Founding Full-stack Engineer @ Vesto
Full-Time / In-Person / New York, NY
What is a founding full-stack engineer at Vesto?
You’ll be engineer #2. We want someone who is comfortable building features across the stack, leaning towards backend/infra. It doesn’t really matter where your expertise lies, as long as you’re willing and able to learn.
What is Vesto?
Vesto is building the financial control center for companies with multi-entity operations.
As companies grow across multiple entities, banks, and countries, getting a view of basic financials, and making financial decisions becomes a convoluted mess… real-estate companies, holding-companies, and any company with global operations routinely have hundreds, let alone dozens of legal entities, bank accounts, and banking relationships, making understanding how much cash you have or what’s going in and out of the business, a grueling manual task.
Vesto helps these companies connect, view and soon control everything in one place.
We’re backed by top-tier investors including Contrary, SV Angel, Susa Ventures, and the founders of SoFi and Tinder.
What you’ll do
Build new APIs and features from the ground up — Starting from talking to our customers, through to designing the solution and implementing it.
Scale our current system — Make an array of finance APIs work for us. In order to offer our Customers the best possible experience and integrations, we integrate with many APIs and plan on integrating with more. This means tying together APIs, webhooks, and designing scalable and robust jobs, functions, and APIs ourselves.
Work directly with the CEO and other engineers to plan, iterate, and grow our product
We’ll love you if
You like to read and write — you’re a clear communicator, you think hard about every problem and its solution from the user’s perspective
You have a bias for shipping — your greatest joy is shipping something and a customer using it
At the same time, you know when and how to balance methodical design with speed and iteration
You want to learn — Finance can be boring, but only if you’re not open to learning
It’s incredible what our customers are doing today to solve their own problems
We’re working in a hard space. That means hard to get right, very rewarding when we earn insights
You like when things are in order and they work — Debugging hard technical challenges, improving the efficiency of our platform and overall experience of our users, and delivering robust features that you iterate on should be your aspiration
Server logs are neatly formatted and show Successfully formatted, de-duplicated, and saved 1.32M transactions
Sentry errors validate that your role-based permissions are working
Our customers are wowed when all their Accounts, Balances, and Transactions are beautifully integrated, thanks to your code
You appreciate well designed, crafted, and beautiful things
You’re a hustler – building a great company is not easy: that means we have to work harder, longer, and smarter.
Stack
Django + NestJs dockerized backend, deployed on AWS
Nextjs for the frontend (Typescript, Tailwind)
A plethora of financial APIs
At the end of the day, this is a startup.
If you’re looking for responsibility, opportunities to learn, actually building and shipping things, talking to customers when they love and hate you, and experiencing growth then this is your place.
If you’re looking for a cushy 9-5 job with great benefits, tons of meetings, reviewing 1 PR a month, and having no responsibility then this is not your place.
We’re stoked if you’ve read this far. Come build a financial operating system that companies (and importantly the people behind them) love.
