The OpportunityAs a Senior Software Engineer at Wealth.com, you will help design, build, and scale the backend systems powering our estate planning, tax planning, and AI-driven products used by tens of thousands of financial advisors and their clients. You'll work on a TypeScript-first stack alongside engineers who have shipped production software at scale, and you'll have significant ownership over the systems you build - from architecture and implementation through deployment, monitoring, and iteration.
We're hiring across multiple product areas (estate planning, tax planning, Ester AI, platform/integrations, Family Office Suite, and more) and will match strong engineers to the team where they're most excited to contribute.
Your Responsibilities- Design, build, and operate backend services that power Wealth.com's products - including APIs, data pipelines, and integrations with enterprise wealth management platforms
- Take features from spec through design, implementation, testing, deployment, and post-launch monitoring; own what you ship
- Write production-grade TypeScript code with strong testing, observability, and operational discipline
- Collaborate with product managers, designers, and other engineers to translate ambiguous problems into well-scoped technical solutions
- Contribute to system design decisions around scalability, reliability, security, and performance
- Participate in code review, technical design discussions, and on-call rotations as the team grows
- Help shape engineering culture, tooling, and best practices as we scale the org
Qualifications- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience shipping backend systems to production
- Strong proficiency in TypeScript, or deep experience in another typed language (Java, Go, C#, Kotlin, Rust) with demonstrated ability to ramp quickly into TypeScript
- Hands-on experience designing and operating systems at meaningful scale - handling real traffic, real data volumes, and real users
- Solid grasp of backend fundamentals: API design (REST/gRPC), relational and NoSQL databases, messaging/event-driven systems, caching, and concurrency
- Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure), containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and modern CI/CD workflows
- Production-grade operational mindset: logging, metrics, tracing, alerting, incident response, and a track record of supporting what you ship
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, ambiguous, startup environment where priorities shift and you're expected to drive your own work
- Strong written and verbal communication; able to collaborate across product, design, and other engineering teams
Bonus- Prior experience at an early or growth-stage startup, ideally one where you helped scale systems from early traction through significant growth
- Experience in fintech, wealth management, or other regulated environments (compliance, audit, PII handling)
- Background in AI/ML infrastructure, LLM-powered product development, or document processing (OCR, extraction pipelines)
- Experience integrating with enterprise platforms used by financial institutions (custodians, CRMs, portfolio management systems)
- Exposure to TypeScript ecosystem tools: Node.js, NestJS, tRPC, Prisma, PostgreSQL
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent practical experience
