Last updated July 16, 2024

Job Status (Check here for updates): This position has been filled and we are no longer accepting applications.

Nectarine is seeking our first employee! We launched publicly in February of 2024 and have already served over 1,000 customers and are generating about $50,000 per month in sales. We have not raised any funding or taken on any debt, so this is an opportunity to get in very early on a profitable startup with an amazing team of founders!

About You

We’re seeking an expert full-stack software engineer looking to work for an exciting startup with unlimited upside potential.

Employee #1 will work with founder Jeremy who has built the entire application to date, and take on a lead development role. We’re seeking someone who:

Loves software engineering
Has a strong understanding of internet technologies
Has an entrepreneurial spirit
Sometimes has their best ideas in the shower or on a run
Wants to make a big impact on the course of the product and company
Is fun, positive, happy, and easy to work with, like we are!

You should have significant experience with:

Modern software development (we use C# and React)
Software engineering best practices (Github, Continuous Integration, Unit/Integration tests, etc)
Databases (we use PostgreSQL)
Web technologies (HTML, CSS, Javascript, React, etc.)
Cloud technologies (We use AWS, RDS, ElasticBeanstalk, etc)
Visual design experience is a plus

No specific level of education is required, but it’s likely that the candidate we’re looking for will have at least a Bachelor’s in Computer Science or something closely related.

About The Company

Getting professional investment advice sucks. The industry is full of commissioned sales people and asset managers looking to manage your money and provide limited value in return. We’re disrupting the financial advice industry and building a hugely successful company along the way!

We’ve spent most of the last year working hard bringing Nectarine to life. We have done market validation, built the product, onboarded the best advisors in the industry, and are already delighting customers every day. We’ve already served over 1,000 customers with an average review score of 4.95 stars. We’re seeking our first employee to help continue to build out the technology while we scale up the business.

Other than a small, no-strings-attached loan from Jeremy, Nectarine hasn’t raised or borrowed any money yet. Our general mindset is to delay that as long as possible and focus on building a growing business.

About The Job

Title: We don’t really do titles yet, but it would be the equivalent something like “Senior Engineer”, “Principal Engineer” or “VP of Engineering” based on the candidate.
Remote (US-based preferred)
Full time, salaried (Paid hourly if local law requires) or contract work considered.
Benefits: None yet, but we’ll add as we grow
PTO: Unlimited with a minimum requirement of one week per quarter vacation
Fun, relaxed culture working with Jeremy, Vivi, and Shane! We’re three high performers excited about building something cool with minimal corporate nonsense along the way.

About The Pay

We’re offering $100,000 per year (or the hourly equivalent) plus 50,000 to 200,000 shares of stock, which equates to 0.5% to 2% ownership, based on experience. This may represent a significant pay cut for you, but we’re hoping to find the right person who can temporarily take the financial risk in exchange for an exciting startup with unlimited upside potential! We plan to aggressively grow pay and benefits along with the company.
