our engineers love building products, emphasizing efficiency and developer happiness. We deploy at-will, many times a day, coordinated via Slack, GitHub, and Linear. As a remote-friendly team, we will always prefer asynchronous processes. As a result, our morning standup is the only recurring meeting and we Write Things Down™. Through collaboration, we prioritize the best answer — regardless who comes up with it — and believe "done" is better than "perfect."
We want to work with curious, self-motivated engineers who enjoy learning new technologies. So, instead of looking for people with "X years doing Y," we're glad to find those with opinions on a variety of languages and approaches. We're excited to know there's always more to learn; if you feel the same, let's work together!
We're just getting started creating our platform, so you'll have the ability to be involved designing and building from the ground up. We anticipate using technologies like NextJS with GraphQL/Relay on the frontend and having a backend composed of languages like Elixir/Phoenix, Go, Python, and NodeJS. Our core systems store data in PostgreSQL. We deploy on Google Cloud, provisioned through Terraform.
We're venture backed with years of runway, and we are hiring multiple people for this role. We'd love to talk to you!
What You'll Do
Leverage TypeScript+React, Relay, and GraphQL to build beautiful user interfaces and experiences.
Expand and maintain our backend services (a mix of Elixir/Phoenix, Go, Python, and NodeJS) running on cloud-based serverless technologies
Create and refine automated AI agent systems written in Python
Support existing products and features, while helping design and build new ones.
Collaborate regularly with other stakeholders and partners to solicit requirements, seek feedback and provide updates.
Qualifications
Candidates do not need prior experience with any specific technology - we are looking for candidates who are excited to learn new frameworks. That said, a strong understanding of Javascript and modern browser technology and experience building for the web (HTTP, how cookies work, CSP, CORS, etc) is needed.
Experience building full stack web applications (ideally for at least 10 years, given the seniority of the position)
Strong understanding of modern browser technology and experience building for the web (HTTP, how cookies work, CSP, CORS, etc)
Strong relational database fundamentals
Demonstrable proficiency and a track record of professional success coding in at least two programming languages
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Enjoy working in a collaborative environment where engineers are expected not only to build great technology, but also to define project vision, specify technical strategy, and always be learning
Experience presenting to audiences and communicating effectively and empathetically with clients and other stakeholders
Strong preference will be given to candidates who have experience:
Quickly learning new languages, frameworks, and technologies (including best practices)
With relational databases (and SQL) and query optimization
As a technical leader (team lead or management experience)
Deploying on and configuring Amazon Web Services and/or Google Cloud
Writing production-ready code in Elixir, TypeScript, JavaScript, Go, or Ruby
Developing AI agents and utilizing LLMs for automation
Compensation / Benefits
In addition to a salary range of $200k – $240k for this position, we provide equity grants as well as a competitive benefits package (health insurance, dental insurance, vision coverage, home office setup, unlimited paid leave, 401k starting this year, and more).
