Old Well Labs is a Charlotte-based financial intelligence startup used by leading allocators and the fund managers they invest with. Our platform turns billions of disclosures into structured data on 20,000+ funds, 1.4M people, and 10,000+ LPs — helping customers discover managers, monitor their moves, and connect with the right partners.
About the RoleWe’re hiring a Staff Full Stack Engineer to own and evolve major parts of our product.
