About Titan

Despite decades of innovation in money, the most important consumer money domain remains largely untouched: wealth management. Legacy Wall Street institutions still dominate private wealth, gatekeeping their services behind extremely high minimums, janky user experiences, and layers of fees. They are, in our opinion, the "final boss" of consumer fintech.

Our belief: every American deserves an elite wealth team navigating their capital, delivered at the cost and speed only humans working in harmony with AI can unlock.

At heart, we're a small pack of hard-working rebels operating at the intersection of engineering craft and high-stakes financial precision. Every person here is a calibrated bet on what we're building next. Our mission is to rebuild what a wealth management firm means, from the ground up, brick by brick, leveraging technology across the entire stack, so that AI lets one wealth advisor deliver what used to take a team, serving clients a Wall Street team never could have reached.

We're backed by a16z and Sam Altman, and currently power over $1 billion in assets under management.

Why Join Titan

For the right person, this will be one of the most rewarding roles they ever have.

- Legacy-defining vision. Private wealth in every pocket isn't an incremental product. It’s not B2B automation. It’s a “before & after” moment in money.

- The time is now. LLMs just unlocked what was impossible five years ago: truly personalized wealth management for everyone.

- Outsized decision making. We're a small team by design. Every hire is precise, every role carries real weight, and your decisions disproportionately shape what we become.

- Built in person, in the trenches. We're a high-touch, high-tempo group that works side by side. You’ll see our founders working in the trenches with the team everyday.

- Ownership in every sense. Competitive cash and well-above-market equity. We believe in identifying only exceptional talent and compensating them generously.

- World-class backing. Investors who share the bold vision: a16z, General Catalyst, Accel, Y Combinator, Sam Altman, Paul Graham, and more.

Role Overview

Titan engineers are building the systems to power a next-generation RIA prepared to scale well beyond our $1B AUM. Working alongside former founders, Google & Meta Engineers We are seeking a Principal Backend / Infrastructure Engineer to help architect, build, and scale the core systems that power our financial platform. You’ll work on our backend services, trading systems, real-time APIs, data pipelines, automated workflows, and infrastructure in ways that are secure, scalable, and resilient. This is a high-impact role where your technical decisions will directly affect platform reliability and performance at scale.

Core Responsibilities

- Design, build, and maintain backend services and APIs using Node.js and TypeScript.

- Improve and extend the infrastructure that enables trading, account management, transaction processing, and portfolio automation.

- Ensure high availability, performance, and security across backend systems powering millions of daily operations.

- Build and enhance internal tools, data pipelines, and system integrations.

- Extend our devOps/infrastructure to shape CI/CD, deployment automation, observability, monitoring, and incident response.

- Champion best practices for code quality, system design, testing, and documentation.

- Mentor junior engineers and drive architectural initiatives across the backend domain.

Qualifications

- 6 + years of professional experience building backend systems in TypeScript or comparable languages (Node.js preferred).

- Strong backend fundamentals: APIs, microservices, distributed systems, data stores, caching, messaging systems.

- Experience with database design (SQL & NoSQL), scaling patterns, performance optimization, and observability.

- Deep experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and infrastructure as code.

- Solid understanding of security practices for backend systems (authentication, authorization, data protection).

- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.

- Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

What Makes You Stand Out

- Experience building financial or real-time services.

- Familiarity with automated portfolio, trading, or financial data systems.

- Previous ownership of backend infrastructure or mission-critical systems.

- Experience scaling apps used by tens of thousands of users with high throughput.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
