Job description

• This is an early-career role for an engineer who wants to grow quickly on a production system where quality matters and the regulatory stakes are real
• As a Software Engineer 1, your job is to build and ship. You will work across our TypeScript/Node back end and React front end, starting with small, clearly defined pieces of work and taking on more as your understanding of the system grows
• You will have a dedicated onboarding buddy, a team lead who meets with you weekly, and teammates who pair with you rather than leaving you to figure it out alone
• Ship work across the stack, from bug fixes and small features to test coverage and tech debt, with support from senior engineers
• Use AI coding tools as a default part of your workflow, and review what they produce with the same rigor you would apply to your own code
• Trace real requests end-to-end (front end, API, services, database) and build a working mental model of how custody, clearing, and trading fit together
• Participate in code review, first as a learner asking questions, then as a reviewer who catches edge cases and test gaps
• Take part in all scrum ceremonies: refinement, sprint kick-off, standup, demos, and retro
• Work directly with Product, QA, and UX to clarify requirements, reproduce bugs, and ask design questions
• Investigate and resolve QA/UAT issues, pairing when you need to
• Fully remote engineering. We work together in real time, with overlapping hours for pairing, reviews, and ceremonies
• AI-forward. We actively champion AI and tooling that ships customer value faster without giving up quality. Engineers at every level are expected to use these tools well and to bring what they find back to the team
• Feedback is specific and regular. Quarterly reviews, weekly 1:1s, and a candid conversation when something is not landing, not a surprise at year end
• Product-led mindset. We measure work by its impact on customers, not volume shipped

Benefits

• Health, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance
• 401k plan
• Competitive vacation time
• Time off for observed federal holidays
• Paid sick days
• Stock options
