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.

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.

• Build scalable API layers that serve client-facing applications and internal tools
• Create efficient data models and database schemas for complex financial workflows
