You'll drive architecture decisions, tackle our most complex challenges, and guide other engineers while remaining deeply hands-on.u003c/pu003enu003cpu003eWe're building an elite engineering team. We look for three things: deep technical expertise in your craft, high horsepower to rapidly context-switch across complex problems, and a track record of winning in multiple areas of your life.u003c/pu003enu003cpu003eWe give Staff engineers significant autonomy to drive technical strategy. You'll own major architectural decisions, establish engineering standards, and be accountable for technical outcomes. We trust you to make the right calls and measure success by the impact you create, not the process you follow.u003c/pu003enu003cpu003eWe expect technical leaders to champion AI adoption. As a Staff engineer, you'll demonstrate how to leverage AI tools to accelerate development, improve code quality, and multiply team effectiveness. You'll help the organization work smarter and ship faster by showing teams how AI can transform their workflow.u003c/pu003enu003ch3u003eYour Impactu0026nbsp;u003c/h3u003enu003culu003enu003cliu003eDrive technical architecture decisions that shape the future of our platformu003c/liu003enu003cliu003eLead the design and implementation of large-scale systems spanning frontend and backendu003c/liu003enu003cliu003eEstablish engineering standards and best practices that scale across the organizationu003c/liu003enu003cliu003eChampion adoption of AI tools across engineering teams - demonstrate how to leverage AI to multiply effectiveness and accelerate deliveryu003c/liu003enu003cliu003eTackle complex technical challenges in system design, scalability, reliability, and performanceu003c/liu003enu003cliu003eOperate with significant autonomy - own major technical decisions and be accountable for architectural outcomesu003c/liu003enu003cliu003eGuide and mentor engineers through complex technical decisionsu003c/liu003enu003cliu003eDrive technical excellence through code reviews, architecture reviews, and documentationu003c/liu003enu003c/ulu003enu003ch3u003eThe Ideal Matchu0026nbsp;u003c/h3u003enu003culu003enu003cliu003e10+ years of software engineering experience with demonstrated ability to work across the full stacku003c/liu003enu003cliu003eFluency with AI coding tools and passion for leveraging them strategically - you're already multiplying your output and want to help others do the sameu003c/liu003enu003cliu003eThrives with high autonomy and ownership - you want to drive technical strategy and own major architectural decisions without micromanagementu003c/liu003enu003cliu003eTrack record of making significant technical decisions that positively impact engineering organizationsu003c/liu003enu003cliu003eOutstanding communication - you explain complex concepts clearly and provide actionable updatesu003c/liu003enu003cliu003eBuilder mentality - you ship working software and iterate, not write specs endlesslyu003c/liu003enu003cliu003eTenacity to tackle difficult problems head-onu003c/liu003enu003cliu003eSelf-directed and autonomous - you work independently on high-level guidanceu003c/liu003enu003cliu003eExperience mentoring engineers and driving technical best practicesu003c/liu003enu003cliu003eTrack record of winning in multiple areas of your lifeu003c/liu003enu003c/ulu003enu003ch3u003eBonus Pointsu0026nbsp;u003c/h3u003enu003culu003enu003cliu003eExperience building financial services, trading systems, or wealth management platformsu003c/liu003enu003cliu003eBackground in high-availability system design and real-time data processingu003c/liu003enu003cliu003eExperience with event-driven architecturesu003c/liu003enu003cliu003eKnowledge of financial regulatory requirements and complianceu003c/liu003enu003c/ulu003enu003ch3u003eWhy Join Usu003c/h3u003enu003culu003enu003cliu003eCompetitive comp package that rewards impactu003c/liu003enu003cliu003eWork alongside some of the brightest minds in fintechu003c/liu003enu003cliu003eGround-floor opportunity at a fast-scaling startupu003c/liu003enu003cliu003eChart your own growth path as we expandu003c/liu003enu003cliu003eFull health benefits + 401(k) matching u0026amp; Roth IRA optionsu003c/liu003enu003cliu003eUnlimited PTOu003c/liu003enu003cliu003eAn amazing collaborative atmosphere between product, design, and engineering to solve hard problems togetheru003c/liu003enu003c/ulu003enu003ch3u003e Want to learn more about building the future of wealth tech at Farther?
