About the role
We're looking for a Staff Software Engineer (Full Stack) with 2+ years of experience (ideally 4+ YOE) to join Pillar's product engineering team. We need a product-minded builder who takes end-to-end ownership — from shaping the roadmap to shipping customer-facing features — in a zero-PM environment. This is a high-priority hire as Pillar scales its risk management platform for the physical economy.
Responsibilities
- Own core product features end-to-end — architecture, build, iteration, and scaling — with direct input on roadmap decisions
- Build high-performance UIs that render real-time market data, automated hedge recommendations, and open position tracking
- Develop backend APIs and automated workflows that power the customer-facing product
- Work directly with the CTO, co-founder, and in-house designer to translate complex financial risk workflows into intuitive experiences
- Integrate LLMs and AI-driven insights into mission-critical operator workflows
- Contribute to engineering culture and best practices as an early team member with outsized organizational influence
