About goodfin

GoodFin is reimagining private wealth in the era of AI. Our mission is to empower a new generation to build wealth, starting with their investments in alternative assets.

Our AI-native platform combines a design-forward experience with a backend powered by a system of intelligent agents. We are building a future where AI unlocks financial hyperpersonalization, automation and optimization for sophisticated financial products, which are typically gated by advisors and reserved for very wealthy clients. This highly fragmented $1.25T global services market will undergo a sea change in the coming years, as trillions pass in the largest intergenerational wealth transfer to date.

In a world where most financial decisions will become automated, we believe the next category-defining wealth company will still be human-driven at its core – powered by a high-value community like our membership base of professionals, founders and investors. The next generation financial giant will be an AI-native platform that makes wealth creation seamless, personalized, and social. That’s what we’re building.

We are a fast-growing seed-stage startup backed by Y Combinator, Goodwater Capital, Phoenix Fund, Perpetua Investment Group and angel investors from leading companies across tech and finance.

About the role

About Goodfin
Goodfin is an AI-native wealth platform focused on private markets. We’re building intelligent, agentic systems that help investors research, evaluate, and act on private investment opportunities with clarity and confidence. This is not an AI “feature.” AI is the product.

Our AI, Goodfin Go, delivers real-time, proactive, and human-centered guidance—powering research, decision support, and end-to-end investing workflows for modern investors.

The Role
We’re looking for a rockstar Senior Product Engineer to help drive Goodfin’s core product forward during a critical phase of growth. This is a hands-on builder role for someone who obsesses about the user experience and thrives at the intersection of product thinking and engineering execution.

You’ll work closely with the CEO, design, and AI engineers to ship meaningful features quickly, improve system reliability, and turn ambiguous product ideas into production-ready experiences. This is not a management role—it’s about ownership, judgment, and getting things done.

What You’ll Do

  • Build and ship end-to-end product features across frontend and backend surfaces
  • Partner closely with business and design to translate user needs into clear technical execution
  • Work directly with Goodfin Go workflows, integrating AI-powered reasoning and decision support into the product
  • Own key parts of the codebase and improve architecture, performance, and reliability while continuing to ship fast
  • Collaborate across mobile, backend, and AI systems to deliver cohesive user experiences
  • Make pragmatic technical decisions in a fast-moving environment with real users and real financial outcomes

Our Stack (Relevant to This Role)

  • Frontend / Product UI: React, React Native, TypeScript
  • Backend: Node.js, TypeScript
  • AI Backend: Python, FastAPI
  • Infrastructure: Cloud-native, API-driven systems

You Might Be a Fit If You

  • Care deeply about how users experience products and whether they are delightful, intuitive and engaging
  • Have 5 or more years of hands-on engineering experience shipping real products
  • Think like a product owner but execute like an engineer
  • Are comfortable owning ambiguous problems and driving them to completion
  • Have experience working closely with designers, founders, or small teams
  • Care deeply about quality, user trust, and correctness—especially in high-stakes domains like finance
  • Prefer building over managing, and impact over titles

Why Join

  • Work directly on an AI-native product where AI is the core experience
  • Play a key role in shaping Goodfin’s product during a critical growth period
  • Join a small, high-ownership team where your work is visible and impactful
  • Ship real features used by real investors making real financial decisions
Technology

Backend: AWS Lambda with Node.js and Express Frontend: React Infrastructure: AWS
