About Us
Metal is building the world’s most powerful intelligence platform for private market investors. We support deal teams throughout the diligence lifecycle — from market research and sourcing to evaluation and close. Top-tier funds like Berkshire Partners already rely on Metal to move faster and make smarter investment decisions.
We’re growing quickly — expanding our platform and customer base — and we’re just getting started.
If you're excited to transform how private investors work, collaborate, and make decisions, we’d love to meet you.
The Role
We’re looking for a Software Engineer to help us build magical, AI-native products that blend speed, intelligence, and simplicity. You’ll work across the stack — from building fast, intuitive interfaces to designing scalable backend infrastructure — and play a key role in defining how our system thinks and feels.
This is a high-impact role collaborating closely with Metal’s founders, GTM team, and fellow engineers. You’ll ship production code across frontend and backend surfaces, contribute to intelligent agent development, and help shape the core architecture of our platform.
What You'll Do
Own core parts of the product across both backend and frontend systems
Design and build scalable backend services with Go, MongoDB, and Vespa
Implement clean, maintainable UI components using React (Next.js) and Tailwind CSS
Collaborate with design and product to rapidly prototype new AI-native workflows
Build and integrate LLM-powered agents into investor workflows
Work across the stack (FE, API, infra) to deliver seamless, intelligent experiences
Contribute to architecture decisions and engineering culture as an early team member
Drive performance, reliability, and usability across the platform
What We’re Looking For
5+ years of experience as a software engineer working on production systems
Strong backend development experience (ideally in Go and MongoDB)
Comfortable working in frontend frameworks like React and Next.js
Familiarity with building and scaling cloud-native applications on AWS
Excited by fast iteration, rapid prototyping, and customer-centric development
Curious about intelligent systems and how to orchestrate agents using LLMs
Entrepreneurial mindset — proactive, adaptable, and outcome-oriented
Based in NYC or open to relocating — we believe great product gets built in person
Bonus
Experience working with or around AI/GenAI products
Familiarity with vector databases (e.g. Vespa, Pinecone) or agent orchestration frameworks (e.g. LangChain, OpenAI functions)
Exposure to real-time search, ranking, or large-scale data pipelines
Prior experience in a startup or lean, fast-moving engineering team
Our Stack
Frontend: React (Next.js), Tailwind CSS
Backend: Go, MongoDB
AI Infra: Vespa.ai, Model APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc), Agent orchestration
Infra: Vercel, AWS, GitHub Actions
