Are you an experienced full-stack Software Engineer, looking to join a very promising early-stage startup in an environment with fast iteration and a founder-led culture?

This is an exciting opportunity to play a pivotal role in shaping a consumer-facing financial platform that is rethinking how everyday users interact with their money. You'll work with a small, highly technical team to build experiences that leverage personalization, abstraction, and intelligence to guide users through financial processes rather than confuse them.

You'll be joining a San Francisco-based startup with a mission to modernize financial interfaces for millions of people, moving fast and iterating on impactful features. The team is building complex data pipelines, consumer-facing applications, and intelligent workflows to make financial tools intuitive and user-friendly.

As part of a focused, high-caliber engineering team, you'll take ownership of critical backend and full-stack systems, help design scalable data pipelines, and ship features that are directly used and appreciated by end users.

This is a hands-on, high-impact role perfect for engineers who thrive in early-stage, product-driven environments with minimal oversight and a strong bias for action.
