You understand the design tradeoffs (prompt reliability, latency, cost, failure modes) not just the happy path. * Strong full-stack or platform engineering depth: we use Rails, React, Next.js, PostgreSQL, and GraphQL; you're comfortable across the stack or have the engineering depth to close gaps fast. * Strong system design instincts: you think carefully about 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., * Fintech domain knowledge: financial services, wealth management, regulatory compliance, or financial data integrations. * Experience with LLM evaluation frameworks (RAGAs, LangSmith, custom harnesses) and a systematic approach to measuring reliability. * Experience with vector databases, embedding pipelines, or retrieval-augmented generation at production scale. * Modern development ecosystem fluency: macOS toolchains, CI/CD pipelines, IaaS (AWS/GCP), and observability platforms (Datadog, Honeycomb, etc.). ## Description Savvy is hiring a Senior Engineer to lead the design and delivery of complex product and platform work. Our platform is where AI meets fiduciary advice, and the senior engineers who build it don't just use AI to go faster, they make decisions about where AI belongs in the system, how to build it reliably, and how to raise the team's ability to do the same. You'll own end-to-end delivery of high-impact projects, establish engineering patterns for the team, and help define how our platform evolves as we scale., * 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, Codex, Cursor) 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., As a Senior Engineer on the Technical Staff team, you will own the design and delivery of complex features and systems, establish best practices, and lead projects end-to-end with minimal direction. * Lead medium-to-large projects from scoping through production: define the approach, manage dependencies, and communicate progress clearly to stakeholders. * Make good architectural decisions across product and platform work - and document them in a way that the team can learn from. * Raise code and system quality through design reviews, RFCs, and strong testing and observability standards. * Stay consistently ahead of the curve on AI tooling and model capabilities. Be able to translate this into concrete decisions: what to build with AI, how to build it reliably, and where it's not worth the complexity. * Mentor engineers on technical and product judgment as they develop. * Has strong product instincts and exercises them: engineers at Savvy own outcomes, not just tasks. ## Related Videos - [Watch Tests Go Brrrr! : Getting Started with Cypress in ReactJS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/282-watch-tests-go-brrrr-getting-started-with-cypress-in-reactjs) - [Debugging in the Dark](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1658-debugging-in-the-dark) - [GraphQL + Apollo + Next.js: A Lovely Trio](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/311-graphql-apollo-next-js-a-lovely-trio) - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [Software Engineering Social Connection: Yubo’s lean approach to scaling an 80M-user infrastructure](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1583-software-engineering-social-connection-yubo-s-lean-approach-to-scaling-an-80m-user-infrastructure) - [Coffee with Developers - Maria Apazoglou](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1209-coffee-with-developers-maria-apazoglou) ## Related Articles - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [Find a Developer Job: 12 Best Job Sites For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/165-find-a-developer-job-12-best-job-sites-for-developers) - [Dev Digest 137 - AI'm not sure about this](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/485-dev-digest-137-ai-m-not-sure-about-this) - [The Fastest-Growing Tech Sectors to Look Out for in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/373-the-fastest-growing-tech-sectors-to-look-out-for-in-2025)
