Job Description
Full Stack Engineer, Flourish
Full-Time, New York City
The Opportunity
Our mission is to provide innovative access to financial products that help RIAs secure their
clients’ financial futures and the Flourish Engineers play a key role in doing just that. We’re
seeking backend and full-stack engineers to help build a scalable platform. Cross functional
collaboration is key to success and you will collaborate with teams across the organization,
including Product, Design, Operations and Risk.
You will develop a deep understanding of at least one business line and partner with product
managers, business leaders, and fellow engineers to solve complex business problems with
software and deliver commercially feasible and viable solutions. Working with other engineers,
you will bring ideas from the whiteboard to reality, making key architectural decisions, extending
existing features, designing and developing entirely new services and applications, and
performing code and architecture reviews. You have deep knowledge of distributed systems and
application service frameworks, and are excited to work throughout the tech-stack to deliver a
delightful experience for customers and coworkers.
The Team
Since 2017, Flourish has been on a mission to help financial advisors evolve from holistic advice to holistic implementation to more fully serve their clients and achieve better outcomes. We focus on independent Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs), delivering financial products that advisors can’t easily access today through beautiful, scalable, and easy-to-use technology.
Today, we work with over 900 RIAs that collectively represent more than $1.6T in assets under management across two products — Flourish Annuities and Flourish Cash — and with our recent acquisition of Sora Finance, we’ll be adding a lending offering in 2026. Headquartered in New York City, we are an independently-operating, wholly-owned subsidiary of MassMutual Life Insurance Company.
Read on if you are interested in joining a small, highly-collaborative, rapidly-growing startup—backed by the support and stability of a Fortune 500 company.
The Impact
You are an engineer, first and foremost. You can rapidly build products that will delight users,
with best practices in terms of both development and security. You thrive in a work environment
that requires strong problem solving skills and independent self-direction, coupled with an
aptitude for team collaboration and open communication. You are a strong communicator,
explaining complex technical concepts to designers, support, and other engineers is no problem
for you.
You possess strong computer science fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, programming
languages, distributed systems, and information retrieval. And finally, your accomplishments
are much more important than your paper credentials.
