Software Engineer 1 (Full-Stack) at Prometheum – New York | Jobyssey

About Us:-

Prometheum is building the market infrastructure that brings securities onto the blockchain. Our SEC-registered broker-dealer network carries a digital asset through its entire life, from issuance and distribution to qualified custody, correspondent clearing, and secondary market trading, all within U.S. securities law.

That work has put us first more than once. We became the first SEC-registered special purpose broker-dealer, and the first to trade ETH inside a traditional brokerage account. Those milestones rest on systems our engineers build every day, and we are searching for engineers like you to help us grow our team.

Role:-
Software Engineer 1 (Full-Stack) - Full Time W2

Salary Range:-
$90,000 to $120,000 + stock options

Overview:-

This is an early-career role for an engineer who wants to grow quickly on a production system where quality matters and the regulatory stakes are real.

As a Software Engineer 1, your job is to build and ship. You will work across our TypeScript/Node back end and React front end, starting with small, clearly defined pieces of work and taking on more as your understanding of the system grows. You will have a dedicated onboarding buddy, a team lead who meets with you weekly, and teammates who pair with you rather than leaving you to figure it out alone.

Our engineering team is fully remote.

Responsibilities:-

Ship work across the stack, from bug fixes and small features to test coverage and tech debt, with support from senior engineers
Use AI coding tools as a default part of your workflow, and review what they produce with the same rigor you would apply to your own code
Trace real requests end-to-end (front end, API, services, database) and build a working mental model of how custody, clearing, and trading fit together
Participate in code review, first as a learner asking questions, then as a reviewer who catches edge cases and test gaps
Take part in all scrum ceremonies: refinement, sprint kick-off, standup, demos, and retro
Work directly with Product, QA, and UX to clarify requirements, reproduce bugs, and ask design questions
Investigate and resolve QA/UAT issues, pairing when you need to

Qualifications:-

Up to 2 years of professional software engineering experience
Working knowledge of JavaScript or TypeScript, and comfort with at least one of Node.js (back end) or React (front end)
Hands-on experience with AI coding assistants, plus the judgment to know when their output is wrong
Familiarity with relational databases and writing SQL
Comfort with git-based workflows: branch, PR, review, CI
Clear written communication, with a strong command of the English language
The instinct to ask for help at the right time
Authorized to work in the U.S. or Canada
Able to pass a comprehensive background check, which is required for this role

Nice to have:-

Exposure to microservices, Docker, or cloud platforms (AWS)
Automated testing experience
Any background in finance, brokerage, trading, or blockchain. Genuine curiosity counts more than credentials here.
Experience with Jira, Confluence, or similar

How we work:-

Fully remote engineering. We work together in real time, with overlapping hours for pairing, reviews, and ceremonies.
AI-forward. We actively champion AI and tooling that ships customer value faster without giving up quality. Engineers at every level are expected to use these tools well and to bring what they find back to the team.
Feedback is specific and regular. Quarterly reviews, weekly 1:1s, and a candid conversation when something is not landing, not a surprise at year end.
Product-led mindset. We measure work by its impact on customers, not volume shipped.

Benefits:-

Health, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance
Stock options
Competitive vacation time, paid sick days, and time off for observed federal holidays
Equipment provided

Prometheum is an equal opportunity employer. We believe a wide range of perspectives is integral to building a platform that meets the highest regulatory standards while delivering an exceptional user experience. We encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds.
