### About the Role
Join a lean, four-person engineering team at a fast-growing **Series A fintech startup** building an AI-powered investing platform targeted at the next generation of investors. With millions of downloads and a rapidly scaling user base, this is a high-ownership, hands-on role at a critical inflection point in the company's growth.
You'll own the technical foundation across iOS, Node.js backend services, and AWS infrastructure — reporting directly to the Head of Engineering from our **New York City office**. Visa sponsorship is available.
### What You'll Do
* Lead deep investigations into complex production issues spanning iOS, backend services, and cloud infrastructure.
* Perform root-cause analysis across API layers, async workflows, data models, third-party integrations, and infrastructure.
* Improve backend service reliability, correctness, and performance in **Node.js and TypeScript**.
* Optimize **MongoDB** queries, indexes, and data access patterns for performance at scale.
* Strengthen AWS infrastructure stability across Elastic Beanstalk, EC2, deployments, and monitoring.
* Improve observability using structured logging, metrics, and CloudWatch.
* Reduce recurring bug classes by improving validation layers, error handling, and system boundaries.
* Strengthen CI/CD and release processes to reduce production risk.
* Build internal tools and scripts that improve debugging efficiency and engineering velocity.
* Partner closely with product and engineering to drive platform-level improvements.
### What We're Looking For
**Required:**
* 3–7+ years of engineering experience, including time at a startup and exposure to systems at scale.
* Strong production debugging skills — able to trace issues across iOS, backend, database, and AWS layers.
* Deep experience building and improving backend services in **Node.js and TypeScript**.
* Solid understanding of **MongoDB** performance, indexing, and data modeling.
* Hands-on experience operating and optimizing systems in AWS environments.
* High ownership mentality with clear, structured communication in fast-moving environments.
* Based in or willing to relocate to **New York City**.
**Nice to Have:**
* Comfort navigating and contributing to **Swift and SwiftUI** codebases.
* Background in fintech or payments.
* Strong CS fundamentals.
### Compensation & Benefits
* **Salary:** $170,000 – $220,000 per year
* Equity participation in a well-funded, high-growth fintech startup
* Visa sponsorship available
### Location
This is an **on-site role based in New York City, NY**. Candidates must be located in NYC or willing to relocate.
