At Range, we’re building towards a world where anyone can live the financial life they imagine for themselves. If that sounds like a mission you want to be a part of, let’s create it together.

We’re building AI-powered wealth management. Investments, taxes, retirement, estate planning, all in one platform instead of scattered across different advisors and apps. We're backed by Google's Gradient Ventures, Cathay Innovation, Scale Venture Partners, and more. We’re growing fast while still small enough that everyone's work is visible and impactful.

About the Role

We're looking for a software engineer who understands the user's problem, architects a solution, and ships it. Sometimes the same day. Your work lives in production, not in a design doc.

At this stage, every IC engineer at Range can operate as a 10x IC. There is very little stopping you from building.

You'll use AI workflows to move faster alongside the team and customers, bringing the best solutions to life. We think really big and ship fast, without lowering the bar on quality. You'll define how engineering operates here by figuring out what's actually possible when a great engineer leans all the way into AI.

Your architecture and your code will be how this company scales. When you build something that works, we move. Engineers at Range are catalysts, turning ideas into real products and creating momentum. That's how we lead. Ship fast, learn, iterate.

Who you are

A builder. You go from problem to prototype to production. You don't wait for a perfectly scoped ticket or a sprint planning meeting. You see the gap and you close it.

Craft-obsessed. You've studied how the best companies build software and have real opinions about what makes it great. Your standards are high. What you ship is clean, secure, and considered, even when you ship it fast.

Intuition-driven. You've done enough reps to trust your gut on architecture decisions, move quickly, and be right far more often than you're wrong. When the requirements aren't clear, you use judgement to evaluate tradeoffs. Always finding a way to move.

AI-native. You're already using AI every day as core infrastructure. You see it as the thing that turns one engineer into ten.

Full-stack by instinct. Frontend, backend, infrastructure. You go wherever the problem is. React, TypeScript, Node, AWS are your tools, not your identity. You pick up whatever's needed.

You care about outcomes. Every endpoint, every interaction, every system is built around how your customers will actually experience the product.

Where you’ll grow at this level

You operate independently, delivering consistent, high-quality results that align with team and company goals. You’ve built a reputation for good judgment — weighing trade-offs and outcomes thoughtfully before deciding. You balance immediate priorities with a customer-first mindset, and you’re starting to think bigger: how does this scale, and how does it compound?

Not for you if

You need a fully scoped PRD before you can start working

You're offended by the idea that AI changes everything about this job

You'd rather debate architecture than ship and iterate

You optimize for consensus over conviction

You think "move fast" means lower the bar

What we’re looking for

Strong proficiency in TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, or other programming languages

Experience building and operating production services on AWS or similar cloud platforms (EC2, ECS, RDS, DynamoDB, S3, CloudWatch)

Comfortable working across the stack — frontend, backend, infrastructure

Track record of owning features end-to-end, from design through deployment and monitoring

Proven ability to architect, debug, and ship using AI development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) — not just prompting, but knowing when the output is wrong, why, and how to fix it

Experience working in an agile environment and shipping iteratively

What will set you apart

Experience writing scalable services with Node.js

Experience building complex web applications with React and TypeScript

Excellent product instincts — you think about users first, not the cleverest technical solution

Ability to break down ambiguous problems into clear milestones and deliver without heavy direction

Experience mentoring junior engineers through code review and pairing

Security engineering experience

Fintech experience

Startup experience
