Our hiring partner is a mission-driven company focused on expanding financial mobility for American workers, built on the values of trust, curiosity, resilience, and value. Their first product is a platform for broad-based equity plans—equity designed for the 99%, not just executives and top shareholders.

They’re hiring an engineering leader to take ownership of their backend systems and infrastructure and help scale the company. This role is ideal for someone who’s a seasoned, resourceful builder of early-stage products and teams. You'll lead implementation, make key architectural decisions, and drive engineering velocity. You’ll work closely with sales and product teams to scope, prioritize, and adapt as the business evolves.

Their codebase is maturing, and so is the team. Your role is to elevate both.

How They Use AI

• AI is embraced as a development accelerant. The team uses tools like Codex, Windsurf, and Loveable for prototyping and automation
• You’re expected to use AI effectively—for coding support, debugging, design decisions, and optimizing developer workflows. Knowing what to delegate and what not to is part of the craft
