How GPs manage their funds, investors invest in startups, and capital moves between them. Backed by GV.
About the role
Nova is building the banking and payments network for private markets. Fund managers, fund administrators, and investors use our software to manage subscriptions, capital calls, and distributions. Nova currently supports $1.2B+ in deposits, $100M+ in weekly transfers across six bank integrations, and ~150k verified investors. These transactions are among the highest-stakes moments in private markets. Customers move real money and expect every detail to be correct.
What they're looking for
- 3+ years building backend or full-stack web applications, including meaningful experience with complex, quality-critical products where correctness matters to users
- Senior-level impact. You've owned significant features or systems from an ambiguous problem through launch and operation, and your team relies on you to get difficult work right in your area
- A record of shipping sophisticated product surfaces and improving their reliability and quality
- Strong architecture and data-modeling skills. You can model complex, evolving business domains and keep systems maintainable as they grow
- Fluency in a modern TypeScript stack, or clear evidence that you'll ramp quickly. You're comfortable with a GraphQL API, PostgreSQL, and workflow orchestration with Temporal
- Comfort working in a startup environment. You can handle ambiguity and maintain quality while keeping pace with a lean team that ships quickly
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.
