Job Description: As the first engineering hire at Kip, you will build the “Personal CFO” for younger generations. You will architect AI-native systems that automate complex wealth management, from tax optimization engines to life‑event simulators. Working directly with a Stanford/IIT‑educated CTO, you will transform fragmented financial data into actionable, hyper‑personalized wealth‑building moves.

- Build sophisticated AI agents and simulation engines that solve the generational wealth gap, backed by a recently closed first round of funding.
What you will do:
- Design and implement secure, SOC 2‑compliant data pipelines that aggregate and structure complex financial documents using bank‑grade encryption.
- Build a high‑fidelity life event simulator and tax optimization engine that models hundreds of financial scenarios to deliver hyper‑personalized strategies.
- Develop and deploy autonomous AI agents that monitor financial goals in the background and execute proactive wealth‑building moves for users.
The ideal candidate:
- 2+ years of experience building and debugging production‑grade systems with a proven track record of shipping software from scratch to users.
- Native fluency in AI‑first workflows, utilizing LLMs to accelerate development and building products where AI is the core engine, not an add‑on.
- Strong systems thinker with an ownership mentality who is comfortable navigating the ambiguity and fast‑paced environment of an early‑stage startup.
