Remote NA Software Engineer Frontend Engineer Performance Management Apollo React TypeScript Sentry

Requirements

• Four or more years of software engineering experience, most of it in frontend work, at companies with strong engineering practices. • Strong frontend engineers tend to skew. Some toward visual craft and interaction detail, some toward component systems and data flow. We're hiring at both ends of that range, so tell us which one you are. We have teams that need each. • You care about quality. You notice when something is a half-step slow or has some jank in the animation, and it bothers you enough that you fix it. • You're curious about the domain. You'll learn enough about trusts and transfer tax to argue about how they should be presented.

Responsibilities

• Build AI-native interfaces. You'll build agent chat surfaces that know what the advisor is looking at, ambient agents whose work has to be visible and reviewable, diagrams of entity structures with dozens of relationships, and views that make the implications of a multi-decade projection obvious at a glance. • Build AI-native interfaces. • Own the frontend architecture. Component patterns, Apollo cache and state management, performance, and the shared primitives everyone else builds on top of. • Own the frontend architecture. • Partner with design. Day to day with experienced product designers and our Head of Design. We want your opinions early, while things are still cheap to change. • Partner with design. • Finish things. Empty states, loading behavior, and keyboard paths are the little things that make software feel delightful and trustworthy. • Finish things. • React, TypeScript, GraphQL (Apollo), and Playwright • We use PostHog and Sentry for debugging, and Meticulous as an additional sanity check on changes. • Enough backend experience to shape the API you want to consume. • Curiosity substitutes fine for experience on any of it. • You communicate well. With half the team remote, overcommunication is the name of the game! • You communicate well.

Benefits

• $170K – $225K • Offers Equity • Luminary is the AI-native system of action for wealth transfer services. • High net worth households controlling more than $90 trillion in assets are meaningfully underserved by technology that was built for the mass market. As private client investment and banking products have commoditized, these clients are looking for more tax and wealth transfer advice, advice that has previously been impossible to deliver at scale. • Luminary solves this problem by transforming complex estate planning and ownership documents into a structured, proprietary data asset that powers verticalized, agent-driven workflows for tax and wealth transfer services. Our built-in multi-firm collaboration connects a client's full advisor ecosystem, and is the core infrastructure that enables our customers to deliver a highly personalized, end-to-end wealth transfer service offering at scale. • Our 1,000+ customers are leaders across the private client services ecosystem: wealth managers from exclusive multi-family offices through top private banks and trust companies, national tax advisory practices, and law firms among the AM Law 100. Our focus and proprietary data position us to expand from a wedge in wealth transfer advice into large adjacent markets including trust administration and estate distribution. • Founded and led by CEO David Barnard, former Head of Wealth Management at AllianceBernstein, Luminary is backed by 8VC, Fin Capital, Rockefeller Capital, Focus Financial Partners, and several family offices. • How we work • Every engineer ships to production multiple times a day. We make small, reviewable changes that go out through CI as soon as they're ready. • Every engineer ships to production multiple times a day. • Modern tooling.
