About the role

  • We're looking for a Staff Software Engineer to join our team at a critical moment in our growth.

Responsibilities

  • Drive alignment on engineering standards, patterns, and best practices across the organization
  • Lead complex, ambiguous projects from problem definition through delivery, often before the path is clear
  • Partner with product and business stakeholders to translate long-term goals into a coherent technical strategy
  • Mentor and raise the bar for engineers across the team through code review, design feedback, and direct collaboration
  • Demonstrated ability to own and drive org-wide technical initiatives, not just individual projects
  • Comfortable operating at multiple altitudes, able to write production code and influence system design in the same day

Nice to have

  • Represent engineering in cross-functional planning, bringing a systems-level perspective to product and operational decisions
  • Strong written and verbal communication

Skills

  • 10+ years of software engineering experience, with a track record of technical leadership at scale
  • Deep backend expertise with strong familiarity in Node.js, TypeScript, and modern cloud-native architectures (AWS preferred)
  • Experience in fintech or similarly regulated, complex-domain environments strongly preferred
  • BA/BS in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent experience
  • Preferred candidates based in New York or San Francisco
  • On-site 3 days a week in our office

Compensation

  • 40,000+ family interactions supported every year

Benefits

  • Competitive comp with equity so you own a piece of what you're building
  • 90% of your medical premium covered
  • Fully paid parental leave
  • Unlimited PTO - and we actively encourage you to use it.
  • Taking care of yourself isn't a perk here, it's part of the job
