hn · REMOTE ALMOST ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD · $750k
Jose is a founding engineer with proven 0→1 product-building experience at scale (Addie serving 10+ countries, 8M-user Mycelium), deep full-stack capabilities across Python, TypeScript, React/Next.js, and PostgreSQL that directly match Albert's stack, and a track record of owning consumer products end-to-end with real consequences. His recent AI product work and 12 years shipping systems where failure is expensive align perfectly with Albert's need for someone comfortable with scale, real money, and direct ownership. He explicitly demonstrates the craft-level quality and prototype-shipping mindset Albert seeks, with particular strength in building consumer-facing systems from empty repo to production serving millions.
Hook: You've built real-time AI voice for thousands of concurrent users and scaled systems to 8M users—Albert needs exactly this kind of founding engineer to own their next consumer product from zero with 20M+ users and real money on day one.
Missing: Fintech domain experience, Investment/banking product knowledge

Hi Albert team, You're building net-new consumer products from zero, with 20M+ users and real money on day one. That's the work I do best. At Addie I was the first and only engineer — took an AI voice platform from empty repo to production, now serving students across 10+ countries at 99.9% reliability. Built real-time voice on WebRTC + OpenAI at sub-200ms across thousands of concurrent sessions, and owned every build-vs-buy call along the way. Before that I was a core frontend engineer on a crypto wallet at 8M users, so scale and real consequences aren't new to me. Your stack (Python, Postgres, React/React Native) is where I live daily, and I ship prototypes on weekends because I can't help it. Happy to share more or jump on a call whenever works.

ALBERT | REMOTE ALMOST ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD| Hiring principal and distinguished engineers to build net new products | up to ~ $750k Hiring: exceptional consumer product engineers at Albert. We're a consumer fintech with 20M+ users who trust us to budget, save, invest, and bank in one place. Profitable for 4+ years. And as of today, our average employee tenure is 3.6 years, a number you almost never see in startup tech, and one we're quietly proud of. People stay because the work is good, the people are sharp, and we've built something worth staying for. Now we're building net-new consumer products from zero, and we're looking for people who love to tinker and build stuff to ship them with us. The kind of person we're looking for: • Top fraction of a percentile in craft, the kind of good that's hard to fake • Builds for fun, not just for work. The kind who ships a working prototype over the weekend and can't help themselves • Comfortable owning 0 to 1 consumer products end-to-end • Allergic to politics, theater, and bureaucracy What you get: • Remote, anywhere with reasonable timezone overlap (and for someone truly exceptional, we'll make async work) • Real scale from day one (20M+ users, real money, real consequences) • Compensation that beats the market. We pay well and we mean it. Base, discretionary year-end bonus, meaningful 401(k) match, and meaningful equity in a profitable, growing unicorn (the kind that's actually worth something) • Platinum PPO health benefits with Blue Shield, top of the top of the line, covering your entire family • A mission worth your time: make money simple, so people spend less time managing it and keep more of it • Small senior-heavy teams, direct ownership, no layers • Forthcoming with the business metrics that matter, so you always know how the company is actually doing • The startup perks done right: catered lunches, wellness stipend, team offsites, casual dress. The stuff that compounds when you're showing up engaged for years, not months • Profitable for 4+ years, so you build with conviction, not runway anxiety Stack: python, claude, postgres, react.js /react native If this is you, email us at recruiting@albert.com Edit: we are in the process of rebuilding our career site to speak to how we hire (e.g. hunt, dont post, find the best). Just an FYI Also, we carefully review every application. If we think there may be a fit, we'll reach out within a few business days. Either way, thank you for your interest in what we're building and for taking the time to connect with us.
