Job Description
Role Overview

As 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.

What You Will Do

Design, build, and operate backend services that power Wealth.com's products, including APIs, data pipelines, and integrations with enterprise wealth management platforms.

Why It Might Be a Fit

You'll have significant ownership over the systems you build, and work in a collaborative and supportive environment that fosters innovation and makes Wealth.com a truly enjoyable workplace.

Requirements

  • 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

Benefits

  • Competitive Salary
  • Hybrid in the NYC Office (3x a week)
  • Excellent Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance options

  • Company equity managed through Carta
  • 401k with Match and 100% vesting upon hire
  • Flexible PTO in an environment where taking time off to relax or recharge is supported and encouraged
  • Take time off for holidays—and yes, your birthday counts too. Celebrate, relax, and recharge without thinking twice.
  • Free estate planning for life!
