## About the role

We are hiring a founding engineer . This is not a normal engineering job. You will help decide what the company becomes, because the first technical decisions shape everything that follows. If you do this well, years from now large parts of the system will still look the way you designed them. You will be one of the first engineers. You will work directly with the founders. You will own real problems end to end. If you want to be part of a small, high-caliber team, this role is that.

## What they're looking for

- Build and ship product surfaces that make complex financial and legal structures understandable
- Develop high-quality interfaces using React, TypeScript, Golang
- Build agent-driven workflows for compliance, document generation, and asset movement
- Integrate with custodians, banks, and legacy financial systems
- And much more
- Have been a founder, early engineer, or technical lead at a strong startup
