Job description

Overview

ROE is a hypergrowth startup in the SF Bay Area building Cursor for Financial Compliance. Today, ROE is trusted by multiple public companies representing $400B+ in combined market cap. Y Combinator, Google AI Ventures, Ardent Ventures, the CEO of Snowflake, and senior leaders from LinkedIn and top fintechs back us.

Responsibilities

• Build AI agent platform to serve risk and compliance in trillion dollar financial industry (don\'t worry if you don\'t know anything about finance)
• Build mission critical features for Fortune 500 customers
• Operate as one team: own problems end-to-end, review each other\'s code, and move quickly

What You Won’t Do

• Bureaucracy. No 3-month approvals to launch a feature.
• Politics. No fighting other teams for headcount or scope.
• Build for the void. We ship what customers actually need.

You may be a great fit if

• You’re a new grad hungry to learn, or an industry veteran tired of red tape and ready to bet on upside.
• You want to learn how to build a startup from the inside.
• You’re comfortable with: Python, Cursor, cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Azure), and agent frameworks.
• People describe you as obsessed, curious, and resourceful.

This role isn’t for you if

• You’re looking to rest & vest.
• You can’t commit to intense weeks (we sometimes run 6-day sprints).
• You’re not among the top 5% builders in your network.
• You can’t be in the office 3 days/week (hybrid in SF Bay Area).

Must Requirements

• 1-4 years of full-stack software development experience.
• If you have less than 2 years of experience, GPA >= 3.7
• Communicative

Perks & Benefits

• Epic offsites (e.g., Napa Valley Wine Train, speed sailing under the Golden Gate Bridge).
• Daily lunch stipend—order what you actually want.
• Medical, dental, vision, and standard insurance.
• Hybrid work: in-office collaboration + focused WFH days.
