Casca
Founding Software Engineer
Location: San Mateo, CA
Base pay range $185,000.00/yr - $325,000.00/yr
Why Casca
Casca is building AGI for banking. We’re replacing decades-old legacy systems with AI‑native technology that automates 90% of the manual work humans once had to do.
What You’ll Do
Lead strategy with urgency: Drive architectural decisions that support long‑term stability while maintaining the pace required by a fast‑growing banking platform. Identify critical paths and make high‑stakes technical calls to keep the organization moving efficiently.
Balance coding & leadership: Maintain a projected division of roughly 70% contributing high‑quality code and 30% driving technical alignment. Ship individually while unblocking the wider team.
Drive execution: Lead the development of complex initiatives by chunking and sequencing work to maximize parallelization. Maintain high throughput and ensure features reach production without unnecessary delays.
Amplify the team: Mentor team members directly and by example, helping others reach their true potential and driving engineering best practices.
Optimize for value: Leverage pattern recognition to build SaaS applications that balance complexity, quality, and speed of delivery. Build for customers, avoiding unnecessary complexity.
Elevate standards: Lead initiatives to fine‑tune controls and communication channels to improve predictability and system reliability. Use data to prioritize work that moves the needle.
Our tech stack: TypeScript, React, NextJS, Postgres with Prisma, Python, AWS.
What You’ll Bring
Seasoned engineering expertise: 7+ years of software engineering experience with a track record of delivering significant projects in fast‑paced, production SaaS environments.
Operational resilience: Thrive in high‑velocity environments and make decisions under pressure. Understand that a perfect architecture is useless if it doesn’t ship and manage trade‑offs to maintain momentum.
Architectural maturity: A quality‑first mentality, but with a bias for action. Quickly identify trade‑offs between “doing it right” and “doing it now.”
Technical mastery: Deep expertise in modern programming languages and web application frameworks, with strong competence in data modeling for relational databases and distributed cloud platforms.
Security & compliance awareness: Experience in regulated industries (e.g., Fintech or Healthcare) is a nice‑to‑have. Design for security, reliability, and compliance without slowing execution.
Strategic problem solving: Take high‑level business goals and independently drive them to technical solutions, navigating ambiguity and minimizing churn.
What You’ll Get
Impact & ownership: Shape the future of banking through AI, owning end‑to‑end product initiatives.
Collaborative environment: Work alongside a talented and passionate team that values continuous improvement and knowledge sharing.
Competitive compensation: Salary, benefits, and potential equity in a fast‑growing startup.
Professional growth: Access to resources and mentorship to expand skills, influence strategy, and accelerate your career.
Culture of innovation: Encourage risk‑taking, learning from failures, and pushing the boundaries of fintech.
