Description
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 lead at this level
You demonstrate leadership through ownership of impactful projects, mentorship, or managing others. You encourage calculated risks across the team — fostering a culture of bold thinking and innovation while staying open to learning from failures. You model resilience and optimism, helping the team see challenges as opportunities and stay solutions-focused under pressure. You use good judgment to balance team needs, individual growth, and company objectives. As a manager, you promote radical transparency by setting clear expectations and offering constructive, actionable feedback.
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
- Deep expertise across multiple languages (TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, etc) and paradigms, with strong opinions loosely held on technology choices
- Extensive experience architecting and evolving production systems on AWS or similar cloud platforms, with a focus on reliability, cost efficiency, and operational excellence
- Proven ability to work across the entire stack and make strategic decisions about where to invest engineering effort
- Track record of
