Lead Engineer At Domain Money (Remote)

Job Description

The Role: Lead Engineer At Domain Money

\n

We're looking for a full-stack Lead Engineer to own large product and infrastructure projects across our planning platform, for our clients and the financial planners who serve them. You'll work directly with our executive team and senior leadership as you design systems, ship production software, and raise the quality and velocity of the engineering team.

\n

\n

You'll build AI features that help our CFPs work more efficiently and serve their clients better, and you'll use AI in your own work every day. The field changes month to month, so we expect you to keep current on your own and share what you learn across product and engineering. You'll make the engineers around you better through code review and pairing, and do the same for our coding and review agents.

\n

The role is remote, with a strong preference for West Coast hours, and reports directly to our VP of Engineering.

\n

\n

What you'll do with us

\n

\n
• Own major product and platform initiatives from problem definition through design, implementation, rollout, and operation.
\n
• Turn product requirements into simple technical plans and make the trade-offs explicit.
\n
• Break large projects into shippable increments, define scope with product and business stakeholders, and release secure, tested code behind feature flags.
\n
• Design AI features with clear evaluation criteria, privacy boundaries, human review paths, and monitoring.
\n
• Improve reliability and performance through test automation, observability, and CI/CD.
\n
• Keep our applications secure, with the access control, auditability, and data handling that client financial data requires.
\n
• Work closely with product, design, financial planners, and leadership to make technical decisions that balance client value, compliance, speed, and long-term maintainability.
\n
• Be a force multiplier for the engineers and coding agents you work with, through code review, pairing, and improving the skills, context, and workflows our agents rely on.
\n

What will set you apart

\n

\n
• 6+ years of professional software engineering experience, including ownership of complex full-stack systems in production.
\n
• Proficiency in TypeScript, React, Next.js, and Node.js.
\n
• Solid Postgres skills, including data modeling and query performance.
\n
• Experience deploying and running services on AWS.
\n
• You've shipped customer-facing AI features to production.
\n
• Fluency with AI-assisted development. You know the tools' limits and keep a high bar for what you ship with them.
\n
• Strong technical judgment around architecture, product risk, security, technical debt, and when speed is worth the trade-off.
\n
• Clear written and verbal communication.
\n
• Start-up experience, and comfort making practical trade-offs with a small team.
\n
• Financial services or FinTech experience is a plus.

Who we are

\n

We are a scrappy, well-funded, proven team of technology, product, data, and design experts. We know how to bring complex, regulated products to market. We built industry-leading products such as Marcus by Goldman Sachs and Clarity Money.

\n

\n

We have a culture that values being transparent, honest, and agile. A place where challenging convention is welcome and discussion is encouraged.

\n

No one said it was easy to build something new, but we also know that mutual respect and collaboration will get us there in a way that makes work satisfying and fun.

What we do

\n

At Domain Money, we provide flat fee financial planning using a technology enabled platform. Our financial planning technology is highly differentiated from plans typically provided by companies like eMoney, MoneyGuidePro or RightCapital.

\n

Rather than sixty pages of statistics and charts, our plans are highly readable and give clients clear actionable steps based on their stated goals and what is achievable based on their lifestyle. Utilizing our unique proprietary technology, our AI platform is able to turn a client's documents into a highly personalized financial plan.

\n

In addition to financial planning, we provide tax planning and filing services, estate planning and investment management services. We offer investment management through the custodian, Altruist.

Who is behind us

\n

Michael Kitces is on our board. Joe Duran is an advisor. We're honored to have attracted leading financial services investors who have backed innovative companies such as Betterment, Venmo, NerdWallet and Square. These investors include Bessemer, Maveron, RRE, Marc Benioff and Joe Lonsdale.
