Job description

Company Description

Farther is a rapidly growing RIA that combines expert advisors with cutting‑edge technology - delivering a comprehensive, tailored wealth management experience.

Farther’s founders are leaders and innovators from the private wealth industry who possess a unique blend of traditional wealth management, fintech, and technology production expertise. We’re backed by top‑tier venture capital firms, fintech investors, and industry leaders.

Joining Farther means joining a collaborative team of entrepreneurs who are passionate about helping their clients and our teammates achieve more. If you’re the type who breaks through walls to get things done the right way, we want to build the future of wealth management with you.

The Role

As a Senior Mobile Engineer at Farther, you’ll build exceptional mobile experiences that serve both our advisors and clients. Working with React Native, Expo, and TypeScript, you’ll ship features that directly impact how wealth management works - from client onboarding to portfolio management to advisor tools.

You’ll join our mobile engineering team working on core product features and roadmap delivery. We’re hiring as part of an exciting initiative: we’re creating a Forward Deployed Engineering team where our top engineers rotate to work directly with advisors on urgent challenges. As senior engineers rotate onto that team, you’ll help maintain the momentum on critical mobile features. Once you’ve ramped up and gained context on our platform (typically 3‑6 months), you may have the opportunity to rotate onto the Forward Deployed team yourself.

Your Impact

• Build and ship mobile features across iOS and Android using React Native and TypeScript
• Create high-performance mobile interfaces for complex financial workflows
• Work closely with product managers, designers, and backend engineers to deliver complete experiences
• Contribute to mobile architecture decisions and establish patterns that scale
• Build reusable mobile components and improve our mobile infrastructure
• Mentor other engineers on mobile best practices and React Native development
• Participate in code reviews and drive technical excellence across the team
• Take ownership of significant mobile features from design through deployment
• Ensure mobile experiences meet the quality bar our advisors and clients expect
• Contribute to the development of our cutting-edge, agentic-based, software manufacturing pipeline.
• Future opportunity: Rotate onto the Forward Deployed team to work directly with advisors and solve time‑sensitive mobile challenges

The Ideal Match

• 6+ years of mobile development experience, with at least 3 years in React Native
• Strong proficiency in TypeScript/JavaScript and modern mobile development practices
• Experience with both iOS and Android platforms
• Deep understanding of mobile architecture, state management, and performance optimization
• Experience building complex, data-intensive mobile applications
• Product-focused mindset - excited about shipping features that solve real user problems
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Proven ability to work autonomously and drive projects from idea to completion
• Track record of delivering high-quality mobile experiences on schedule
• Experience mentoring other engineers
• Collaborative mindset and ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams
• Excited about contributing to a fast-growing fintech company

Bonus Points

• Experience in fintech or financial services mobile applications
• Native iOS or Android development background
• Knowledge of mobile security best practices and compliance requirements
• Previous consulting or customer-facing technical roles
• Experience with financial data visualization in mobile contexts
• Background in rapid prototyping or startup environments
• Familiarity with offline-first mobile architectures
• Experience with mobile CI/CD and testing frameworks
• Interest in eventually rotating onto the Forward Deployed team

Why Join Us

• Competitive comp package that rewards impact
• Work alongside some of the brightest minds in fintech
• Ground-floor opportunity at a fast-scaling startup
• Chart your own growth path as we expand
• Full health benefits + 401(k) matching & Roth IRA options
• Unlimited PTO
• An amazing collaborative atmosphere between product, design, and engineering to solve hard problems together
