What are the responsibilities and job description for the Founding Engineer - NYC position at Rad Hires?
Our client protects global businesses from macroeconomic risk by automatically hedging their freight, currency, and commodities exposure.
Risk management plays a critical role in the functioning of any business. In the past 4 years, volatility across these asset classes - swings from 20% to 450% - has wreaked havoc on SMEs who rely on them to function. Yet, the solutions needed to limit the effects of this volatility – seasoned traders and investment banking services – remain in the hands of the few: billion-dollar companies with unlimited resources.
Our client solves this by bringing protection previously available only for the largest corporations to the 30M SMEs worldwide who have $7T of underserved risk. With a few clicks, customers are able to manage their risks through their seamless, end-to-end platform.
They are on a mission to give all businesses Fortune 500-level financial services, starting with risk management, enabling them to focus on building their core business.
They are backed by world-class investors like J Ventures, Neo, Graph Ventures, Ride Ventures, Expansion Ventures, the CEO of Uber and the Co-Founder of Vanta, along with seasoned executives and operators from Stripe, Robinhood, and Airbnb.
The Role
We are looking for a talented founding engineer to join us on our mission to bring transformative financial services to businesses globally. You will be working on designing, building and scaling our platform alongside a strong team that has varied and thorough experiences in the domain being tackled. The ideal candidate will have experience working at a fast-paced engineering organization, and tackling complex problems. You will be expected to take solutions to problems from 0 to 1 and maintain full ownership over all services that you build. Over time, your role will grow and evolve with the company, including managing and mentoring new hires, and taking on an engineering leadership role.
While a prior background in fintech would be helpful, it is not a requirement; we will teach you the domain knowledge you will need. Ultimately, we look for people who are always eager to learn and willing to go the distance as we continue on our journey to reshape financial services for the millions.
Responsibilities
The annualized salary for this role is $90,000-$150,000 plus equity and benefits. This salary range is based on the current available market data, and represents the expected salary range for this role. Actual compensation will vary based on skills, experience, and which offer each candidate selects.
