Senior Software Engineer

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!

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 are most likely:

• A full-stack generalist (or backend specialist able to work the full stack) with 4+ years of experience building large-scale web applications
• Writing clean, scalable code with significant experience in at least one of the primary programming languages we use here (Ruby and TypeScript)
• Excited to move fast, prioritize, and constantly make critical product decisions
• Comfortable with and curious about working outside of a traditional, narrow engineering role
• A self-starter: you have started something meaningful on your own–a startup, an open-source project, something else
• Deeply passionate about startups (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.
• Mentors and supports other engineers, helping to elevate the overall team performance.

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 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.
