The Role

Who we are

We're a small team that believes providing access to better financial insights and tools improves people’s lives, so we’re taking money matters into our own hands.

Our product is a personal finance management app for iOS and Mac that people actually love using. Copilot takes advantage of machine learning to deliver powerful, hyper-personalized finance data insights to help users effortlessly understand and manage their spending, budgeting, and investing. We also use crowdsourced feedback to continuously improve the experience.

Apple recently named us as a finalist for the 2024 Apple Design Awards, and has named Copilot one of the best finance apps in the App Store. And we're only getting started!

Why should you work with us?

A product people love: Copilot users are extremely engaged with the app and are sharing it with their friends and family.

A team that cares: We’re a bunch of geeks who care about data quality and good coffee. We go the extra mile when it comes to making our users happy (and making an excellent pour-over).

Significant impact: We are currently a small, thirty-person team with big ambitions. Our team has previous experience at companies like Google and Apple.

Multicultural team: We’re based in NYC 🇺🇸 and in Santiago, Chile 🇨🇱.

Great company culture: You’ll work with a highly collaborative team that’s always learning and ready to help each other out.

As we continue scaling our app across platforms, we’re looking for a strong engineering leader who can help us stay nimble, aligned, and focused on quality. You will be instrumental in ensuring our engineering organization continues to deliver a best-in-class product while maintaining the velocity and culture that have defined our success to date.

This is a hybrid position based in New York City. You’ll be required to come into our office at least 2 times a week along with the rest of the team. We work from home the rest of the week, but the office is always available in case you want to make use of it more often.

  • Proven experience managing cross-functional and multi-location teams.

  • Background in consumer product development, preferably in high-scale mobile or fintech apps.

  • Deep understanding of software development best practices across frontend and backend.

  • Passion for building simple, elegant solutions to complex technical and human challenges.

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

  • Based in New York City or able to commute to our NYC office at least twice a week.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience in a startup or high-growth environment, ideally at the Series A/B/C stage.

  • Exposure to or familiarity with our tech stack: Node.js, TypeScript, Firebase, Swift, React.

  • Experience with Generative AI.

  • Experience scaling engineering processes and teams.

  • Previous involvement in recruiting, hiring, and team design at a strategic level.

  • Understanding of DevOps, CI/CD, observability, and data-driven product iteration.

Compensation and Benefits

  • Annual Salary of $230k to $260k

  • Equity in the company

  • Health, Dental & Vision Insurance (company pays 100% premium for employee)

  • 401k matching up to 4%

  • Home Office Setup, and monthly Internet reimbursement (up to $80/month)

  • 4 weeks of PTO. After 2 years in the company you get 5 extra vacation days, and 5 more after 4 years.

  • Annual company retreats, the last one was in Chile 🇨🇱

  • Annual week-long rotations between the US and Chile.

At Copilot Money, we believe that diverse teams build better products.
