Senior Software Engineer, Payments

About AngelList Private markets are the new public markets. The most important companies of this era are private, and almost no one can own them. What's missing is the financial system public markets spent a century building: exchanges, custodians, brokers, and ways for ordinary people to buy in. Private markets, now $28T, never had the equivalent.

AngelList is building it. The last decade of structural innovation in venture happened here: syndicates, SPVs at scale, Rolling Funds, scout programs. Today we have $200B+ in assets and 30,000+ startups funded on our platform. The rest of private markets is next. Funds is the software and services behind private funds, Nova is the banking network, Meridian is the wealth platform for accredited investors, and USVC is the brand behind a registered fund that lets anyone invest in venture.

Working here means an unusual amount of agency on a problem that matters. Titles are closer to suggestions, and there are about 200 of us building what private markets never had. Come build it with us.

About the Role

Nova is building the banking and payments network for private markets. This infrastructure moves money between funds and investors for subscriptions, capital calls, and distributions. Nova currently supports $1.2B+ in deposits, $100M+ in weekly transfers across six bank integrations, and ~150k verified investors. Moving large sums between funds and investors is among the highest-stakes work in private markets.

Getting every transaction right is how Nova earns and keeps the trust of GPs and LPs. If you're a Senior Software Engineer who wants to build the financial infrastructure behind private markets, Nova Foundations gives you the opportunity to own significant parts of these systems end to end. The team owns the ledger, bank and payment integrations, KYC, and secure PII storage across money movement and risk and compliance.

You'll take difficult money-movement and identity problems from ambiguity through launch and operation. The team will rely on you to get every detail right in a domain where correctness and auditability are non-negotiable.
