Software Engineer

About Soma Capital Soma Capital is a ten-year-old, ~$1B AUM seed fund founded by Aneel Ranadive . We lead seed rounds and follow on through Series AC. With 1,000 first checks and 30 unicorns (Deel, Rippling, Ramp, Razorpay, Rappi, Mercor, Cognition Labs, etc.), we're day-one partners to the next generation of superhuman builders. Founders tap our deep network of Fortune 500 CEOs, NBA ownership ties, and repeat-founder friends for pivotal customers and hires. What You'll Do Design, build, and ship internal products that sharpen our information edge: data pipelines, search/ranking engines, deal-sourcing dashboards, and AI research agents. Prototype in days, not months, working elbow-to-elbow with Aneel, the investment team, portfolio founders, and LPs. Refactor legacy code, pay down tech debt, and streamline a lean modern stack. Choose pragmatism over dogma: if a low/no-code tool solves it faster, use it. Own projects end-to-end (scoping, architecture, deployment, observability) and occasionally embed with founders to crack hard tech problems. Your Toolkit (Must-Haves) 0-3 years professional engineering experience or exceptional new-grad portfolio. B.S. in CS or another STEM discipline from a top institution (or equivalent proof of excellence). Deep skill in TypeScript/React or Python (FastAPI) ; eagerness to learn the other. Comfort across the stack: React frontend, Python APIs, SQL/ETL data plumbing, and Pulumi infrastructure. Fluency in SQL and data modeling; comfort deploying to any major cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure, etc.). Must have authorization to work in the United States (we cannot sponsor visas). Bonus Points ML/LLM infrastructure, Typesense search, ETL/data-engineering pipelines. Pulumi-based IaC, GitHub Actions CI/CD. Prior startup, hackathon, or incubation experience. Thrives in high-autonomy, high-ambiguity contexts. Stack Snapshot Main app: T3 stack (Next.js tRPC TypeScript Prisma) on GCP. Search & ranking: Typesense embeddings. Rapid prototypes/MVPs: spun up on Railway or Vercel. Infrastructure: Pulumi-driven IaC with GitHub Actions. Why Soma 8,000 sqft SoHo HQ 4-5 days/week in office. Code shoulder-to-shoulder with Aneel, the investment team, and a nonstop parade of founders. Immediate ownership: ship production features in month one; path to tech-lead projects by month six and optional jump into investing or a portfolio company role later. Founder osmotic learning: discussing blitz-scaling over dumplings with Deel's founder; expect that level of access weekly. Internal hack-days double as incubators; spin up a side-project that sticks and we may seed it. Fun off-sites in places like Miami, Mexico City, and occasional Bay Area trips. No bureaucracy: ask for the tool, book, or service you need; if it moves the mission, it shows up tomorrow. Competitive comp: $100-160K base bonus potential carry (commensurate with experience). Standard benefits: health, dental, vision, 401(k), unlimited PTO. Help set the engineering culture: greenfield chance to build it right.
