Job Description:
Why Join AngelList We’re solving some of the hardest problems in
venture capital and private markets. You’ll work with a team that
values precision, urgency, and long-term thinking. If you want to
shape how startups are funded and built, this is the place. About
AngelList We exist to accelerate innovation by increasing the
number of successful startups in the world. We do this by building
the financial infrastructure that makes it easier for more people
to invest in world-changing companies. AngelList is the nexus of
venture capital and the startup community. We support $171B in
assets and have powered investments into over 13,000 startups—over
300 of which are unicorns. Today, 57% of top-tier U.S. VC deals
involve investors on AngelList. While our scale is large, our
ambition is larger. If you're excited to build the future of
private markets, come build with us. About the Role: Our north
star: self-serve fund management. The Funds team owns the workflows
that GPs rely on daily: configuration, capital activity, reporting,
documents, and the UI that makes it all feel intuitive. This is a
Staff Engineer opportunity to rebuild the GP experience from the
ground up. You'll set the architectural direction for the new
dashboard experiences, define how AI gets embedded into fund
management workflows, and work directly with customers to win
accounts 5-6X our current average. Your decisions will shape how
tens of billions of dollars flow in and out of startups, and create
a new standard for the end user experience. You will have the
opportunity to: Define the architecture of the new GP dashboard as
we rebuild it from the ground up - setting the foundational
patterns the team reaches for as the experience scales to
institutional funds. Own the product-level decisions that determine
what self-serve looks like for institutional GPs, working closely
with PMs and customers to shape what gets built, not just how .
Identify where AI can eliminate operational friction in fund
management workflows. Turn multi-step processes that currently
require an operator into something a GP can do in seconds. Drive
technical direction across the boundaries between Funds and
adjacent systems (LP onboarding, subscriptions, treasury) so that
the GP experience is coherent end-to-end. Raise the ceiling of a
small, high-ownership team through design reviews, architectural
patterns, and the kind of judgment that makes senior engineers
around you better. You most likely: Have operated at staff level or
equivalent. You are highly autonomous, have had impact beyond your
immediate team, and have a track record of architectural decisions
that held up as systems scaled. Are as comfortable on a customer
call as in a systems design review, able to understand what a GP
actually needs and ship it without a lengthy handoff chain. Have
demonstrated a multiplier effect on engineering teams. You’ve been
the person who defined the patterns a team reached for—and the team
was measurably better for it. Have a deep love of startups, having
worked at one (or potentially started one). The domain is part of
the job. Have strong hands-on coding ability. You write production
code regularly, review others’ work rigorously, and have no
interest in becoming a purely advisory engineer. Are curious about
AI as applied infrastructure—not hype, but genuine interest in
where it can make financial workflows more accurate, more
automated, and more trustworthy. Working Here If you don’t meet
every requirement above, we still encourage you to apply. We value
complementary strengths and operators who learn by doing. AngelList
has offices in a few cities, New York City and San Francisco. We
have a hybrid in-office model: teammates come in at least 2 days
per week (Tuesdays and either Wednesday or Thursday). Exceptions
may be made for exceptional individual contributor candidates in
other locations. Compensation: The compensation for this role
consists of a competitive base salary, benefits, and equity
package. The base salary for this role is $240,000 annually but
actual will vary based on a number of factors including a
candidate’s professional background, experience, and location. Full
details about our Total Rewards package will be provided during the
recruitment process. Benefits: We support your life both in and
outside of work. Explore our benefits Learn about Funders &
Founders What Guides Us: At AngelList, we are united in our purpose
to accelerate innovation and build the future of private markets.
