Full Stack Engineer, Compound (remote)

San Francisco, CA
Engineering – Full-stack Development /
Have you ever been puzzles by personal finances, especially when it comes to startup founder and employee equity, options and such? Compound's product helps employees and founders manage their wealth, and the company is now looking to add a full stack engineer to their developer team. Here's what they say about this position:

At Compound, we help startup founders and employees optimize their wealth through a technology-powered family office (tracking, investing, equity, lending, estate, tax). This lets our clients focus on their passions instead of administrative distractions. We live at the intersection of machine and tax code. We merge experiences from Dropbox, YCombinator, ICONIQ, First Republic, and Uber to provide a high-quality client experience. We’re growing quickly and looking for kind, motivated people to join the team. 

One thing that makes building a company a potentially worthwhile endeavor is that companies are a-mortal; they have the potential to endure forever. The companies that earn the trust of the next generation of wealth will be orders of magnitude more successful than today’s largest financial institutions. Compound has the opportunity to project our values and ethos far into the future. 

Compound’s culture helps you maximize your effectiveness. 90% of your job is doing—speaking to customers and building products. We ruthlessly prioritize to protect your time and potential. 10% of your job is learning—you’ll work with exceptionally kind teammates who share an interest in growing together.
