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 to $245,000 USD, depending on experience
Equity participation
Flexible work arrangements, including remote and hybrid options
401(k) plan
Flexible vacation policy

Why is This 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
They are expanding from private equity into private credit. That means new workflows, new data models, new product surface area. These hires are net new. Not backfills. No engineer turnover last year.
3. High ownership in a small team
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 not front end only. Not back end only. It is real 50 50. TypeScript, Node, Postgres, GraphQL, React, React Query. You design schemas. You write APIs. You build UI. You think about system design.
5. Stability without bureaucracy
Backed. 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
Live coding. 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. 3 team weeks per year in Brooklyn, travel covered. Enough in person time to build real relationships without living in an office.
