Senior Software Engineer, Nova Product

About the Role

Nova is building the banking and payments network for private markets. Fund managers, fund administrators, and investors use our software to manage subscriptions, capital calls, and distributions. Nova currently supports $1.2B+ in deposits, $100M+ in weekly transfers across six bank integrations, and ~150k verified investors.

As a Senior Software Engineer on Nova Product, you will own high-stakes customer workflows end to end across money-movement and identity systems, taking difficult workflows from ambiguous problems through launch and operation.

What You'll Do

• Design, build, and ship complex workflows for distributions and capital calls, subscriptions, data rooms, and the LP wallet and portal.
• Take difficult problems from design through release and operation, handling edge cases and long-tail requirements.
• Build for correctness, resilience, and strong UX where real money and investor trust are at stake.
• Model complex business domains and build maintainable systems and abstractions.
• Improve the team's work through thoughtful code reviews, design feedback, and mentoring other engineers.
• Work with Product/Design and Foundations teams to integrate product features cleanly with core systems.

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years building backend or full-stack web applications, including meaningful experience with complex, quality-critical products.
• Senior-level impact: experience owning significant features or systems from ambiguity through launch and operation.
• Strong architecture and data-modeling skills.
• Fluency in a modern TypeScript stack (or evidence of ramping quickly), comfortable with GraphQL APIs, PostgreSQL, and workflow orchestration.
• Comfort working in a fast-paced startup environment.

Nice to Have

• Experience in fintech, payments, or other high-stakes domains.
• Experience taking greenfield product areas from zero to one and scaling mature ones.
• Familiarity with event-driven architectures and workflow orchestration.
• Experience collaborating with platform or infrastructure teams.
