About the Role

A well-funded, early-stage fintech startup is looking for a Founding Product Engineer to join a small, senior team building a new kind of collaborative financial product.

Design, develop, and deliver features, fixes, and improvements across the core product, marketing site, and internal tools.
Take end-to-end ownership of major product areas — such as debit card functionality or internal risk assessment tooling — from concept through launch.
Work closely with the founder, lead engineer, and designer to architect and implement solutions that delight users.
Build and wire up APIs across a full stack of React, TypeScript, Go, and PostgreSQL.
Leverage AI tools to accelerate development and contribute to a culture of high-quality engineering.
Help scale the product to meet rapidly growing consumer demand.

What We're Looking For

Required:

Strong proficiency in TypeScript (React) on the front end and comfort with Go on the back end.
Prior experience shipping and maintaining features for B2C / consumer-facing products.
Solid experience with PostgreSQL and Redis.
Familiarity with AWS, Terraform, and Docker for infrastructure and deployment.
Experience building and integrating REST or GraphQL APIs.
Comfortable working in a fast-paced, early-stage startup environment with broad ownership.

Nice to Have:

Experience using AI coding assistants and prototyping tools to accelerate development.
Background in fintech, payments, or financial services.
Familiarity with tools like Slack, Linear, GitHub, and Figma.
