About the Role
Join an early engineering team building US operations and core banking infrastructure for digital assets and financial technology. As a founding engineer, you will own important systems end to end and help shape a programmable banking platform designed to move money reliably at scale.
What You'll Do
- Ship production code early while learning the codebase, product, and banking domain.
- Lead projects from initial concept through implementation and production as an individual contributor.
- Translate complex financial and banking problems into reliable software that can operate at scale.
- Make decisions about system design, data modeling, and architectural tradeoffs.
- Work with engineering, product, and clients to evolve core banking systems.
- Build simple, automated solutions that reduce operational effort and are easy to maintain.
What We're Looking For
- At least 3 years of hands-on backend software engineering experience.
- At least 1 year of experience in an early-stage company or small startup environment.
- A track record of writing clean, correct, maintainable code and taking strong ownership of quality.
- Ability to ship, iterate, and make progress in new problem areas without waiting for a detailed playbook.
- Interest in core banking systems and financial infrastructure.
- Willingness to work from New York or relocate.
Compensation & Benefits
Annual base salary of $200,000 to $400,000, plus equity. Benefits include medical, dental, and vision coverage, a 401(k) plan, relocation support, and visa support.
Location
On-site in New York, New York. Relocation support is available.
