We are looking for a Tech Lead to join our engineering team. This position is remote.

This is a rare opportunity to build the backbone of a whole new set of personal financial health products. You will set the technical bar for the team, guide system design decisions, and drive the reliability and accuracy that our users depend on to manage their financial lives.
