About the role
- You will be one of the first engineers on the ground in the states, in our new NYC office.
- You're a super IC in a small, elite engineering team.
- You work with engineering, product, and clients.
Responsibilities
- Few people get to build a bank from scratch.
- Even fewer get to build one at a moment when banking itself is being reinvented.
- Either they build on legacy clearing banks that are slow and unreliable, or they interface with middleware providers that don't move and hold the dollars directly, but themselves rely on underlying legacy banks.
- You build systems that make the problem smaller.
Requirements
- 3+ years of hands-on software engineering experience (backend-focused).
- 1+ years in early-stage or small startup environments.
- You have strong opinions on how the core banking systems should evolve and you're acting on them.
- The team is small on purpose, that means you have a lot of ownership, you move fast, and you make decisions that actually matter.
Compensation
- Compensation packages at Augustus include base salary, equity, and benefits.
- The annual US base salary range for this role is $200,000-$400,000 + equity.
Benefits
- Additional to the global benefits above, we offer localized benefits such as comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance and a 401(k) retirement plan for our US team.
- Relocation support, visa support, the latest Apple gear (MacBook + AirPods), lunch benefit, gym benefit, a beautiful office in the heart of the city, 4x on-/offsites per year, and an annual development budget.
Company info
- A real, national bank charter (in organization), and Marble, our proprietary core banking system, built around intelligence, made of code.
