We are looking for a Senior Fullstack Engineer to join our CMC Wealth engineering team. The ideal candidate will be someone who wants to take on a leading role in driving technical direction, mentoring engineers, and ensuring we build robust, scalable, and high-quality solutions. We need a Senior Fullstack Engineer who is comfortable working across all aspects of our technology stack to help us deliver an exceptional customer experience.

We need someone who is passionate about solving technical challenges, building best-in-class systems, and continually improving. If you are excited by the prospect of working in a collaborative environment where innovation is encouraged and creativity is rewarded, then this is the opportunity for you.

Why join our engineering team?
We have big ambitions and a comprehensive backlog of ideas to make our vision of building the world's most trusted wealth management platform a reality. We also have the desire to make the engineering team a great place to work, where people are encouraged to use their skills and experience to work together to create something incredible.

Our teams deploy to production multiple times a day, have full ownership of the technology they build and run and can make an impact on their very first day in the office. All team members have access to users to understand what they need and how they use the products we and our competitors have built.

Our culture values collaboration, experimentation, and creativity. We want our engineers to grow and be the best versions of themselves, and we offer a collaborative working environment, opportunities for growth, and the freedom to experiment and learn.
