Senior Software Engineer

We’re solving some of the hardest problems in venture capital and private markets. You’ll work with a team that values precision, urgency, and long-term thinking. If you want to shape how startups are funded and built, this is the place.

We exist to accelerate innovation by increasing the number of successful startups in the world. We do this by building the financial infrastructure that makes it easier for more people to invest in world-changing companies.

AngelList is the nexus of venture capital and the startup community. We support $171B+ in assets and have powered investments into over 13,000 startups—over 300 of which are unicorns. Today, 57% of top-tier U.S. VC deals involve investors on AngelList. While our scale is large, our ambition is larger.

If you're excited to build the future of private markets, come build with us.

AngelList is seeking Senior Software Engineers to join one of our core engineering teams. At AngelList, we pride ourselves on having an outsized impact on the industry. Teams are explicitly small and built on mutual respect, high trust, and low management. It's not a fit for everyone, but when there's a fit, it’s one of the most rewarding places to work!

We have other engineering opportunities posted for specific teams, so please just apply to one. Not all roles are posted individually. The team will consider you for all open roles that could be a fit.

You will have the opportunity to:

• Help build the world's easiest-to-use financial platform for private markets
• Connect startups and investors around the world who would never have had a chance to meet without AngelList
• Learn the venture financing business inside and out - from the ground up
• Have more ownership and responsibility for shipping large features and improving our codebase
• Accelerate innovation in the world!

You are most likely:

• A full-stack generalist (or backend specialist able to work the full stack) with 4+ years of experience building large-scale web applications
• Writing clean, scalable code with significant experience in at least one of the primary programming languages we use here (Ruby and TypeScript)
• Excited to move fast, prioritize, and constantly make critical product decisions
• Comfortable with and curious about working outside of a traditional, narrow engineering role
• A self-starter: you have started something meaningful on your own–a startup, an open-source project, something else
• Deeply passionate about startups (https://venturehacks.com/save-the-world)

How success will be measured in this role:

• Consistently delivers high-quality, well-tested code that meets the team’s goals and timelines.
• Actively contributes to team discussions and decisions, bringing thoughtful technical perspectives.
• Mentors and supports other engineers, helping to elevate the overall team performance.

Working Here

If you don’t meet every requirement above, we still encourage you to apply. We value complementary strengths and operators who learn by doing.

AngelList has offices in a few cities, with our engineering hub in San Francisco. We’re building our engineering and product teams around this hub to make the most of in-person collaboration. We have a hybrid in-office model: teammates come in at least 2 days per week (Tuesdays and either Wednesday or Thursday).

Compensation:
The compensation for this role consists of a competitive base salary, benefits, and equity package. The base salary for this role is $200,000+ annually but actual will vary based on a number of factors including a candidate’s professional background, experience, and location. Additional details about our Total Rewards package will be provided during the recruitment process.
