Real business, not hypeThis is infrastructure for private capital. The platform monitors over 20 trillion in AUM. These are real customers with real money making real decisions. You are not optimizing clicks. You are building systems that institutional investors rely on.2. Growth tied to expansion, not churnThey are expanding from private equity into private credit. That means new workflows, new data models, new product surface area. These hires are net new. Not backfills. No engineer turnover last year.3. High ownership in a small teamAbout 43 engineers. You will not be engineer 4,000 in a giant org. You will own projects end to end. Architecture decisions matter. Your code ships. Your tradeoffs count.4. True full stack roleThis is not front end only. Not back end only. It is real 50 50. TypeScript, Node, Postgres, GraphQL, React, React Query. You design schemas. You write APIs. You build UI. You think about system design.5. Stability without bureaucracyBacked. Established since 2016. But still small enough to move fast. That is the sweet spot most engineers say they want but rarely find.6. Real technical barLive coding. System design. They care about engineering quality. If you are strong, that is a feature, not a bug.7. Remote with actual connectionRemote friendly. 3 team weeks per year in Brooklyn, travel covered. Enough in person time to build real relationships without living in an office.Nigel
