PRINCIPAL, TECHNOLOGY ENGINEERING

Range is creating AI-powered solutions to eliminate financial complexity for our members. We’re transforming wealth management through the perfect blend of cutting-edge technology and human expertise. We’ve built an integrated platform that tackles the full spectrum of financial needs—investments, taxes, retirement planning, and estate management—all unified in one intuitive system.

Backed by Google’s Gradient Ventures and Cathay Innovations, we’re in hyper-growth mode and looking for exceptional talent to join our starting lineup. Every Ranger at this stage is shaping our culture and way of life—from former CEOs and startup founders to experts from leading hedge funds and tech companies.

If you’re ready to build something that truly matters in financial services, bring your talent to Range. Here, you’ll make a genuine impact on how people manage their financial lives while working alongside a team that celebrates wins, makes big decisions, and blazes new trails together.

You’ll lead a team of full-stack engineers while staying deep in the code yourself. Think player-coach: you’re shipping production features one day and unblocking an engineer’s architecture decision the next. You’ll own the delivery cadence, technical quality, and growth trajectory of your team while partnering closely with product, design, and our financial planning org to build the platform our members rely on. We ship fast, we ship often, and we expect our engineering leaders to understand every layer of what we’re building.

This role is based at Range's Headquarters in McLean, VA. Employees hired for this position will work in office Monday-Friday. If you are not currently located in this area, your willingness to relocate will be a contingency for employment.

Lead, mentor, and grow a team of 4–8 full-stack engineers. Write production code, conduct thorough code reviews, and make architectural decisions on systems that handle real money and sensitive financial data.

Scope projects, set milestones, remove blockers, and hold yourself and your engineers accountable for shipping high-quality work on time.

Partner closely with product managers and designers to translate member needs and business goals into engineering roadmaps and sprint plans.

Drive engineering excellence across the organization—improve CI/CD pipelines, strengthen observability and testing, reduce deployment friction, and raise the bar on code quality.

Help the team adopt and integrate AI tooling into daily workflows to multiply velocity and output quality.

Collaborate cross-functionally with our planning team, investment and tax specialists and compliance to ensure what we build meets the standard our members expect from their financial partner.

Establish and champion engineering best practices. Produce clean, high-quality code, tests, and documentation.

5+ years of professional full stack software engineering experience with at least 1–2 years leading a team.

Proficiency in JavaScript, TypeScript, or similar.

Experience working with AWS or similar cloud platforms.

Track record of building, shipping, and operating reliable production systems—you understand what it takes to build secure software at scale, not just pass a code review.

You give direct, actionable feedback and have helped engineers level up through mentorship or management.

Comfortable working across the stack (frontend, backend, infrastructure).

Bonus: experience in fintech, wealth management, regulated financial services or startups.

Competitive base salary + meaningful equity with early exercise eligibility

Health & Wellness: 100% employer-covered medical insurance for employees (75% for dependents), plus dental and vision coverage

401(k): Retirement savings program to support your future

Paid Time Off: 15 vacation days annually + most federal holidays

Comprehensive leave policy for growing families

Conference attendance, workshops, and continued learning support

After two years, take time to launch your own venture—we’ll save your seat
