đź“‹ Description
- • Are you a visionary builder, a meticulous operator, or a strategic thinker passionate about revolutionizing the financial technology landscape? Column is seeking exceptional individuals to join our groundbreaking team as we redefine the future of banking infrastructure. We are not just another fintech company; we are a bank and a software company built from the ground up, designed to empower builders and developers with technology-forward banking solutions. Our mission is to dismantle the complex, costly, and often opaque banking supply chain that currently hinders innovation, creating a simpler, safer, and more transparent ecosystem for financial technology.
- • At Column, we understand the frustrations of developers and companies trying to integrate with traditional banking systems. The current model involves a convoluted network of banks, BaaS middleware providers, core banking systems, and numerous other vendors, creating significant friction and expense. We've experienced this firsthand, having founded and scaled successful companies like Plaid, Square, Meta, Blend, and Affirm. This deep understanding has fueled our commitment to building a unified, streamlined solution. We offer a direct path from builders to the Federal Reserve, eliminating unnecessary layers and empowering our partners with unparalleled speed, flexibility, and cost-efficiency.
- • As a member of the Column team, you will be at the forefront of this financial revolution. You will have the opportunity to shape the future of banking infrastructure, working with cutting-edge technology and collaborating with a team of seasoned entrepreneurs and innovators. We are looking for individuals who are not afraid to challenge the status quo, who possess a strong sense of ownership, and who are driven by a desire to make a tangible impact. Whether your expertise lies in engineering, product development, operations, compliance, or business strategy, your contributions will be instrumental in our success.
- • We are building a company that is both a bank and a software company, a unique proposition that allows us to offer unparalleled control and innovation. This dual nature means we can provide bespoke solutions, faster iteration cycles, and a level of transparency rarely seen in the financial services industry. You will be part of a culture that values deep technical expertise, a pragmatic approach to problem-solving, and a relentless focus on customer needs. We encourage collaboration across disciplines, fostering an environment where ideas can flourish and where every team member feels empowered to contribute their best work.
- • Your role will involve contributing to the core of our banking platform, developing new features, enhancing existing systems, and ensuring the reliability and scalability of our infrastructure. You will work closely with product managers, designers, and other engineers to translate complex requirements into elegant, robust solutions. We are committed to building a platform that is not only powerful and efficient but also secure and compliant with all relevant regulations. This is an opportunity to leave your mark on a company that is fundamentally changing how financial technology is built and deployed.
- • We are building a team that reflects the diversity of the world we serve. We believe that a variety of perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences leads to stronger solutions and a more vibrant workplace. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to bring their authentic selves to work. If you are excited by the prospect of solving complex problems, building innovative financial products, and working with a passionate and talented team, we encourage you to apply. We are particularly interested in hearing why you are drawn to Column and what specific role you envision yourself excelling in. Forget the traditional resume; share your LinkedIn, GitHub, or a similar profile that showcases your skills and experience. We are eager to learn about your journey and how you can contribute to our mission.
- • This is more than just a job; it's an opportunity to be part of a movement. You will be instrumental in building the financial infrastructure of tomorrow, enabling countless innovators to bring their ideas to life. We are looking for individuals who are not just looking for a role, but for a mission. Join us at Column and help us build a better, more accessible financial future for everyone. We are open to remote candidates for exceptional individuals, though we are primarily hiring locally in the San Francisco Bay Area. We appreciate every application and are committed to reviewing each one carefully. We look forward to hearing from you and exploring how your talents can help us achieve our ambitious goals.
- • The specific responsibilities and day-to-day tasks will vary depending on the role you are hired for, but will generally involve:
- • Contributing to the design, development, and implementation of our core banking platform and associated APIs.
- • Collaborating with cross-functional teams to define product requirements and technical specifications.
- • Writing clean, maintainable, and well-tested code.
- • Participating in code reviews and providing constructive feedback.
- • Troubleshooting and debugging issues across the platform.
- • Ensuring the security, scalability, and reliability of our systems.
- • Staying up-to-date with the latest industry trends and technologies.
- • Contributing to a culture of innovation and continuous improvement.
- • This role offers a unique opportunity to work on challenging problems at the intersection of finance and technology, with a direct impact on the growth and success of our company and our partners. We are building something truly special, and we want you to be a part of it.
🎯 Requirements
- • Proven experience in software development, with a strong understanding of backend systems, APIs, and database technologies. Experience in financial services or fintech is a significant plus.
- • Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to think critically and analytically.
- • Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in a remote team environment.
- • A proactive and self-motivated attitude, with a passion for building innovative solutions and a desire to learn and grow.

- • Experience with modern programming languages and frameworks relevant to backend development (e.g., Python, Go, Java, Node.js).
🏖️ Benefits
- • Competitive salary and equity compensation.
- • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance.
- • Generous paid time off and holidays.
