If that sounds like a mission you want to be a part of, let’s create it together. We’re building AI-powered wealth management. Investments, taxes, retirement, estate planning, all in one platform instead of scattered across different advisors and apps. We're backed by Google's Gradient Ventures, Cathay Innovation, Scale Venture Partners, and more. We’re growing fast while still small enough that everyone's work is visible and impactful. ## About the Role We're looking for a software engineer who understands the user's problem, architects a solution, and ships it. Sometimes the same day. Your work lives in production, not in a design doc. At this stage, every IC engineer at Range can operate as a 10x IC. There is very little stopping you from building. You'll use AI workflows to move faster alongside the team and customers, bringing the best solutions to life. We think really big and ship fast, without lowering the bar on quality. You'll define how engineering operates here by figuring out what's actually possible when a great engineer leans all the way into AI. Your architecture and your code will be how this company scales. When you build something that works, we move. Engineers at Range are catalysts, turning ideas into real products and creating momentum. That's how we lead. Ship fast, learn, iterate. ## Who you are A builder. You go from problem to prototype to production. You don't wait for a perfectly scoped ticket or a sprint planning meeting. You see the gap and you close it. Craft-obsessed. You've studied how the best companies build software and have real opinions about what makes it great. Your standards are high. What you ship is clean, secure, and considered, even when you ship it fast. Intuition-driven. You've done enough reps to trust your gut on architecture decisions, move quickly, and be right far more often than you're wrong. When the requirements aren't clear, you use judgement to evaluate tradeoffs. Always finding a way to move. AI-native. You're already using AI every day as core infrastructure. You see it as the thing that turns one engineer into ten. Full-stack by instinct. Frontend, backend, infrastructure. You go wherever the problem is. React, TypeScript, Node, AWS are your tools, not your identity. You pick up whatever's needed. You care about outcomes. Every endpoint, every interaction, every system is built around how your customers will actually experience the product. Where you operate at this level You produce high-quality, impactful work that drives team success. You take full ownership — proactively identifying and addressing challenges while staying focused on solutions. You lead by example with positivity, reframing setbacks as opportunities to learn and grow. You collaborate openly through radical transparency, ensuring alignment and trust among teammates and stakeholders. ## What we’re looking for - Deep expertise in TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, or other programming languages - Extensive experience designing, building, and operating production systems on AWS or similar cloud platforms (EC2, ECS, RDS, DynamoDB, S3, CloudWatch) - Proven ability to work across the stack — frontend, backend, infrastructure — and make sound tradeoffs between them - Track record of leading technical projects that span multiple services or systems - Experience defining technical direction for a team, including architecture decisions, tooling choices, and engineering standards - Proven ability to architect, debug, and ship using AI development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) — not just prompting, but knowing when the output is wrong, why, and how to fix it - Strong communication skills — you can align engineers and stakeholders around a technical approach What will set you apart - Experience designing scalable, high-availability distributed systems - Experience building and maintaining complex web applications with React and TypeScript at scale - Excellent product instincts — you partner with product and design to shape what gets built, not just how - Ability to take a loosely defined business problem and drive it to a well-scoped technical solution - Track record of raising the bar for engineering quality across a team (testing practices, observability, incident response) - Security engineering experience - Fintech experience - Startup experience Not for you if - You need a fully scoped PRD before you can start working - You're offended by the idea that AI changes everything about this job - You'd rather debate architecture than ship and iterate - You optimize for consensus over conviction - You think "move fast" means lower the bar ## Compensation Base salary range: $150,000 – $250,000 This is the base salary range we expect in good faith to pay for this role at the time of posting. Where an offer lands within the range depends on the scope and complexity of work the candidate can own independently and demonstrated depth at this level. Other compensation and benefits The range above reflects base salary only. Our offer packages also include equity in the form of stock options, so total compensation for this role will exceed the base salary range. We do not ask for or consider salary history. You are welcome to ask questions about compensation at any point in the process. ## Benefits - Health & Wellness: 100% employer-covered medical insurance for employees (75% for dependents), plus dental and vision coverage - 401(k): Retirement savings program to support your future - Paid Time Off: time to reset and recharge + most federal holidays - Parental Leave: Comprehensive leave policy for growing families - Meals: Select meals covered throughout the week - Fitness: Monthly movement stipend - Equity & Career Growth: Early exercise eligibility and a strong focus on professional development - Annual Compensation Reviews: Salary and equity refreshes based on performance - Boomerang Program: After two years at Range, you can take time away to start your own company. We’ll hold your spot for 6 months - and pause your equity vesting, which resumes if you return Range is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity or Veteran status. As a company, we are committed to designing products, building a culture, and supporting a team that reflects the diverse population we serve. ## About Range ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Range is an all-in-one wealth management platform that combines AI-powered financial planning with human advisor support to help high-earning individuals manage their finances holistically. - **Entity Type**: Private (Series C – $62.3M raised February 2026) - **Headquarters**: McLean, Virginia, United States - **Founded**: 2021 - **Founders**: Fahad Hassan and David Cusatis ## Core Business - **Primary industry/industries**: Fintech – Wealth Management / AI-driven Financial Planning - **Target customers**: B2C – high-income individuals, professionals, executives, and entrepreneurs (High Net Worth / mass affluent) - **Mission or purpose statement**: “Help households manage their money faster, more affordably, and accurately than any other resource in the world.” ## Products & Services - **Range Wealth Management Platform**: SaaS-based dashboard that consolidates all aspects of a member’s financial life – cash flow tracking, investment oversight, tax planning, retirement planning, real estate visibility, and direct access to a team of advisors.
