We’re looking for talented engineers who thrive on working on complex problems and solving them through building reliable, scalable systems. You’ll work across backend services, data pipelines, and APIs that form the foundation of our platform.

This is a hands‑on role where you’ll partner with engineers and our CTO to design and implement core systems spanning multiple clouds.

• Create large‑scale, AWS‑native data processing pipelines for cloud and SaaS agnostic features to support data and AI features
• Work across multiple cloud and SaaS providers to harmonize their data
• Ensure platform security, compliance, and cost performance
• Collaborate closely with the engineering team on system design, performance optimization, and scaling
• Own your work from start to finish—architect, build, test, deploy, monitor

• 5+ years of software engineering experience across cloud infrastructure, data engineering, or backend systems
• Deep experience with developing production‑ready architectures on AWS (alternatively GCP or Azure)
• Ability to understand tradeoffs between heuristic and machine learning
• Experience developing machine learning models
• Strong Python and SQL skills (alternatively Go, Ruby, JS)
• Familiarity with CI/CD (Git Hub Actions, etc.)
• Pragmatic, solution‑oriented, and comfortable making tradeoffs in early‑stage product development
• Excellent communicator with strong documentation habits and a collaborative engineering mindset

• Previous technical founder
• Recognitions in competitions, awards, or business ventures
• Experience in quantitative, trading, financial algorithmic-heavy roles
• Experience in a startup or fast‑moving environment
• Background in data‑heavy systems or ML infrastructure or agentic workflows
• Familiarity with Fin Ops concepts or financial data pipelines
• AWS or GCP technical certifications
• Built platforms that scaled rapidly with user growth
• Understanding of AI/ML systems at the infrastructure level (data prep, feature stores, inference pipelines)

• US Remote / Hybrid with access to our office in Dumbo, Brooklyn
• Unlimited PTO
• 16‑week fully paid parental leave (20 weeks at 50% for mothers)
• Company‑wide breaks: last week of August & Dec 23–Jan 3
