Description For Software Engineer

Metal is revolutionizing the private market investment landscape with their cutting-edge intelligence platform. As a Software Engineer at Metal, you'll be at the forefront of building AI-native products that transform how private investors work and make decisions. The role offers a unique opportunity to work across the full stack, from frontend to backend, while contributing to intelligent agent development.

Working directly with Metal's founders and team members, you'll be responsible for implementing scalable solutions using modern technologies like Go, MongoDB, React, and Next.js. The position requires expertise in both backend development and frontend frameworks, with a focus on creating intuitive interfaces and robust infrastructure.

The ideal candidate brings 5+ years of software engineering experience and a strong foundation in backend development, particularly with Go and MongoDB. You should be comfortable with React and cloud-native applications on AWS. What sets this role apart is the emphasis on AI integration, working with LLM-powered agents and vector databases to create intelligent workflows for investment professionals.

Metal offers competitive compensation ($150K-$210K), meaningful equity in an early-stage company, and comprehensive health benefits. Based in New York City, the role requires on-site presence as the company believes in the power of in-person collaboration for building great products. You'll be joining a fast-growing company that already serves prestigious clients like Berkshire Partners, with the opportunity to shape the future of private market investment technology.

This is an excellent opportunity for a senior engineer who is passionate about AI, enjoys working across the full stack, and wants to make a significant impact in the financial technology sector. The role combines technical challenges with business innovation, offering a chance to work with cutting-edge AI technology while building practical solutions for investment professionals.
