Software Engineer
About the role
Software Engineer (Fintech AI Start-up)
$110,000–$160,000 + Meaningful Equity + Medical, Dental & Vision + Unlimited PTO
Austin, TX | Fully Onsite
Are you a full-stack engineer from a credible start-up background looking to make the move to a solid, YC and top-tier VC-backed start-up that is solving a genuine problem?
Incredible opportunity to join a well-established, revenue-generating, highly collaborative start-up that boasts a rock-star development team and the chance to take meaningful equity within a growing business where you will have a massive impact.
Established for a few years now and growing organically, they are building something that will last and are quickly becoming a market leader within the payments industry. Boasting a strong team in downtown Austin, they are looking for their next batch of engineers to grow within the team.
The environment is built around a modern AWS Serverless environment, with Python on the back end and React and TypeScript on the front end, with some mobile development using Flutter. However, they genuinely see development languages as tools and are quite code-agnostic.
This is a great chance to join a company that isn’t just about the tech stack and AI, but more so about joining a business that solves a real-world problem within a high-performing, like-minded culture.
