About the Role
We are looking for an ambitious Full Stack Senior Engineer who wants to make an impact at a mission-driven company. You are excited to work with a low-ego, highly collaborative team and take on a high level of responsibility across many projects.
FreeWill has set compensation and a non-negotiation policy for fairness reasons (we don't think that an individual's pay should be determined by how comfortable they are negotiating). As a result, we like to be transparent and up front about the compensation. When we make an offer, we provide multiple options so that employees can choose between compensation packages that prioritize salary or stock options. The salary range for this role is $160,000-170,000. This role is also eligible for a signing bonus and will come with stock options and full benefits.

- Interact closely with a diverse team across legal, growth, sales, design, and product
- Mentor junior and mid-level engineers and share knowledge through code reviews, pair programming, 1-1 conversations, and broader team trainings
Technical Skills
- 5+ years building production systems for complex web applications
- Experience leading projects on teams consisting of multiple engineers, a product manager, and designer
- Business-to-Business and/or Business-to-Business-to-Consumer experience preferred, experience with fintech and/or estate planning a plus
- Early startup experience strongly preferred
- Proficient in web architecture including React, API design, and developer tooling
- Familiar with TypeScript, Express, SQL, observability, performance optimization, continuous integration, automated testing, and cloud infrastructure

- Recruiter Phone Screen (30 minutes)

Please note that steps in the hiring process can and may change and the Recruiter will be your point of contact in sharing about any updates in terms of the process. If you are selected to move forward in this process, the Recruiter will share more details about the hiring process and interviewers. However, this is a good estimate of what you can expect. For most roles, our hiring processes take an average of 4-6 weeks.
