• Build a world-class product used regularly by millions of people, figuring out what it takes to absorb household complexity around bills, insurance, subscriptions, and more.
• Work across two modes: building the product directly (new product lines, core improvements, experiments) and building multipliers (safe surfaces and shared tooling that let non-engineers ship without breaking things).
• Report directly to the CTO and be in the room for key architectural and product decisions, organised around small product squads of 5–7 people.
📋 Job Requirements
• Bring a minimum of 2 years of professional engineering experience.
• Own problems end to end, going from fuzzy pain to shipped fix to the numbers that show it worked, instinctively asking "what's the smallest thing we can ship to learn?".
• Think like a PM as much as an engineer, caring about the problem, the user, flow, UX, and even copy as much as correctness.
• Be a pragmatic builder who writes clean, practical code others can extend, knowing when to abstract and when to keep it brutally simple.
• Build leverage for other people by explaining complex things simply, pairing on gnarly problems, and leaving things clearer than you found them.
• Be motivated by the problem of fairness, money, and complexity made manageable for people who don't have time to fight the system themselves.
🌟 Nice-to-have
• Have experience with full-stack TypeScript, React, Postgres, and Temporal for long-running orchestration.
• Bring familiarity with AWS, Terraform, and observability tools such as Sentry and Datadog.
• Have experience with data tools such as Snowflake, dbt, Fivetran, Amplitude, or Segment.
• Have experience building agentic systems or AI-powered tooling.
• Bring experience working in fast-growing startups or 0-to-1 product environments.
🎯 Responsibilities
• Take end-to-end ownership of high-leverage areas of the codebase, from building out agentic capabilities to scaling service logic.
• Build new product lines and core product improvements, working with one or two others and moving fast from a rough plan.
• Build multipliers — safe surfaces and shared tooling that let non-engineers ship without breaking things.
• Work within small product squads with a single shared objective, shipping and learning fast.
• Contribute to the team's agentic and tooling harness that enables fast, reliable delivery.
• Shape architectural and product decisions alongside the CTO and engineering team.
