Frontend Engineer

As an early engineering hire, you will work directly with the CTO and founding team 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. Not only is our team deeply skilled in their respective disciplines, we are eager to share our knowledge and learn from each other.

We move quickly. We are already working with the CFOs at a large number of banks and have several hundred in the pipeline. We are fortunate to be backed by Andreessen Horowitz, and our strategic partners include industry leaders across tech, finance, and government.

Your work at ModernFi matters. Our products help small and midsize banks better serve their communities, improving the financial health of millions of Americans. We are helping build the future of the American banking sector and, in doing so, contributing to the stability of the US economy.

We push each other to be better every day, we’re there for each other when things don’t go our way, and we grow together on this journey. Because we are a close-knit team, we are selective and considerate with every hire.

The people at ModernFi could be doing anything in the world, yet they choose to be here.

We offer generous salary, unlimited PTO, and premium health, dental, and vision insurance. As an early hire, you will have access to significant equity at a critical stage of the company’s growth.
