About the role

Titan is the rebel challenger in a very old industry. The present era is run by ancient players: Fidelity, Schwab, & Goldman Sachs. The problem is that none of them were built on modern rails and have horrible user experiences. There have been new things built (think: “investing apps”). They are either 1) gimmicky casinos or 2) sleepy commodities. We won’t say names. Why hasn’t anyone built a modern Goldman Sachs for everyone? That’s our mission.

Titan is a next-generation investment firm. We aspire to lead our generations’ wealth.

We are fighters at heart. We fight to build products that are truly democratized. For example, we launched the first institutional grade cash management product open to everyday investors via Titan Smart Cash. We launched the first ever Venture fund for everyday investors in partnership with Cathie Wood’s ARK. We’ve been able to raise significant capital from some of Silicon Valley’s best, like a16z and General Catalyst.

Now let’s talk about you. We’re highly selective with who we choose to bring onto the team, but if you resonate with the above, we’d love to meet you.

The Role

As a Backend Engineer you'll be responsible for maintaining and extending our trading and account management infrastructure to support and delight tens of thousands of our clients transacting millions of dollars a day. From adding support for new financial products and accounts types to building our automated portfolio management system to handling thousands of daily messages to keep our accounts in sync you'll be touching the core infrastructure of our systems that enables everything else. You'll work closely with Engineering Management and other members of the engineering team to ensure the continued stability, scalability and security of Titan's systems. You'll also work cross-functionally with our design, product and customer experience teams to deliver delightful experiences that have never before been seen in a financial product.

We're looking for someone who has:

  • A strong technical background including > 5 years building applications using JavaScript / TypeScript.
  • Experience working with complex, real-time external APIs.
  • A desire to get better everyday. Titan’s best days are still to come and so are yours.
  • An ability to work in a fast paced environment with subject matter experts from across the company.
  • A strong sense of responsibility and integrity. We’re a fiduciary of our clients and we always act with their best interests at heart.

Benefits/Perks

  • Work with a passionate, diverse, smart team on a product that helps tens of thousands of people

  • Backed by top-tier VCs (Andreessen Horowitz, General Catalyst, Sound Ventures, Scribble VC, Y Combinator, BoxGroup, and others)

  • Competitive compensation package (including equity component)

  • Medical and dental insurance

  • Unlimited PTO and Sick Days

  • 401(k) plan with employer match

  • MacBook / PC laptop provided

  • Internet stipend

  • Health & Wellness stipend

  • Daily lunches @ our headquarters

  • Work-from-home stipend to optimize your set-up

    Compensation:

    Anticipated annual salary range: $150,000 - $210,000 plus company stock options + benefits (see above).

    At Titan, we are committed to offering competitive compensation packages for our valued team members, matching our commitment to attract and retain a top talent pool that is aligned with our culture, mission, and values. This salary range represents Titan’s reasonable estimated possible compensation for this role at the time of this posting.

    The final salary for this position will be determined in sole discretion of Titan, depending on applicable laws, and based on a variety of factors, such as employee’s work experience, skills, qualifications for the role, and location, and may differ from the amounts listed above.

About Titan

We currently have four investment strategies (3 in equities, 1 in crypto) and will be launching more. Users have described us as "a hedge fund in their pocket."

What Robinhood did to trading, we're aiming to do to actively-managed investing (think: mutual funds and hedge funds).
