About Column

For companies building financial technology and transforming the financial services space, the biggest bottleneck to their growth and innovation is often the underlying banks and infrastructure stack they rely on. We have spent our careers founding and scaling companies like Plaid, Square, Meta, Blend, and Affirm, and have seen this problem firsthand — builders and developers needing to partner with traditional banks, and creating API and abstraction layers over the patchwork that is the bank, its core, and many other vendors. All of this results in a complex (and often expensive) banking supply chain involving a user, fintech, BaaS middleware provider, bank, core and the Federal Reserve.

About Column

For companies building financial technology and transforming the financial services space, the biggest bottleneck to their growth and innovation is often the underlying banks and infrastructure stack they rely on. We have spent our careers founding and scaling companies like Plaid, Square, Meta, Blend, and Affirm, and have seen this problem firsthand — builders and developers needing to partner with traditional banks, and creating API and abstraction layers over the patchwork that is the bank, its core, and many other vendors. All of this results in a complex (and often expensive) banking supply chain involving a user, fintech, BaaS middleware provider, bank, core and the Federal Reserve.

At Column, we set out to simplify and fix this. We are a bank and a software company built from the ground up, offering builders and developers technology-forward banking solutions that cut out the hundreds of vendors, middleware providers, and abstraction layers. This means a safer, more transparent, and less costly banking supply chain. Come build with us!

The Opportunity

Column is a developer-first bank, and this role sits at the heart of that mission. As a Product Engineer, you’ll be responsible for building interfaces, APIs, and backend systems that power how customers interact with our platform. You’ll write TypeScript and React for our dashboard, Go for our backend services, and report directly to our CEO and collaborate with our Head of design on product direction. This role isn’t layered with PMs (we don’t have any!) or long handoffs—you’ll own the full lifecycle of your work, from spec through deployment, including meeting with customers to understand how your projects perform in production. Our team is lean, high-trust, and execution-focused, and this role comes with real autonomy and visibility. If you're excited by technical depth, product intuition, and building critical infrastructure from first principles, you’ll thrive here.

This role is San Francisco-based, and you’ll be expected to work out of our (awesome) Presidio-based office 3+ days a week .

What You’ll Do

  • Build and maintain key user-facing and internal features across our dashboard and core systems
  • Write clean, testable TypeScript and Golang code
  • Design and document APIs, then own their implementation and reliability
  • Collaborate with engineering, compliance, business, and customers to iterate on product functionality
  • Influence product direction by bringing user feedback directly into design decisions
  • Take full ownership of projects, from idea to launch

What You’ll Need To Be Successful

  • 5+ years of production software engineering experience
  • Strong experience in TypeScript; React is a plus but not required
  • Experience with a strongly typed backend language (Go, Rust, Java, etc.) and SQL
  • Ability to work independently and drive product decisions end-to-end
  • Willingness to engage directly with customers to gather feedback
  • A high bar for quality, clarity, and performance in code

    • What You’ll Get From Us

  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision plans, including options that are 100% covered by Column for you and 100% covered for your dependents!
  • Comprehensive family planning and fertility benefits via partnership with Carrot, including reimbursement of up to $20,000 in qualified expenses
  • FSA and HSA account options to enable use of pre-tax money for medical and dependent care expenses
  • 401k plan, including self-directed brokerage options
  • Flexible time-off policy - take the time off that you want and need to relax and recharge
  • 100% paid parental leave, including 16 weeks for birth mothers, 12 weeks for primary caregivers, and 8 weeks for secondary caregivers
  • ️ Catered lunches and dinners for SF employees
  • Commuter benefits
  • Regular team building events, including annual offsite

    • Pay Transparency

    Compensation packages at Column include base salary, equity, and benefits. New hire offers are made based on a candidate's experience, expertise, geographic location, and internal pay equity relative to peers.

    The annual US base salary range for this role is $150,000-$250,000 + equity.
