Job description

The Role 

As a Staff Software Engineer at Farther, you'll be a technical leader who shapes how we build software. You'll drive architecture decisions, tackle our most complex challenges, and guide other engineers while remaining deeply hands-on.

We'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.

We 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.

We 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.

Your Impact 
  • Drive technical architecture decisions that shape the future of our platform
  • Lead the design and implementation of large-scale systems spanning frontend and backend
  • Establish engineering standards and best practices that scale across the organization
  • Champion adoption of AI tools across engineering teams - demonstrate how to leverage AI to multiply effectiveness and accelerate delivery
  • Tackle complex technical challenges in system design, scalability, reliability, and performance
  • Operate with significant autonomy - own major technical decisions and be accountable for architectural outcomes
  • Guide and mentor engineers through complex technical decisions
  • Drive technical excellence through code reviews, architecture reviews, and documentation
The Ideal Match 
  • 10+ years of software engineering experience with demonstrated ability to work across the full stack
  • Fluency with AI coding tools and passion for leveraging them strategically - you're already multiplying your output and want to help others do the same
  • Thrives with high autonomy and ownership - you want to drive technical strategy and own major architectural decisions without micromanagement
  • Track record of making significant technical decisions that positively impact engineering organizations
  • Outstanding communication - you explain complex concepts clearly and provide actionable updates
  • Builder mentality - you ship working software and iterate, not write specs endlessly
  • Tenacity to tackle difficult problems head-on
  • Self-directed and autonomous - you work independently on high-level guidance
  • Experience mentoring engineers and driving technical best practices
  • Track record of winning in multiple areas of your life
Bonus Points 
  • Experience building financial services, trading systems, or wealth management platforms
  • Background in high-availability system design and real-time data processing
  • Experience with event-driven architectures
  • Knowledge of financial regulatory requirements and compliance
Why Join Us
  • Competitive comp package that rewards impact
  • Work alongside some of the brightest minds in fintech
  • Ground-floor opportunity at a fast-scaling startup
  • Chart your own growth path as we expand
  • Full health benefits + 401(k) matching & Roth IRA options
  • Unlimited PTO
  • An amazing collaborative atmosphere between product, design, and engineering to solve hard problems together
