Senior Software Engineer
Reports to: Co-founder / Head of Engineering
Compensation: Competitive cash + equity
The Mission
Goldbridge is building the financial operating system for the largest asset class in the world – real estate. More than $1T in rent flows through landlord bank accounts annually, with roughly a quarter locked in idle reserves and security deposits – and billions more leaking from unnecessary property expenses. And with $2.5T in real estate loans about to mature in 2027/28, property owners are grasping at straws to boost their income ASAP. Goldbridge solves this problem by creating the first AI-powered banking platform for real estate owners. We are backed by Y Combinator and other world-class investors, and our CEO is a 2x YC founder, former White House advisor, and 100-unit real estate owner/operator who understands this industry deeply.

The Work
What You'll Focus On
You'll build and harden the core platform that powers:
- •Onboarding + KYB workflows (entities, beneficial owners, approvals, exception handling)
- •Account provisioning + funds movement (bank partner integrations, transfers, event handling)
- •Ledgering + reconciliation (accurate balances, transaction states, matching, reporting)
- •Card controls + spend workflows (limits, approvals, receipts, allocations, controls)
- •Customer-facing surfaces (admin, reporting packs, activity views, audit trails)
You'll operate close to the metal: product + bank partner + operations + customers. You'll see the real-world messiness early, and you'll build the systems that make it feel effortless.
What You'll Do
- •Ship end-to-end features across backend and product surface area (we'll match scope to your strengths)
- •Build and own reliable integrations with sponsor banks/processors/partners (idempotency, retries, observability, failure handling)
- •Design internal systems with auditability built-in (clear logs, traceability, "who did what, when, and why")
- •Improve reliability and performance: monitoring, alerting, on-call hygiene, and running blameless postmortems when things break
- •Partner tightly with Implementation/Onboarding to eliminate friction and automate the "human middleware"
- •Make pragmatic architecture decisions: "simple now, scalable later" without accruing fatal debt
What We're Looking For
- •5+ years building, shipping and maintaining production software (startup experience strongly preferred)
- •Strong backend fundamentals: APIs, databases, distributed systems, async workflows
- •Comfort with money movement realities: state machines, reconciliation, precision, edge cases
- •High ownership: you can take a problem from messy requirements → shipped solution → monitoring → iteration without needing heavy direction
- •Excellent communication: you can work directly with ops and customers when needed
Bonus Points (Not Required)
- •Fintech experience (banking, payments, cards, KYC/KYB, ledgering)
- •Experience with event-driven systems (queues, pub/sub), idempotency patterns, and workflow engines
- •Security mindset (PII handling, secrets management, access controls, audit logs)
- •Familiarity with TypeScript/React, Kotlin, GCP (or equivalent modern stack)
Why This Role Is Special
- •You'll help define the technical foundation of a category-level company
- •You'll work on systems that touch real money and require real correctness
- •You'll ship fast and see immediate impact on customers and KPIs
- •If you perform, this role can grow into a COO / Head of Operations trajectory
