About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Lead the design and delivery of complex product features and platform systems, from scoping and architecture through production and iteration.
Establish engineering patterns and standards for the team: how we build, test, observe, and iterate across both product and platform work.
Apply and champion AI tooling (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and the rest) to accelerate your own output and raise the team's velocity.
Drive architectural decisions: data models, service boundaries, system tradeoffs, and communicate them clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Mentor engineers, give substantive feedback, and be a go-to resource for technical judgment across the team.
Partner with Product and Design to shape scope and de-risk execution on high-ambiguity problems.
Work directly with our customers (financial advisors) to understand their workflows and bring that context into how you build.

Requirements

What you’ll need

5+ years of professional experience.
You use AI tools aggressively in your daily workflow: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and whatever else is useful. You're consistently ahead of the curve on what's emerging, and you translate that into concrete decisions: what to build with AI, how to build it reliably, and where it's not worth the complexity.
Track record of leading projects end-to-end with measurable business impact; you've taken ambiguous problems from 0 to production and held the quality bar throughout.
Strong full-stack or platform engineering depth; we use Rails, React, Next.js, PostgreSQL, and GraphQL; comfortable across the stack or with the depth to close gaps fast.
Strong system design instincts: data models, service boundaries, failure modes, and how systems hold up at scale.
Strong technical communication: you write clearly, give effective feedback, and collaborate well across functions in a startup environment.
