We're building the next generation of capital-markets infrastructure, starting with a modern, digital-native transfer agent designed for today's public companies. Our platform replaces slow, manual processes with secure, automated workflows — delivering the first API-driven, real-time infrastructure for public companies.
Backed by Index Ventures, Spark Capital, and Infinity Ventures, our team includes veterans from NYSE, Equiniti, Computershare, and AngelList. Engineering is headquartered in Mangaluru.
You'll own the Data Products function end-to-end across four surfaces: Reporting & Analytics, the Immutable Ledger, Shareholder Intelligence, and Data Governance for Compliance. This is a builder role, not a specifier role. You will work with customers on requirements, architect solutions, write production code, lead the team by modeling work, and represent Data Products to executives, the board, and prospects.
