Engineering Manager, Payments

About AngelList

Private markets are the new public markets. The most important companies of this era are private, and almost no one can own them. What's missing is the financial system public markets spent a century building: exchanges, custodians, brokers, and ways for ordinary people to buy in. Private markets, now $28T, never had the equivalent. AngelList is building it.

The last decade of structural innovation in venture happened here: syndicates, SPVs at scale, Rolling Funds, scout programs. Today we have $200B+ in assets and 30,000+ startups funded on our platform. The rest of private markets is next. Funds is the software and services behind private funds, Nova is the banking network, Meridian is the wealth platform for accredited investors, and USVC is the brand behind a registered fund that lets anyone invest in venture.

Working here means an unusual amount of agency on a problem that matters. Titles are closer to suggestions, and there are about 200 of us building what private markets never had. Come build it with us.

About the Role

Nova is building the banking and payments network for private markets. This infrastructure moves money between funds and investors for subscriptions, capital calls, and distributions. Today, Nova supports $1.2B+ in deposits, $100M+ in weekly transfers across six bank integrations, and ~150k verified investors. Moving large sums between funds and investors is one of the highest-stakes parts of the private markets. Nova earns and keeps the trust of GPs and LPs by getting it exactly right every time.

We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead and grow Nova Foundations, the product's core money-movement and identity system. This is a hands-on, player-coach role. You'll spend most of your time growing the team, driving the roadmap with stakeholders, and setting the technical vision, all while staying close enough to the code to unblock and support the team. You'll report to the Head of Nova Engineering.
