Senior Software Engineer

Hybrid - New York, NY

Company Description

Farther is a rapidly growing RIA that combines expert advisors with cutting-edge technology - delivering a comprehensive, tailored wealth management experience.

Farther’s founders are leaders and innovators from the private wealth industry who possess a unique blend of traditional wealth management, fintech, and technology production expertise. We’re backed by top-tier venture capital firms, fintech investors, and industry leaders.

Joining Farther means joining a collaborative team of entrepreneurs who are passionate about helping their clients and our teammates achieve more. If you’re the type who breaks through walls to get things done the right way, we want to build the future of wealth management with you.

The Role 

As a Senior Software Engineer at Farther, you'll solve real business problems across our entire stack. You'll understand business objectives, ideate solutions, and deliver end-to-end.

We're building an elite engineering team. We look for three things: deep technical expertise in your craft, high horsepower to rapidly context-switch across complex problems, and a track record of winning in multiple areas of your life.

We operate differently than most companies. Engineers have real autonomy and ownership over their work – you'll make technical decisions, own outcomes, and be measured by results, not process. You'll have the flexibility to work how you work best, with the trust and freedom to get things done the right way.

We're extremely bullish on AI as a force multiplier. We expect engineers to leverage AI tools throughout the development lifecycle – from ideation to implementation to testing. AI helps you ship faster, handle complexity better, and focus your energy on solving the hardest problems rather than writing boilerplate code.

Your Impact 

  • Own and deliver features end-to-end, from understanding business requirements through production deployment
  • Work across the full stack, building UIs, designing APIs, and architecting backend services
  • Leverage AI tools to ship faster and multiply your effectiveness – use modern technology to accelerate every part of your workflow
  • Jump into difficult problems with tenacity, whether production issues, complex debugging, or unfamiliar codebases
  • Make autonomous technical decisions and own the outcomes – you have the freedom to choose the right approach
  • Collaborate directly with product, design, and business stakeholders to solve user problems
  • Contribute to architectural decisions and engineering best practices

The Ideal Match 

  • 6+ years of software engineering experience working across the full stack
  • Fluency with AI coding tools – you should already be using them to multiply your output and looking for ways to work smarter
  • Self-directed and autonomous – you thrive with ownership, work independently on high-level guidance, and prefer results over rigid process
  • Product-focused mindset – code exists to solve business problems, not for its own sake
  • Outstanding communication – you explain complex concepts clearly and provide actionable updates
  • Builder mentality – you ship working software and iterate, not write specs endlessly
  • Tenacity to tackle difficult problems head-on
  • Track record of winning in multiple areas of your life

Bonus Points 

  • Experience building financial services, trading systems, or wealth management platforms
  • Background in high-availability system design and real-time data processing
  • Experience with event-driven architectures
  • Knowledge of financial regulatory requirements and compliance

Why Join Us

  • Competitive comp package that rewards impact
  • Work alongside some of the brightest minds in fintech
  • Ground-floor opportunity at a fast-scaling startup
  • Chart your own growth path as we expand
  • Full health benefits + 401(k) matching & Roth IRA options
  • Unlimited PTO
  • An amazing collaborative atmosphere between product, design, and engineering to solve hard problems together

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
