Lead Full Stack Developer - Finance and Investment (REMOTE)

Remote, United States

This role is open to candidates across the U.S. There is a strong preference for those based in the New York area who can work in a hybrid setup (three days a week in the office). Candidates in other regions should be comfortable starting their day by 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time and traveling to New York up to three times per year for team gatherings.

Overview

This company builds modern software for private capital markets, helping investment teams manage complex financial data and analyze performance with precision. The platform supports sophisticated analytics, detailed workflows, and large-scale data ingestion across venture capital, private equity, and credit strategies.

You'll join a product-focused engineering team that works closely with product managers and designers to ship thoughtful, high-quality software. The environment is collaborative, fast-moving, and grounded in real-world impact. The systems you build will support mission-critical financial data and be used daily by experienced investment professionals.

The Role

As a Lead Full Stack Developer on the Product Engineering team, you'll own projects from early concept through production. You'll set technical direction, shape architecture, and stay hands-on in the code. This is a leadership role, but it is also deeply technical.

You'll be trusted to make sound decisions about system design, data modeling, and development approach. You'll balance speed with long-term platform health and guide the team through complex technical challenges.

What You'll Do

• Lead technical initiatives from idea to launch, including architectural design, data structures, and implementation strategy
• Partner with product and design to build performant, intuitive features that directly support client needs
• Maintain high standards for reliability and data integrity while keeping delivery on track
• Mentor engineers at different levels of experience and help grow future technical leaders
• Introduce new tools, patterns, and practices that improve how the team builds and ships software

What You Bring

• At least nine years of professional software development experience, including leading complex technical projects
• Deep experience with TypeScript, Node.js, PostgreSQL, and GraphQL , especially schema and API design
• Strong front-end experience with React and modern state and data management patterns such as React Query
• Comfort working through ambiguity and designing systems that account for data models, validation logic, workflows, and cross-system dependencies
• Clear communication skills and the ability to build alignment across technical and non-technical stakeholders
• A track record of making thoughtful tradeoffs that balance immediate business needs with long-term system health

Nice to Have

• Experience extending modern JavaScript libraries such as SpreadJS, HyperFormula, or AG Grid
• Background building computation-heavy services where performance and accuracy are critical
• Experience evolving complex data models as products grow and change
• Interest in tools that improve developer productivity, including AI-assisted coding

Compensation and Benefits

• Salary range : 185,000 - 245,000 USD (depending on experience)
• Equity participation
• Flexible work arrangements, including remote and hybrid options
• 401(k) plan
• Flexible vacation policy
• Comprehensive health benefits
• Fully paid parental leave
• Regular in-person team gatherings throughout the year (travel covered)

The team is committed to building an inclusive environment where people from all backgrounds can do their best work.

Why This Is a Great Opportunity

1. Real business, not hype
   This is infrastructure for private capital. The platform monitors over $20 trillion in AUM. These are real customers with real money-making real decisions. You are not optimizing clicks - you are building systems that institutional investors rely on.
2. Growth tied to expansion, not churn
   The company is expanding from private equity into private credit. That means new workflows, new data models, and new product surface area. These hires are net new, not backfills. No engineer turnover last year.
3. High ownership in a small team
   With about 43 engineers, you will not be engineer #4,000 in a giant org. You will own projects end-to-end. Architecture decisions matter. Your code ships. Your tradeoffs count.
4. True full-stack role
   This is real 50/50 full-stack work: TypeScript, Node.js, PostgreSQL, GraphQL, React, and React Query. You design schemas, write APIs, build UI, and think about system design.
5. Stability without bureaucracy
   Backed and established since 2016, but still small enough to move fast. That is the sweet spot most engineers say they want but rarely find.
6. Real technical bar
   The interview includes live coding and system design. They care about engineering quality. If you are strong, that is a feature, not a bug.
7. Remote with actual connection
   Remote-friendly with three team weeks per year in Brooklyn (travel covered). Enough in-person time to build real relationships without living in an office.
