The Role

As a Senior Fullstack Engineer at Copilot Money, you'll be a key contributor on a small, high‑ownership engineering team building one of the most trusted personal finance apps in the market.

• Strong experience building web apps, with production work in Node.js, React, and TypeScript.

• Comfortable working across the full stack with minimal hand‑offs between client and server work.

• Strong system design fundamentals and comfort making technical tradeoffs under ambiguity.
• Clear communicator who works well with product, design, and fellow engineers.
• Team player who can manage time independently.
• Based in NYC.
