Staff Software Engineer

⚡ Senior / Staff Software Engineer – Series B FinTech

Flatiron, NYC | 4 days in-office

Up to $360k base

The Company

Storm2’s client is a Series B FinTech with $80M raised and an established product, now building out its core engineering team in New York.

There’s serious capital behind the business, but it’s still early enough that a handful of engineers will make decisions that materially shape the product and architecture.

The Role

A lot of Staff roles give you influence by taking you further away from the code. This one doesn’t.

They want engineers who can make architectural decisions, own difficult problems end-to-end and still build. You’ll work close to the product and business, with enough autonomy that the expectation is to define solutions rather than simply execute against somebody else’s design.

For the right engineer, that means startup-level ownership without joining at the point where product-market fit and funding are still open questions.

What you’ll be working on:

• Building core systems and products as the company scales
• Owning architecture and implementation end-to-end
• Solving scalability, reliability and system design problems
• Working directly with product and commercial stakeholders
• Setting technical standards as the engineering organisation grows

What you’ll bring:

• Senior or Staff-level software engineering experience
• Strong production engineering and system design fundamentals
• Evidence of owning complex software from idea through production
• Comfort operating in high-autonomy, fast-moving teams
• FinTech, payments, banking or financial infrastructure experience is valuable, but strong high-growth technology backgrounds are relevant too

$80M raised. Up to $360k base. Meaningful technical ownership.

The trade-off is straightforward: this is a four-day-a-week office environment in Flatiron. If you want fully remote, it isn’t the one. If you want to work closely with a strong engineering team and have genuine influence over what gets built, it probably warrants a conversation.
