Front End / Full Stack Engineer

The infrastructure managing $300 trillion in assets was built in the 90s. Now, all of it is up for grabs. The winner of the AI era of investment management will be a $100B+ company. We intend to be that company.

To get there, we're assembling the most talent-dense startup in New York. We hire people who are 1) exceptional, 2) allergic to anything that's not exceptional, and 3) recruiters of other exceptional people. We also have no tolerance for brilliant jerks.

We run lean by design. We work with a select group of the largest financial institutions in the world, go incredibly deep with each, and sit in the flow of trillions of dollars. We hire fewer people, ask each to own the outcome, and pay on impact - not tenure or experience.

Moment is not for everyone. The standards are unreasonably high. The pace is intense. And there is no playbook.

In return: the best work of your career, building a generational company.

Moment is the AI operating system for investment management, built for the world's largest wealth firms and fintechs. Moment works with firms managing more than $10 trillion in client assets and is backed by Index, a16z, and Lightspeed. Moment was founded by former quants from Citadel and Jane Street and is based in NYC.

The role

As we enter a new era, we're hiring a Frontend Engineer to help shape how Moment shows up for the people who use it every day.

We're building software for the leading financial institutions of the world - and the interfaces we ship carry a tremendous amount of weight. Our users move billions of dollars through our products and need to see, understand, and act on dense, fast-moving information in real time. The frontend is not a thin layer over an API; it's where complexity gets translated into clarity, and where craft is most visible.

As a Frontend Engineer at Moment, you will architect and ship interfaces that make hard problems feel effortless. You'll build performant UIs that handle enormous volumes of data, real-time updates, and the kind of operational complexity that demands serious engineering thought. Moment will be a generational company, and the products you build will define how an entire industry experiences modern financial software.

You'll work closely with design, product, and engineering leadership to deliver experiences that are as ambitious and distinctive as the company itself. This is a highly autonomous, highly collaborative role. You are equally comfortable thinking in systems and pixels, and the details that matter. You can navigate different levels of abstraction - from component architecture and state management to interaction design and motion. You can clearly articulate, lead, and execute work that spans engineering and design.
