Full Job Description
đź“‹ Description
- • Lead the design and delivery of complex product and platform work for Savvy's AI-native home for financial advisors.
- • Establish engineering patterns and standards for the team, including how to build, test, observe, and iterate across both product and platform work.
- • Apply and champion AI tooling (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) to accelerate your own output and raise the team's velocity.
- • Drive architectural decisions (data models, service boundaries, system tradeoffs) and communicate them clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- • Mentor engineers, give substantive feedback, and be a go-to resource for technical judgment across the team.
- • Partner with Product and Design to shape scope and de-risk execution on high-ambiguity problems.
- • Work directly with our customers (financial advisors) to understand their workflows and bring that context into how you build.
🎯 Requirements
- • Track record of leading projects end-to-end with measurable business impact: you've taken ambiguous problems from 0 to production and held the quality bar throughout.
- • Hands-on experience incorporating AI into products or systems you've shipped: you apply tools like Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor aggressively in your own workflow. You understand the design tradeoffs (prompt reliability, latency, cost, failure modes) not just the happy path.
- • Strong infrastructure/platform engineering depth: Modern development ecosystem fluency: CI/CD pipelines, IaaS (AWS/GCP), and observability platforms (Datadog, Honeycomb, etc.). Strong experience with k8s and Terraform is a big plus.
- • Strong system design instincts: you think carefully about data models, service boundaries, failure modes, and how systems hold up at scale - we are at a point where we constantly think about tradeoffs surrounding velocity and scaling.
- • Strong technical communication: you write clearly, give effective feedback, and collaborate well across functions in a startup environment.
🏖️ Benefits
- • Competitive salary and equity package
- • Unlimited PTO + paid company holidays
- • Access to holistic medical, dental, and vision plans
- • Company 401(k), Commuter, and HSA/FSA plans
- • NYC office in the heart of Manhattan
- • Lunch and snacks provided in the office
- • Access to virtual mental health care (Spring Health), vision related benefits (XP Health), and health concierge (Rightway) to help you find the right care
- • Access to counseling for stress management, dependent care, nutrition, fitness, legal, and financial issues (Guardian WorkLifeMatters EAP)
