About Albert
We are a consumer fintech company with 20M+ users who trust us to budget, save, invest, and bank in one place. We have been profitable for 4+ years. Our average employee tenure is 3.6 years—a number rarely seen in startup tech—because the work is meaningful, the team is sharp, and we have built something worth staying for.
We are currently building net-new consumer products from zero and are looking for people who love to tinker and ship.
The Ideal Candidate
- Top-tier craft: You are in the top fraction of a percentile in your field; the kind of good that is hard to fake.
- Builder mindset: You build for fun, not just for work. You are the type who ships a working prototype over the weekend because you can't help yourself.
- Ownership: You are comfortable owning 0-to-1 consumer products end-to-end.
- Culture fit: You are allergic to politics, theater, and bureaucracy.
What You Get
- Remote Work: Anywhere with reasonable timezone overlap (we will make async work for truly exceptional candidates).
- Real Scale: Impact 20M+ users with real money and real consequences from day one.
- Compensation: Market-beating compensation including base salary, discretionary year-end bonus, meaningful 401(k) match, and meaningful equity in a profitable, growing unicorn.
- Benefits: Platinum PPO health benefits with Blue Shield (top-of-the-line coverage for your entire family).
- Mission: Help make money simple so people spend less time managing it and keep more of it.
- Environment: Small, senior-heavy teams with direct ownership and no layers.
- Transparency: We are forthcoming with business metrics so you always know how the company is performing.
- Perks: Startup perks done right, including catered lunches, wellness stipends, team offsites, and a casual dress code.
- Stability: We have been profitable for 4+ years, allowing you to build with conviction rather than runway anxiety.
