The Opportunity

You will work directly with a stellar team of early engineers to design, develop, and maintain large swaths of ModernFi’s early IP. You will have impact and responsibility from day one, helping to shape the direction of the company, contributing to and developing engineering best practices, and laying the groundwork for the culture you’ve always wanted.

We believe in hiring the best talent and letting you build with autonomy and ownership, while also supporting you to learn and grow your technical and professional expertise.
