About Addition Wealth
The future of personal finance is being redefined—and Addition Wealth is
building it. Today’s earners don’t need outdated models or one-size-fits-all
advice. They need smart, personalized guidance that meets them where they
are—at work, through their bank, and on their phone. We combine expert human
advice, intuitive design, and AI-powered personalization to help people make
confident decisions about everything from equity to everyday budgeting. With
distribution unlocked—via employer benefits and partnerships with financial
institutions—we’re delivering the next generation of financial guidance at
scale.
The Role
As Head of Engineering, you’ll be part of our executive team and own the
vision, strategy, and execution of our technical roadmap—including how we
scale our platform and our team. You’ll help us 3x the engineering org in the
next 12–18 months and build a product that blends consumer-grade quality with
enterprise-grade reliability.
You’ll also lead our AI initiatives: building systems that use LLMs and
agentic workflows to deliver smarter, more proactive financial guidance.
You’ll set the technical bar, drive innovation, and shape a culture of high
ownership and velocity.
Our current stack includes TypeScript, Node.js, Next.js, Nest.js, PostgreSQL,
and AWS. We’re looking for someone excited to scale with this foundation—and
evolve it where needed to meet the needs of our users and partners.
