About AngelList
Private markets are the new public markets. The most important companies of this era are private, and almost no one can own them. What's missing is the financial system public markets spent a century building: exchanges, custodians, brokers, and ways for ordinary people to buy in. Private markets, now $28T, never had the equivalent. AngelList is building it.
The last decade of structural innovation in venture happened here: syndicates, SPVs at scale, Rolling Funds, scout programs. Today we have $200B+ in assets and 30,000+ startups funded on our platform. The rest of private markets is next. Funds is the software and services behind private funds, Nova is the banking network, Meridian is the wealth platform for accredited investors, and USVC is the brand behind a registered fund that lets anyone invest in venture.
Working here means an unusual amount of agency on a problem that matters. Titles are closer to suggestions, and there are about 200 of us building what private markets never had. Come build it with us.
About the Role
Nova is building the banking and payments network for private markets. Funds, fund administrators, and their investors use its software to manage subscriptions, capital calls, and distributions. Today, Nova supports $1.2B+ in deposits, $100M+ in weekly transfers across six bank integrations, and ~150k verified investors. These are some of the highest-stakes moments in the private markets. Fund managers, investors, and administrators are moving real money and expect every detail to be right. Nova earns and keeps the trust of GPs and LPs by meeting that expectation every time.
We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead and grow Nova Product. This team owns the TypeScript codebase for the entire customer experience, including subscriptions, data rooms, distributions, capital calls, and the emerging LP wallet and investor portal. This is a hands-on, player-coach role. You'll spend most of your time growing the team, driving the roadmap with product and design partners, and setting the technical vision. You'll stay close enough to the code to unblock and support the team, but you typically won't write critical-path code. As the Product group grows, you'll help shape how it is organized. You'll report to the Head of Nova Engineering.
