About the role
Savvy is hiring engineers who want to start a company someday. This is an engineering role for people who want to understand customers (you can DM our customers on Slack!), help decide what’s worth building (road mapping, prototyping, building, shipping), and take responsibility for the results (own company-level OKRs yourself). You’ll join a high energy team that uses AI aggressively to build, experiment & ship. You’ll work directly with financial advisors and operations teams across Savvy.
What they're looking for
- Evidence that you build things. We'll be looking for side projects, attempts at launching businesses, startup accelerator applications, etc
- Solid AI-enabled engineering fundamentals. You can wield AI to write and debug code. You don’t need to know our entire stack -- Codex and Claude can teach you
- High agency and follow-through. When you encounter something unclear or broken, you investigate, ask useful questions, propose a path forward, and see it through. You know when to work independently and when to bring others in
- Desire to build a business. You want to understand who the customer is, why a problem matters, and how solving it creates enterprise value
- A collaborative & coachable approach. You communicate clearly, seek feedback early, change your mind when the evidence warrants it. You care more about the business impact than the path to get there
More about this role
Wealth management is a $545 billion industry that still runs on manual work. 75% of advisors offer no digital communication beyond email, and most still build financial plans by hand in Excel. Savvy is reinventing what it looks like to be a financial advisor. Founder Ritik Malhotra saw the fragmentation firsthand after seeking out his own advisor, and started Savvy to give independent advisors a modern, AI-native home.
Savvy is a registered investment advisor (RIA), and we partner with experienced financial advisors who want to grow without running the back office themselves. Advisors bring their book and join Savvy, running under their own brand (or ours), and Savvy earns a percentage of the assets they manage. In return, they get a true business-in-a-box: a proprietary tech platform and client portal, an in-house marketing team that helps them grow, a world-class investment management team, and a dedicated client services team that runs day-to-day operations and support. Advisors at Savvy service up to 50% more households and save 19 hours a week.
AI runs through everything we do. On the product side, Savvy Intelligence (released April 2026) is the only AI built for wealth...
