From the original posting
The opportunity:
We’re a lean and experienced team. We like our current team size of 11 engineers but are open to adding 1-2 more strong engineers to the team this year.
You'll work across the stack, from customer-facing applications and developer experiences to the APIs and systems that power them. You'll partner closely with customers to understand their needs, move quickly from idea to implementation, and build solutions that make complex financial infrastructure feel simple.
This role is perfect for an engineer who enjoys owning problems end to end — talking to customers, shaping product decisions, and building polished, reliable software that solves real-world problems. You'll have the opportunity to influence what we build, how customers interact with Column, and the technical direction of a platform processing billions of dollars per day.
This position will be based in our San Francisco office in the Presidio, with regular travel throughout the United Sates. You can expect to be on the road 50%+ of the time, often embedded on-site for 2–4 weeks at a time.
