About the role
Savvy is hiring our first dedicated developer experience engineer. Coding agents are already part of how our engineers work, but adoption has moved faster than our ability to make their output consistently good. Wrong code and weak architectural decisions still create review burden. We are hiring someone to treat that as an engineering problem, not solve it with a longer prompt.
What they're looking for
- Internal tools with real users: You have built developer tooling or a platform that engineers beyond your immediate team relied on. You learned from their behavior and support burden, not only from what they said they wanted
- CI or large-codebase experience: You have made a meaningful improvement to CI, testing, repository workflows, or developer productivity in a substantial, long-lived codebase
- Product judgment for internal systems: You can interview developers, separate symptoms from root causes, turn evidence into a roadmap, and say no to attractive work that will not improve the system
- Strong software engineering: You have built and operated substantial production software. We are open on language and framework, but you must be able to move from diagnosis to a durable implementation yourself
- Evaluation over intuition: You know that agent behavior is nondeterministic and changing quickly. You compare prompts, context, tools, models, and workflows against representative tasks rather than declaring success from a demo
- Cross-team influence: You can set standards and change defaults across teams without becoming a gatekeeper. You explain the evidence, earn trust, and remain accountable for the experience you create
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...
