About the Role:

Meridian is AngelList's wealth platform for private markets. Meridian is building wealth products for the growing class of self-directed investors who want unique and direct access to private markets.

Built on more than a decade of AngelList innovation, Meridian extends the platform that already supports founders and fund managers to serve investors now. Meridian is early, and this role presents an opportunity to help shape the next generation of products for private market investing.

As a Senior Software Engineer on Meridian, you'll own the technical design and delivery of major product surfaces across investing and portfolio management, from early architecture and sequencing tradeoffs through launch and iteration. This is a founding engineer role on a zero-to-one product with meaningful distribution, regulatory complexity, and infrastructure leverage. You'll work closely with product, design, compliance, and supply to shape what private market investing feels like for the next decade.

We're also hiring a Founding Engineer for our new USVC product, and we will consider you for both

You will have the opportunity to:

• Build a category-defining wealth platform for private markets
• Work on a 0 to 1 product with real distribution and infrastructure advantages from AngelList
• Drive high-leverage engineering decisions early, shaping the architecture and quality bar on which Meridian will scale
• Ship features that meaningfully increase investor engagement and investment volume
• Collaborate as part of a small founding team, partnering closely with product, design, supply, legal, and compliance
• Develop deep fluency in private market investing workflows and the constraints of building regulated, high-trust financial products

You most likely have:

• 6+ years of experience building meaningful web applications
• Experience owning large product surfaces from scratch in a 0-1 environment
• Full-stack generalist or frontend specialist with working proficiency across the stack to unblock yourself
• Strong technical judgment-you understand tradeoffs and aren't afraid to voice your opinions and make fast decisions
• Experience building foundational systems, making architecture and sequencing decisions with long-term impact, and building software for two-sided marketplaces or in a regulatory domain
• High ownership mindset, bias toward action, and comfort pushing back and debating technical decisions with a cross-functional team
• Deep curiosity about venture capital, financial infrastructure and empowering builders (https://venturehacks.com/save-the-world)
