About Savvy Wealth:
Wealth management is a $545 billion industry in the US, yet remains archaic and inefficient with low technology penetration. 75% of financial advisors don’t offer digital communication beyond email, and 62% still build financial plans manually in Excel. This leads to a poor client experience and results in financial advisors spending over 70% of their time on non-client facing, manual work.

Savvy is changing that. We’re building the most advisor-centric platform in wealth management: a digital-first solution that modernizes human financial advice. Advisors who partner with Savvy tap into AI-powered software, automated sales and marketing, and seamless back office workflows to scale faster and spend more time with clients.

We’ve raised over $105M to date from Thrive Capital, Index Ventures, Canvas Ventures, Mark Casady (former LPL Financial CEO), and other top-tier investors. Our team is made up of repeat founders and operators who’ve helped build Airbnb, Square, Brex, Carta, Facebook, $200B+ RIAs, and more.

Savvy is at a pivotal point in its growth trajectory, having established strong product-market fit in providing a modern platform to financial advisors. We’ve surpassed $2.2 billion in AUM in less than three years, grown 600%+ in the last 18 months, and are entering the next phase of the company which involves rapid expansion of our product offering and continued revenue growth. Come help us scale!

Responsibilities:

  • Work directly with advisors and internal stakeholders to understand onboarding requirements, migrate data, and build custom solutions that accelerate their success on Savvy

  • Own the end-to-end product lifecycle of these initiatives from discovery and design through implementation, deployment, and iteration

  • Produce high-quality, maintainable, production-ready code that balances customer urgency with long-term scalability

  • Partner closely with Product, Design, and Operations teams to translate real customer needs into platform improvements

  • Debug, diagnose, and resolve live issues in collaboration with clients and internal teams

  • Contribute to tooling, automation, and process improvements that make future advisor migrations faster and more sustainable

  • Travel within the United States as needed (approximately 2-4 times per quarter) for customer migrations and collaboration sessions, typically 2 days each

  • Please note, we expect folks to work in office Tuesday-Thursday with the option to work from home on Mondays and Fridays

Must have:

  • 5+ years of experience building and scaling production web applications

  • Strong full-stack proficiency including web frameworks (Rails preferred), front-end frameworks and libraries (React preferred), and SQL databases

  • Strong experience with Excel, Google Sheets, and other tools to collect and mutate data in customer-friendly formats

  • Proven ability to collaborate in fast-moving, cross-functional startup environments with excellent technical communication skills

  • Comfort working in ambiguous, customer-driven environments and balancing rapid delivery with maintainable engineering

Nice to have:

  • Experience in fintech or wealth management, especially around data migration, integrations, or advisor operations

  • Experience leveraging AI directly and various AI tools to translate data and integrate disparate systems, including those without APIs

  • Prior customer-facing engineering experience (e.g., forward-deployed, professional services, or implementation engineering)

Savvy Wealth is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to fostering an inclusive work environment that values diversity and individual contributions.

Benefits:

  • Competitive salary and equity package

  • Unlimited PTO + paid company holidays

Wealth management is a massive industry in the US ($545 billion annual revenue), but remains archaic and inefficient with low technology penetration. 75% of financial advisors do not offer any digital communication beyond emails and 62% of them conduct financial planning manually (for example, in Excel), resulting in a poor client experience and over 70% of a financial advisor’s time spent on non-client facing tasks.

Savvy is a digital-first platform for financial advisors centered around modernizing human financial advice. Financial advisors who partner with Savvy leverage the integrated technology platform to help supercharge growth with AI-powered software, sales and marketing automation, and back office workflows. Savvy’s proprietary technology empowers financial advisors to help scale revenue faster and spend more time focused on growth.

We are a team of former founders and operators who have started and sold two companies and have helped build iconic companies including Airbnb, Square, Robinhood, Facebook, and more.

We’ve raised $34M from top-tier VC firms, including Canvas Ventures, Thrive Capital, Index Ventures, Brewer Lane Ventures, The House Fund, and a panel of A-list founders & executives from the technology & wealth management industry.

Savvy is at a pivotal point in its growth trajectory, having established strong product-market fit by providing a modern platform to financial advisors. We’ve grown 700%+ in the last 12 months and are entering the next phase of the company, which involves rapid expansion of our product offering and revenue growth. Apply below to help us scale!
