## About the Role

* 3+ years of professional software engineering experience shipping Back End systems to production
 * Strong proficiency in TypeScript, or deep experience in another typed language (Java, Go, C#, Kotlin, Rust) with demonstrated ability to ramp quickly into TypeScript
 * Hands-on experience designing and operating systems at meaningful scale - handling real traffic, real data volumes, and real users
 * Solid grasp of Back End fundamentals: API design (REST/gRPC), relational and NoSQL databases, messaging/event-driven systems, caching, and concurrency
 * Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure), containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and modern CI/CD workflows
 * Production-grade operational mindset: logging, metrics, tracing, alerting, incident response, and a track record of supporting what you ship
 * Comfortable working in a fast-paced, ambiguous, startup environment where priorities shift and you're expected to drive your own work
 * Strong written and verbal communication; able to collaborate across product, design, and other engineering teams

Bonus

 * Prior experience at an early or growth-stage startup, ideally one where you helped scale systems from early traction through significant growth
 * Experience in fintech, wealth management, or other regulated environments (compliance, audit, PII handling)
 * Background in AI/ML infrastructure, LLM-powered product development, or document processing (OCR, extraction pipelines)
 * Experience integrating with enterprise platforms used by financial institutions (custodians, CRMs, portfolio management systems)
 * Exposure to TypeScript ecosystem tools: Node.js, NestJS, tRPC, Prisma, PostgreSQL
 * Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent practical experience

## Description

* Design, build, and operate Back End services that power Wealth.com's products - including APIs, data pipelines, and integrations with enterprise wealth management platforms
 * Take features from spec through design, implementation, testing, deployment, and post-launch monitoring; own what you ship
 * Write production-grade TypeScript code with strong testing, observability, and operational discipline
 * Collaborate with product managers, designers, and other engineers to translate ambiguous problems into well-scoped technical solutions
 * Contribute to system design decisions around scalability, reliability, security, and performance
 * Participate in code review, technical design discussions, and on-call rotations as the team grows
 * Help shape engineering culture, tooling, and best practices as we scale the org
