Role Summary

We're looking for a Full Stack Software Engineer who enjoys building products, solving problems, and continuously learning.

You'll work closely with the CTO, Product team, and other engineers to build and improve software used by financial advisors every day.

This role combines hands-on development, product collaboration, and ownership of meaningful features and projects. You'll have the opportunity to expand your technical skills, deepen your product understanding, and grow your impact over time.

How We Work

We're a small team, and ownership matters more than titles.

Everyone contributes where needed. That might mean helping with QA, troubleshooting production issues, improving internal processes, or supporting a teammate. We care more about solving problems than protecting job descriptions.

The people who thrive at Encore are humble, curious, collaborative, and comfortable with ambiguity. They take initiative, enjoy learning, and are excited to make a visible impact on the business.

What You'll Do

Build what matters

Design, implement, and maintain product features with a focus on usability, reliability, and quality.

Learn through ownership

Own features and projects from implementation through deployment while partnering with teammates to deliver reliable, high-quality software.

Move fast with AI

Use modern AI development tools to accelerate coding, testing, research, and prototyping. Continuously explore new ways to improve productivity and quality.

Collaborate closely

Partner with Product, Design, and Engineering to understand customer needs and deliver meaningful improvements.

Improve the system

Contribute to testing, observability, performance, and developer tooling so the team can ship confidently and efficiently.

Grow continuously

Continue developing your technical expertise, product thinking, and understanding of customer needs while expanding your impact across the business.

You're Likely a Great Fit If You...
  • Have 4+ years of professional software development experience
  • Have experience in a startup, small-team, or entrepreneurial environment where ownership, initiative, and adaptability were expected (strongly preferred)
  • Have shipped and maintained production software
  • Have owned features from implementation through deployment
  • Enjoy solving problems and taking ownership of outcomes
  • Care about code quality, maintainability, and thoughtful engineering
  • Use AI development tools as part of your workflow
  • Communicate clearly and collaborate well with others
  • Are comfortable working across the stack and learning new technologies as needed
  • Proactively look for ways to improve the product, team, and engineering practices
  • Thrive in small teams where flexibility, initiative, and continuous learning are valued


Some Fine Print
  • Salary range: $100,000-$130,000, depending on experience
  • Competitive benefits
  • Fully remote within the U.S.
  • Primarily Pacific Time working hours
  • Tech stack: React, Mantine/Tailwind, Java/Kotlin, and Postgres
  • Reports directly to the CTO
