Founded in 2019 and backed by top-tier venture capital firms, Farther caters to high-net-worth professionals who need a more holistic approach to managing their money.

Job Description

As a Senior Typescript Full-stack Engineer at Farther, you will be part of the Product, Design, and Engineering team, a wealth-tech firm backed by top-tier VCs including Lightspeed, Bessemer, and Khosla. With 4x year-over-year growth and over $3 billion assets under management in just under 4 years, we continue to scale quickly both in growth and product features as we assist individuals and families in growing their wealth and achieving financial security.

You will have full-stack ownership of multiple domains and all associated products; spanning from the user interface to the data layer. This includes responsibility for all levels of a product, such as CRUD APIs, asynchronous RPC handlers, and AWS infrastructure. You will contribute to the development of new features and product improvements for our web application, which is built using React, TypeScript, Bun, and CockroachDB. You will play a pivotal role in shaping and influencing new features at all stages, working closely with product, design, and other engineering teams. Your input will be crucial from UI design to API design to component hierarchy.

Responsibilities

• Be a product-focused software engineer, prioritizing the quick delivery of exceptional user experiences.
• Develop features that are well-balanced, avoiding both over- and under-engineering, with an emphasis on frequent and tidy releases.
• Leverage Typescript to create high-quality, strictly-typed code, that allows fearless refactoring.
• Draft and review specification documents for new features.
• Translate designs and wireframes into screens and components, collaborating closely with design and product teams to optimize for ease of development and rapid delivery.
• Develop backends for features, including domain modeling, data layer design, HTTP endpoint implementation, and handling asynchronous messaging.
• Write automated tests to ensure the highest product quality.
• Build and maintain abstractions, patterns, and internal libraries, staying updated with changes and improvements in TypeScript, JavaScript, and our major libraries.

What We Look For

• Experience: 7+ years of building typescript-based apps in production as a full-stack developer.
• Grit: Exude long-term passion and perseverance.
• Bias for action: Enjoying a fast paced environment where you ship multiple times a day and focus on what's best for the user.
• Embracing of change: As a startup we often make calculated changes from dev ops changes to framework changes to language changes.
• Active communication: From a bias towards writing to keeping on top of Slack we expect active and pro-active communication throughout the day.

Benefits

• Everything you need to build the perfect dev station from hardware to software.
• An amazing collaborative atmosphere between product, design, and engineering to solve hard problems together.
• Opportunity to work with a talented team of professionals.
• Drive the success of a venture-backed, rapidly growing firm.
• Competitive salary and benefits package including health, vision, and dental.
• Equity package.
