Founding Engineer
Alinea Invest
About Alinea
Alinea is an investing app for Gen Z with over 1 million users. We’re a Y Combinator-backed startup and recently closed our $10.4M Series A from top investors including Goodwater Capital, F7 Ventures, GFR Fund, and Worklife Ventures.
We make building wealth feel approachable, personalized, and community-driven. Now, we’re looking for a true builder to help us take our product and team to the next level.
What You’ll Do
Own & Ship: Architect, build, and launch core features — from onboarding and personalized investing plans to auto-invest and beyond.
Collaborate & Lead: Work closely with the founders, designers, and growth team to shape product decisions and move fast.
Set Culture & Standards: Help define what great engineering looks like at Alinea. Create a culture of curiosity, collaboration, and high execution.
Move Like a Founder: Make high-impact decisions, move quickly with conviction, and care deeply about the details — because this is your company too.
You Might Be a Fit If You’ve Ever...
Built From Scratch: Launched a product, personal project, or MVP that people actually used.
Made It Work: Tackled an “impossible” problem with creativity and scrappiness — duct-taping APIs, debugging SwiftUI quirks, or teaching yourself a stack overnight.
Thrived in Chaos: Performed best in fast-paced, ambiguous environments where action > process.
Obsessed Over UX: Cared just as much about how the product feels as how the code is written.
Spoken Up: Had strong product opinions and weren’t afraid to share them.
Our Tech Stack
Frontend: Swift + SwiftUI
Backend: Node.js (Express) + TypeScript
Database & Infrastructure: MongoDB + AWS (EB, EC2, CloudWatch, CodeDeploy)
