About Us

We're a venture-backed startup headquartered in downtown Palo Alto, preparing for a public launch later in 2026. Backed by leading institutional investors and strategic angels, we're building a verified operating system designed to run at national scale. Our platform brings together digital identity, secure communication, modern money movement, and intelligence-driven services in a single system. Built on modern financial rails and applied AI, it supports real-world use cases such as payments, remittances, and digital services - designed for reliability, security, and scale. We're starting with deployments across markets where modern infrastructure meets real operational demand, and expanding globally from there. Initial institutional deployments are underway, with commercial agreements in place and revenue already being realized. If you're motivated by building durable systems and the next generation of digital infrastructure, we'd love to build with you.

The Opportunity

We're seeking Full Stack Engineers to help build and scale the core product experiences and systems that power our platform. This is a hands-on, high-impact role for engineers who enjoy owning problems end to end—from user experience through backend implementation—and thrive in fast-moving, ambiguous environments. You'll work closely with product, design, and infrastructure partners to design and deliver features that are intuitive for users while remaining secure, reliable, and scalable. Depending on experience, you may own major product areas, contribute to architectural decisions across the stack, and help shape engineering best practices as the team grows. This role offers the chance to apply strong engineering fundamentals across the full stack while retaining the speed, ownership, and impact of an early-stage startup. Scope and responsibility will be matched to experience, with clear room to grow.

What You Will Own

You'll take end-to-end ownership of meaningful product and technical areas, from initial design through production operation and iteration. Scope and ownership will scale with experience.

End-to-End Product Development

-Design, build, and maintain full-stack features spanning frontend (TypeScript, React) and backend services (Java, Spring Boot).
-Translate product requirements and user needs into thoughtful technical designs, balancing speed, quality, and long-term maintainability.
-Own features from concept to launch, including implementation, testing, deployment, and ongoing improvement.

Backend, APIs, and Data

-Design and implement backend services and APIs that support web and mobile clients with clarity, reliability, and scalability.
-Work with relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL) and caching layers (e.g., Redis) to deliver low-latency experiences.
-Collaborate across teams to define clean, evolvable API contracts and make informed tradeoffs around performance, cost, and data evolution.

Frontend & User Experience

-Build high-quality user-facing experiences across web and mobile using React, React Native, and Expo.
-Contribute to frontend and cross-platform architecture decisions, including state management, data-fetching patterns, and component design.
-Partner closely with product and design to deliver polished, accessible, and high-fidelity experiences.

Quality, Reliability, and Velocity

-Uphold high standards for code quality, testing (unit, integration, end-to-end), and system reliability.
-Participate in production support and incident response, troubleshooting issues across frontend, backend, and distributed systems.
-Use AI-assisted development tools to improve velocity, quality, and developer workflows.

Security & Trust

-Build systems with a strong security mindset, including secure coding practices, authentication and authorization flows, and data privacy.
-Help ensure systems handling sensitive data (PII, financial data) support auditability, access controls, and compliance awareness.
-Partner in vulnerability remediation, security reviews, and continuous system hardening.

Technical Leadership & Collaboration

-Review code, provide design feedback, and contribute to a culture of high engineering standards.
-Collaborate closely with cross-functional partners to align technical decisions with product and business goals.
-Help reinforce full-stack engineering best practices and a culture of ownership and continuous improvement.

What You Bring

Must have

-5+ years experience building and shipping production software, with impact across product-facing and backend systems. Scope and expectations will be matched to experience.
-Strong full-stack fundamentals, with experience in several of the following areas:
*Frontend: JavaScript/TypeScript and modern frameworks such as React
*Mobile: Experience with React Native (Expo a plus)
*Backend: Java with Spring Boot or similar backend frameworks
*APIs: Designing and consuming RESTful APIs
*Data: Relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL, Spanner) and caching systems (e.g., Redis)
-Solid understanding of system design principles, including performance, scalability, security, and maintainability.
-A strong product mindset, with the ability to reason about tradeoffs between user experience, technical complexity, and business impact.
-Experience troubleshooting production issues and contributing to reliable, well-tested systems.
-Comfort operating in ambiguity, taking initiative, and owning problems end to end in a fast-paced environment.
-AI Proficiency
*Strong comfort using AI-assisted development tools as part of your daily workflow, including code generation, refactoring, test creation, debugging, and documentation.
*Ability to apply AI tools to increase development velocity and code quality while exercising sound engineering judgment.
*Curiosity about emerging AI capabilities and a willingness to adapt workflows as tools and practices evolve.

Nice to have

-Exposure to event-driven architectures, NoSQL data stores, analytics platforms, or large-scale distributed systems.
-Experience with performance testing, load testing, or operating systems at scale.
