Software Engineer

Note -

ABOUT US:

Repool is a fintech software company that is modernizing infrastructure for hedge funds. US hedge funds account for $3.5T of assets but rely upon antiquated services and technology from fractured service providers and there's an enormous opportunity to challenge longstanding incumbents and gain significant market share.

Founded in 2021 Repool is a YC S21 with over $4M in funding from top firms like Canaan Matrix and Uncorrelated as well as angel investors including founders from unicorns like Brex Jeeves Mercury Flexport Outschool Pilot and Forge.

The team currently has 8 employees primarily in NYC. However this role will be based in SF on a hybrid basis (our co-founder and CTO Justin is in SF). You'll be the founding hire in the SF office.

THE ROLE:

We're hiring for a (primarily or solely) back-end engineer to join the team (currently 3 engineers).

You must have 3+ years of post-graduate full time-experience to be considered for this role.

You'll own large portions of product and help to build out a dream team of engineers and culture. Our ideal candidate is thoughtful and product-drive; someone who wants to ship a lot of features gain exposure to many areas of the business and meaningfully impact the direction of the product.

The role will be flexible hybrid WFH/in-person. We believe that having an in-person presence in the early days is critical for team-building morale and culture.

WHAT YOU'LL DO HERE

• Help establish and influence engineering process culture systems code base and all things relating to engineering.
• Ship exceptional thoughtful features and code!
• Help make strategic decisions about what to build why and when as well as how to approach business challenges associated with early-stage startups
• Collaborate directly with the cofounders on what to build and how to build it and really all things relating to the business
• Drive the engineering and product roadmaps based on customer feedback and thoughtful analysis

THE RIGHT CANDIDATE WILL HAVE:

• At least 3 years of full-time professional software engineering experience .
• Great communication and collaboration skills
• A desire to be a part of and help build out great culture as the team grows
• Experience with one or more common web application frameworks (Phoenix Rails Django etc.)
• Experience with at least one relational database system

NICE TO HAVES:

• Passions outside of work!
• Experience with React GraphQL and Elixir/Phoenix
• Previous startup experience
• Previous finance experience
• A passion for investing creator economies and/or finance

REPOOL BENEFITS:

Despite being a very early stage startup you'll find that we provide benefits better than most companies our stage. We don't want joining early to mean critical concessions in security or your well being. Consequently we're proud to offer:

• Highly competitive salary and a meaningful equity stake
• 100% covered top-of-the-line health insurance dental and vision
• 401k w/match
• 100% covered life insurance short-term disability insurance and long-term disability insurance.
• HSA and FSA company contributions
• Commuter benefits
• Optional critical illness voluntary life insurance supplement accident and hospital insurance options
• Unlimited PTO

WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO US:

• Leaning in. Startups aren't where you go to make the absolute most money have the best work-life balance or the easiest role. That's not for everyone but the worst situation is people who join startups wanting only the "upsides" and not the "downsides.". You should know that building a startup is hard and while we aim to have work-life balance this just isn't a 9-5 job and it's also not a role where you can coast. Great companies that become unicorns universally have incredible early employees who leaned in and helped build the company. That said we also believe in reasonable expectations.
• Culture. Between the two of us we've been at companies with great culture okay culture and bad culture and while there's no one way to have an amazing culture there are many ways to have bad cultures. We want Repool to be a transformative inspiring and enjoyable place to work and we're really interested in hiring for other people who feel similarly.
• Building great product and moving quickly. Our operating philosophy is to seek the truth debate earnestly and then - lastly decide and go.
• Becoming more formidable. Whether it's in 8 years or 2 years we know it's unlikely that Repool is the last stop of your life and professional journey. We care deeply about supporting you in using Repool to get to whatever's next.
