About AngelList:
We exist to accelerate innovation by increasing the number of successful startups in the world. We want to give more people the opportunity to participate in the venture economy by building the financial infrastructure that makes it possible for more people to invest in world changing startups, and build tools for startups that help them run their operations so they can focus on building.
AngelList is the nexus of venture capital and the startup community. We support over $124B+ assets on our platform, and we’ve driven capital to over 12,000 startups, almost 282 of which are unicorns. 57% of top-tier U.S. VC deals involve investors on AngelList.
While our scale is large, our ambitions are even larger – we’re innovating on the financial infrastructure for venture investors and the startups they invest in. Come build with us.
About the Role:
AngelList is seeking Senior Software Engineers to join one of our core engineering teams. At AngelList, we pride ourselves on having an outsized impact on the industry. Teams are explicitly small and built on mutual respect, high trust, and low management. It's not a fit for everyone, but when there's a fit, it’s one of the most rewarding places to work!
The private markets now exceed $13T in AUM as more high-growth companies stay private longer. We are looking for a founding engineer on our new Capital Products Team. This team is building new products to streamline every part of the investing lifecycle—from discovery and diligence to transaction flows and reporting. You’ll be at the forefront of creating robust backend services and intuitive user interfaces, seamlessly integrating with AngelList’s broader ecosystem, regulatory obligations, and our best-in-class KYC-to-transaction workflows.
We’re looking for an engineer who thrives on complexity—collaborating across product, design, operations, and compliance teams to deliver a frictionless user experience. If you’re excited about shaping how individuals and institutions invest in the private markets, this role is for you.
We have other engineering opportunities posted for specific teams, so please just apply to one. Not all roles are posted individually. The team will consider you for all open roles that could be a fit.
You will have the opportunity to:
- Help build the world's easiest-to-use financial platform for private markets
- Connect startups and investors around the world who would never have had a chance to meet without AngelList
- Learn the venture financing business inside and out - from the ground up
- Have more ownership and responsibility for shipping large features and improving our codebase
- Accelerate innovation in the world!
You most likely:
- Have 4+ years of experience building large-scale web applications
- Are a full-stack generalist or backend specialist with working knowledge across the stack
- Comfortable writing clean, scalable code in one of our main languages, or excited to dive into our stack and pick it up quickly.
- Thrive in complex, fast-moving environments where you help shape product direction
- Are a self-starter who’s built something meaningful from scratch–a startup, side project, open-source tool
- Are deeply curious about venture capital, financial infrastructure and empowering builders (https://venturehacks.com/save-the-world)
How success will be measured in this role:
- Consistently delivers high-quality, well-tested code that meets the team’s goals and timelines.
- Actively contributes to team discussions and decisions, bringing thoughtful technical perspectives.
- Helps deliver a zero-to-one product, balancing urgency and time-to-market with core engineering principles
If you don’t tick every box above, we’d still encourage you to apply. We’re building a diverse team whose skills balance and complement one another.
AngelList has offices in two hub cities: AngelList has offices in a few cities, and our engineering hub in San Francisco. We’re focused on hiring from this hub office so engineers and product teams can collaborate in the office at least twice per week (Tuesdays and choice between Wednesday or Thursday). From time to time, we will make exceptions for new hires if they need to be in another office or fully remote.
Compensation: The compensation for this role consists of a competitive base salary, benefits, and equity package. The base salary for this role is $200,000+ annually but actual will vary based on a number of factors including a candidate’s professional background, experience, and location. Additional details about our Total Rewards package will be provided during the recruitment process.
Benefits: We support our employees in their lives both inside and outside of work.
