Altruist is transforming the wealth management industry by building an AI platform for financial advisors. The company partners with financial advisors nationwide to help them grow, optimize resources, and deliver superior client outcomes.
You will join the Engineering organization during an exceptional growth phase, working on high-impact, high-visibility projects with a focus on security, scalability, and reliability of the platform that clients trust with their assets. The recruitment team will work with you to match you to the right opportunity aligned with your career growth.
Key responsibilities include:
- Act as a leader and steward of engineering best practices, mentoring other engineers and developing impactful solutions
- Independently take defined problems from design through implementation into production
- Build and extend identity and access management capabilities: authentication, authorization, RBAC, and OAuth/OIDC flows
- Implement improvements to AWS and cloud infrastructure, including security posture, configuration, and operational guardrails
- Improve database performance, security, and optimization across high-volume, transactional systems
- Harden APIs, services, and distributed systems against failure and abuse
- Contribute to production reliability through incident response, remediation, root cause analysis, and observability improvements
- Partner with the Security/CISO team to turn identified gaps into durable engineering fixes
- Analyze and solve complex problems spanning multiple user personas and workflows
- Build and scale services and user-facing web applications that are customer-centric, performant, and secure
The role is hybrid, with an expectation of being in the Culver City office three days per week.
Requirements:
- 4+ years of software engineering experience building precise and scalable distributed systems with best engineering practices
- Hands-on execution: ability to own well-defined problems end-to-end and drive to production without close direction
- Full-stack capability with backend lean: primarily a backend engineer but comfortable working across the stack; core engineering background preferred over purely product-focused background
- Track record of building, not just reviewing: shipped work in security, scale, or infrastructure; this is a builder role focused on remediation and delivering hardened systems
- B.A./B.S. degree in Computer Science or similar Engineering/Mathematics degrees (ideally)
- Technical aptitude with modern tech stacks: Java, Spring Boot, Microservices, AWS, Postgres, Kubernetes, React.js, Typescript, GraphQL
- Domain exposure in fintech, payments, or other security-sensitive, highly regulated environments (a plus)
- Ownership, superb communication, resilience, and creative problem-solving abilities
