Job Description

Company Description

Farther is a rapidly growing RIA that combines expert advisors with cutting-edge technology - delivering a comprehensive, tailored wealth management experience.

Farther's founders are leaders and innovators from the private wealth industry who possess a unique blend of traditional wealth management, fintech, and technology production expertise. We're backed by top-tier venture capital firms, fintech investors, and industry leaders.

Joining Farther means joining a collaborative team of entrepreneurs who are passionate about helping their clients and our teammates achieve more. If you're the type who breaks through walls to get things done the right way, we want to build the future of wealth management with you.

The Role

As a Senior Full-stack Engineer at Farther, you'll design and build the backend services and APIs that power our wealth management platform. Working with TypeScript, Bun, and CockroachDB, you'll create scalable, reliable systems that handle everything from financial transactions to portfolio management.

You'll join our engineering team working on core product features and roadmap delivery, with a focus on backend systems while remaining capable across the full stack. We're hiring as part of an exciting initiative : we're creating a Forward Deployed Engineering team where our top engineers rotate to work directly with advisors on urgent challenges. As senior engineers rotate onto that team, you'll help maintain momentum on critical backend work. Once you've ramped up (typically 3-6 months), you may have the opportunity to rotate onto the Forward Deployed team yourself.

Your Impact

  • Design and implement backend services that support our entire product ecosystem
  • Build scalable API layers that serve client-facing applications and internal tools
  • Create efficient data models and database schemas for complex financial workflows
  • Develop shared libraries and utilities that standardize operations across the platform
  • Work with distributed systems and handle high-reliability requirements for financial services
  • Collaborate with frontend engineers to design APIs that enable efficient development
  • Mentor other engineers through code reviews and technical discussions
  • Take ownership of significant features from technical design through deployment
  • Contribute to architectural decisions and backend development standards
  • Contribute to the development of our cutting-edge, agentic-based, software manufacturing pipeline.
  • Future opportunity : Rotate onto the Forward Deployed team to work directly with advisors and rapidly build complete solutions

The Ideal Match

  • 6+ years of backend development experience with strong full-stack capabilities
  • Expertise in TypeScript / JavaScript and modern backend frameworks
  • Experience with distributed systems and database design (CockroachDB or similar)
  • Solid understanding of RESTful APIs and asynchronous processing patterns
  • Proficiency with cloud infrastructure (AWS) and containerization
  • Can competently handle frontend work when needed to deliver complete solutions
  • Product-focused mindset - excited about building systems that enable great user experiences
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Proven ability to work autonomously and drive projects from idea to completion
  • Track record of delivering high-quality, scalable backend systems
  • Experience mentoring other engineers and driving technical best practices
  • Collaborative mindset and ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams
  • Excited about contributing to a fast-growing fintech company
  • Bonus Points

  • Experience with financial services or trading systems
  • Knowledge of financial regulatory requirements and compliance
  • Previous consulting or customer-facing technical roles
  • Experience with event-driven architectures
  • Background in building high-availability systems
  • Experience with real-time data processing
  • Familiarity with functional programming concepts
  • Background in rapid prototyping or startup environments
  • Interest in eventually rotating onto the Forward Deployed team
  • Why Join Us

  • Competitive comp package that rewards impact
  • Work alongside some of the brightest minds in fintech
  • Ground-floor opportunity at a fast-scaling startup
  • Chart your own growth path as we expand
  • Full health benefits + 401(k) matching & Roth IRA options
  • Unlimited PTO
  • An amazing collaborative atmosphere between product, design, and engineering to solve hard problems together
