About the role
Nova is building the banking and payments network for private markets. Funds, fund administrators, and their investors use its software to manage subscriptions, capital calls, and distributions. Today, Nova supports $1.2B+ in deposits, $100M+ in weekly transfers across six bank integrations, and ~150k verified investors. These are some of the highest-stakes moments in the private markets. Fund managers, investors, and administrators are moving real money and expect every detail to be right.
What they're looking for
- 2+ years of engineering management experience, including hiring, developing, and getting the best work from engineers
- A record of shipping and scaling customer-facing products, ideally in complex domains where quality is critical. You care about the user experience and pay attention to the details
- Experience building in an environment with high stakes and strict compliance requirements, where every detail matters. Experience with fintech, payments, or identity and KYC is a bonus
- Experience with a modern TypeScript stack, or the ability to learn it quickly
- Good startup judgment. You're comfortable with ambiguity and add enough process to help the team without over-building it
More about this role
Private markets are the new public markets. The most important companies of this era are private, and almost no one can own them. What's missing is the financial system public markets spent a century building: exchanges, custodians, brokers, and ways for ordinary people to buy in. Private markets, now $28T, never had the equivalent. AngelList is building it.
The last decade of structural innovation in venture happened here: syndicates, SPVs at scale, Rolling Funds, scout programs. Today we have $200B+ in assets and 30,000+ startups funded on our platform. The rest of private markets is next. Funds is the software and services behind private funds, Nova is the banking network, Meridian is the wealth platform for accredited investors, and USVC is the brand behind a registered fund that lets anyone invest in venture.
Working here means an unusual amount of agency on a problem that matters. Titles are closer to suggestions, and there are about 200 of us building what private markets never had. Come build it with us.
