Senior/Staff Web Engineer

About Finary

We're building a one-stop shop for investing that gives power back to individual investors. Finary lets users track their assets, manage budgets, invest money, and learn about finance, all in one place.

Launched in 2021, we've grown to 850,000+ users. In September 2025, we closed a €25M Series B led by PayPal Ventures, with backing from Y Combinator, Hedosophia, Speedinvest, and founders from Qonto, Photoroom, Bitpanda, UBS, and Wise.

We care deeply about user experience, performance, and shipping products that genuinely improve people's financial lives.

TL;DR

You'll build and ship features used by 850,000+ users on Finary's web platform, working with React and Next.js in a modern, AI-native engineering environment. This is a high-autonomy role where you'll contribute to architecture decisions and ship at high velocity alongside a small, senior team.

What you'll do

• Build and ship delightful features end-to-end on Finary's web platform

• Contribute to architecture decisions and technical direction: this isn't just feature work, you'll shape how we build

• Collaborate closely with backend engineers to define API contracts and communication patterns

• Partner with product managers and designers to turn product vision into polished, high-quality experiences

• Leverage AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) to multiply your output: we believe writing code manually is no longer where your value lies

• Raise the bar on code quality, developer experience, and engineering practices

What we're looking for

• Strong expertise in modern JavaScript/TypeScript. NextJS experience is a plus

• Solid understanding of backend systems and computer science fundamentals: you can work with backend engineers to define contracts and reason about system design

• AI pioneer: you've understood that manual code-writing is mostly solved and actively use AI tools to multiply your productivity. If your current company restricts AI usage, you have personal projects that demonstrate your expertise

• Senior or Staff level: you don't just ship features, you contribute to architecture, mentor peers, and drive technical decisions

• Radical ownership: you own outcomes, move fast, and don't wait for permission

• Fluent in English: written and spoken. Our engineering team works in English

Nice to have

• Fintech or personal finance experience

• Contributions to open-source projects

Tech stack

• Frontend: React, Next.js, TypeScript

• Backend (for context): Rust, Ruby, Python

• Database: PostgreSQL

• Infrastructure: GCP, Terraform

• Ops: GitHub, Datadog, Sentry

• AI tooling: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex

What we offer

Compensation

• Level 1 (learning the craft): €30-60K

• Level 2 (level 1 + autonomy): €60-80K

• Level 3 (level 2 + ownership): €70-90K

• Level 4 (level 3 + technical leadership): €80-110K

• Level 5 (level 4 + shapes company direction): €100-130K

• We can go higher for outstanding profiles. This role is open from Level 4 to Level 5 depending on experience.

Team

You'll join an engineering team of ~30, organized in four full-stack squads (Track, Investment, Crypto, Finary One) plus a platform team (SRE, security, data). Your manager will be an Engineering Manager. You'll work daily with backend engineers, product managers, and designers.

Squads are fluid: they exist to solve specific problems and evolve as priorities shift. You'll have stability within a squad but move across them as needed. At our current size (3 web engineers), there's high flexibility without over-specialization.

Benefits

• Hybrid setup: teammates across France and Europe, with in-person weeks in Paris 6 times per year (travel and accommodation covered)

• High-performing environment with A-players who challenge you and help you grow

• Impact that matters: build products that help people take control of their financial future

• Modern stack and best-in-class AI tooling provided

How we work

We ship fast and iterate constantly. Every engineer is expected to experiment with AI tools, with the condition that it never comes at the cost of quality. We believe the best engineers today are the ones who've understood that their value lies in judgment, architecture, and taste, not in typing code.

We value shipping over planning, quality over speed-for-speed's-sake, and trust over process.

Even if you don't check every box, we encourage you to apply. We value diverse perspectives and are more interested in your potential than a perfect match to our checklist.
