Product Builder
Cache is redefining how investors manage concentrated stock wealth. We make sophisticated investment products for managing large stock positions accessible through efficiency gains in structuring, operations, and distribution.
Our flagship product, the Cache Exchange Fund, helps investors diversify concentrated equity positions without triggering taxes, combining institutional-grade structures with elegant, technology-driven execution. We've scaled to over $1.25B in assets, continue to grow rapidly and profitably, and have earned the trust of leading financial professionals nationwide. We're backed by top-tier VCs and 75+ angels across Silicon Valley and Wall Street.
We're a small team with an intense ownership mindset. Engineers pitch in on operational challenges, marketing collaborates with product, and no task is beneath anyone. We're united around solving customer problems, not departmental tasks. We trust each other's competence, communicate openly, and hold ourselves to an exceptional standard. Our belief is simple: be a nimble team that spends time on customer problems, not company-building around vanity metrics.
The shiftSoftware development has fundamentally changed. We've embraced that change fully, and it's reshaped how we think about what a small team can accomplish.
Our engineering team has seen an order-of-magnitude increase in throughput over the past year. Work that would have taken the full team months now gets done in weeks. The constraint on what we ship is no longer how fast we can code. It's how well we can think, spec, and orchestrate.
This means every engineer at Cache operates more like a product builder than a traditional developer. You collaborate with the team to own a product’s development from spec to production. The agents handle the translation to working code. Your job is clear thinking and impeccable execution.
We need people who've internalized this shift and are excited to push it further.
What you'll doYou'll own problems end-to-end, and work across all surfaces of the product experience. You’ll work with people across the company to define the problem, write the spec, design the experience, and build the software that goes to production. At Cache, product engineers aren't handed a Figma file and a ticket. You're given a problem and the latitude to solve it well.
Full-stack fluency. You're comfortable navigating a typescript frontend, a Java backend, writing SQL, setting up data pipelines, and deploying to production. You don't need to be an expert in every layer, but nothing should feel foreign.
Strong product sense. You think about the person using the thing you're building. You ask "why are we doing this?" before "how should I build this?" Every decision starts with a real customer problem, not an interesting technical challenge.
High agency. You figure things out. When you hit a blocker, you find a way to make things work and deliver customer value. You’re not waiting around for someone to tell you what to do.
High curiosity. You learn new domains quickly because you're genuinely interested in how things work. Finance, tax law, SEC regulations, fund operations: you don't need to know these coming in, but you need to be the kind of person who finds them fascinating once you're here. We encourage a "no dumb questions" mindset and expect you to challenge assumptions.
Strong design eye. You notice when spacing is off, when a flow has unnecessary friction, when a component doesn't feel right. You don't need a designer to tell you what looks good. You've developed that instinct yourself.
Perfectionist tendencies. You care about the craft. The copy on a button, the loading state, the edge case no one asked about. You hold high standards but stay pragmatic. You want the thing you built to be something you'd put your name on.
Agentic fluency. You've used AI coding tools (Claude Code, Codex, etc) in real production work. You understand how to spec a task for an agent, set up guardrails, review AI-generated code critically, and delegate effectively. You use AI to accelerate time-to-right.
What matters less- Years of experience at a specific seniority level
- A CS degree from a particular school
- Deep prior experience in fintech or financial services
- Mastery of a specific framework or language
We care about how you think, how you build, and how fast you learn. Everything else can be taught.
Why CacheYou'll work on hard, real problems. Concentrated stock positions sit at the intersection of tax law, securities regulation, portfolio theory, and human psychology. The software we build has to be correct (people's money is at stake), polished (our clients are discerning), and ambitious (we're competing with firms that have been doing this for decades with much larger teams).
You'll work with a small team where your work is visible, and your impact is direct. No layers of abstraction between what you build and the person who uses it. We celebrate wins, we give candid feedback, and we hold each other to a high bar.
And you'll work at the frontier of how software gets built. We're not experimenting with AI tools on the side. They're core to how we ship. The team is becoming meaningfully more capable every month, and we're looking for people who want to help define what that looks like.
To applySend us something that shows how you think and build. A fully-functioning project you’ve built recently, including a glimpse into the process you followed. We care less about your resume and more about evidence of the qualities described above.
