About this job

About the Role

A well-funded, early-stage fintech startup is looking for a Founding Product Engineer to join a small, senior team building a new kind of collaborative financial product. You'll have broad ownership across the stack, working directly with the founding team to ship high-quality, polished features for a consumer-facing application with a 40,000+ person waitlist.

What You'll Do

  • Design, develop, and deliver features, fixes, and improvements across the core product, marketing site, and internal tools.

  • Take end-to-end ownership of major product areas — such as debit card functionality or internal risk assessment tooling — from concept through launch.

  • Work closely with the founder, lead engineer, and designer to architect and implement solutions that delight users.

  • Build and wire up APIs across a full stack of React, TypeScript, Go, and PostgreSQL.

  • Leverage AI tools to accelerate development and contribute to a culture of high-quality engineering.

  • Help scale the product to meet rapidly growing consumer demand.

What We're Looking For

Required:

  • Strong proficiency in TypeScript (React) on the front end and comfort with Go on the back end.

  • Prior experience shipping and maintaining features for B2C / consumer-facing products.

  • Solid experience with PostgreSQL and Redis.

  • Familiarity with AWS, Terraform, and Docker for infrastructure and deployment.

  • Experience building and integrating REST or GraphQL APIs.

  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, early-stage startup environment with broad ownership.

Nice to Have:

  • Experience using AI coding assistants and prototyping tools to accelerate development.

  • Background in fintech, payments, or financial services.

  • Familiarity with tools like Slack, Linear, GitHub, and Figma.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Salary: $190,000 – $210,000 USD annually

  • Early-stage equity

  • Visa sponsorship is not available

Location

This is a hybrid role based in San Francisco, CA. Candidates in Los Angeles, CA or New York City, NY may also be considered. Remote-only candidates will not be considered at this time.
