Lead Software Engineer, Endpoint Security

Kikoff

<div>
 Looking for an experienced backend engineer with expert knowledge in Rails and AWS. You will be responsible for core product contributions, rapid-prototyping, and production-level concerns including infrastructure and security.
 
 
 As a backend engineer of a fast-growing fintech startup you are going to move the needle, but it will require a split personality: Your Dr. Jekyll leans towards correctness, tight testing, and advancing the mental constructs of the organization with a series of logical hypotheses and tests; your Hyde-side is one that focuses on brutal prioritization in a sea of possibilities, good-enough testing for a code base that must be deliberately but also organically grown, and the understanding that systems must serve people, not the other way around.
 
 
 Our mission is to create fair, effective, and simple financial pathways to help 100M Americans reach their financial goals. Investors include Lightspeed, Coatue and GGV. Founders are serial entrepreneurs who co-founded and served as C-suite executives at 3 FinTech unicorns.
 
 
 
 Requirements
 
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 B.A. / B.S. / M.S. or strong self-taught fundamentals in computer science
 </li>
 <li>
 Preferred, but not required, experience in Rails
 </li>
 <li>
 4+ years of industry experience, with demonstrated breadth and depth of product impact
 </li>
 <li>
 Ability to analyze data and distill information for business purposes
 </li>
 <li>
 Effectiveness as demonstrated by problem-solving skills in areas outside your expertise
 </li>
 <li>
 Desire to form strong professional bonds with startup-forward coworkers
 
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 What We&rsquo;re Like
 
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Scrappy. We had a product goal and put out the MVP, collecting our first users with steady growth via paid channels in four months. We don&rsquo;t cut corners when we know we&rsquo;ll need them but we don&rsquo;t build things without that need. We don&rsquo;t like inefficiency but we dislike operationalizing one-off tasks even more.
 </li>
 <li>
 Risk-oriented. Everything has risk, but a mature team knows how to make these tradeoffs. That&rsquo;s why we built the MVP fast&ndash;&ndash;because time is your most valuable asset and is practically fungible with money in the startup world.
 </li>
 <li>
 Data-obsessed. We all look at data and pull it, and we believe that understanding the mechanics can yield valuable insights. Complex systems require elegant, not just simple solutions. You absolutely need to be interested in data if you want to leverage your knowledge of systems.
 </li>
 <li>
 Lucky. That&rsquo;s how we look at this journey so far. From our timing of fundraising, to the circumstances in which we came together, to the initial product traction we&rsquo;re getting, there&rsquo;s no other word to describe it. We are grateful you are reading this, and we know that if you&rsquo;re meant to be with us on this journey, then we will see you soon.

Software Engineer - Backend

Column

<div><h2 class="jobSectionHeader">About Column</h2>
For companies building financial technology and transforming the financial services space, the biggest bottleneck to their growth and innovation is often the underlying banks and infrastructure stack they rely on. We have spent our careers founding and scaling companies like Plaid, Square, Meta, Blend, and Affirm, and have seen this problem firsthand &mdash; builders and developers needing to partner with traditional banks, and creating API and abstraction layers over the patchwork that is the bank, its core, and many other vendors. All of this results in a complex (and often expensive) banking supply chain involving a user, fintech, BaaS middleware provider, bank, core and the Federal Reserve. 
At Column, we set out to simplify and fix this. We are a bank and a software company built from the ground up, offering builders and developers technology-forward banking solutions that cut out the hundreds of vendors, middleware providers, and abstraction layers. This means a safer, more transparent, and less costly banking supply chain. Come build with us!<h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
The opportunity:</h2>
As Column&rsquo;s first Data Engineer, you&rsquo;ll lay the foundation for our entire data platform, which is built on the world&rsquo;s most advanced, in-house banking core and processes trillions of dollars of payments annually. You&rsquo;ll be responsible for building and scaling the pipelines and infrastructure that power internal analytics, compliance reporting, and customer insights. You&rsquo;ll work closely with engineering, compliance, risk, and operations teams to design systems that are fast, reliable, and auditable from day one. This is a high-impact, high-ownership role for someone who&rsquo;s excited about building clean systems that power a regulated institution at scale.
This role reports directly to our CEO as a member of our engineering team, and is an in-person role located in our Presidio-based, San Francisco office (3-4 days/week) - we will support relocation for the right candidate.
