The post
ALBERT | REMOTE, ALMOST ANYWHERE | New grads who’ve shipped AI features (max 2 years out of school) + Principal/Distinguished engineers for net-new consumer products | senior track up to ~$750k cash plus meaningful equity
Consumer fintech, 20M+ users, profitable 4+ years, 3.6-year average tenure. People stay because the work is good and the people are sharp.
We hire like a barbell: exceptional builders at the top, exceptional builders at the start, nothing in the middle.
NEW GRADS (0 to 2 years out): We don’t care about your school or GPA. We care that you’ve already shipped something with an LLM in it that real people used, and you can show us the link. You haven’t learned to hedge or wait for a ticket yet. Come here before a big company sands that off you. You’ll ship to 20M users in your first weeks, working directly with the principal engineers below.
PRINCIPAL/DISTINGUISHED: Building net-new consumer products from zero. Top fraction of a percentile in craft. Builds for fun and ships prototypes on weekends. Owns 0 to 1 end-to-end. Founding engineer experience is a strong signal. Allergic to politics and bureaucracy.
Both tracks: comp that beats the market (base, year-end bonus, meaningful 401(k) match, meaningful equity in a profitable unicorn), platinum PPO for your whole family, small senior-heavy teams with no layers, full transparency on business metrics, catered lunches, wellness stipend, offsites.
Stack: python, claude, postgres, react.js / react native
