Software Engineer

The Role

You will be one of the first engineers on the ground in the states, in our new NYC office. You're a super IC in a small, elite engineering team. You work on core banking systems and own projects end to end. You take on big projects, drive them yourself, and deliver. You work with engineering, product, and clients. You turn complex financial problems into clean code. You're trusted with big decisions from day 1; system design, technical tradeoffs, what we build and what we don't.

Who Will Thrive At Augustus

• Relentless: You can't leave something broken. You don't stop because it got hard or because no one is watching.
• Set the bar: You're harder on yourself than anyone else would be. You don't need external accountability to care about quality.
• Shape the Game: You don't wait for a playbook and you don't need one. You walk into genuinely new territory and figure it out. You move before anyone asked you to.
• Systems first: You don't solve problems by adding people or effort. You build systems that make the problem smaller. Your first instinct is to automate, not to handle it manually.

Hard Requirements

• 3+ years of hands‑on software engineering experience (backend-focused).
• 1+ years in early‑stage or small startup environments.
• Based in NYC or work permit in the US.
