Senior Developer Experience Engineer

The posting, as Savvy wrote it

ABOUT SAVVY WEALTH

Wealth management is a $545 billion industry that still runs on manual work. 75% of advisors offer no digital communication beyond email, and most still build financial plans by hand in Excel. Savvy is reinventing what it looks like to be a financial advisor. Founder Ritik Malhotra saw the fragmentation firsthand after seeking out his own advisor, and started Savvy to give independent advisors a modern, AI-native home.

Savvy is a registered investment advisor (RIA), and we partner with experienced financial advisors who want to grow without running the back office themselves. Advisors bring their book and join Savvy, running under their own brand (or ours), and Savvy earns a percentage of the assets they manage. In return, they get a true business-in-a-box: a proprietary tech platform and client portal, an in-house marketing team that helps them grow, a world-class investment management team, and a dedicated client services team that runs day-to-day operations and support. Advisors at Savvy service up to 50% more households and save 19 hours a week.

AI runs through everything we do. On the product side, Savvy Intelligence (released April 2026) is the only AI built for wealth managers that can see a client's complete financial picture. Internally, everyone at Savvy uses Claude and is encouraged to experiment with it, backed by a dedicated AI enablement team and a RevOps org building agents in-house.

The trajectory is steep and it's still early. We're a Series C company with 170+ people, $200M raised, and $100M ARR in sight this year. Inc. ranked us the No. 1 fastest-growing financial services company in America in 2026. Come build the next stage with us!

THE ROLE

Savvy is hiring our first dedicated developer experience engineer. Coding agents are already part of how our engineers work, but adoption has moved faster than our ability to make their output consistently good. Wrong code and weak architectural decisions still create review burden. We are hiring someone to treat that as an engineering problem, not solve it with a longer prompt.

You will own how developers across EPD interact with coding agents and with the systems around them. That includes the codebase itself, our internal skills and instructions, cloud coding workflows, agentic code review, CI, local development, testing, debugging, and delivery. You will have substantial autonomy to make cross-cutting decisions, change defaults, and set standards across the organization.

This is a hands-on platform engineering role. Most of your time will be spent building software and improving the environment in which developers and agents work. You will also talk directly with engineers, study where
[…]
o a durable implementation yourself.

• Evaluation over intuition: You know that agent behavior is nondeterministic and changing quickly. You compare prompts, context, tools, models, and workflows against representative tasks rather than declaring success from a demo.
• Cross-team influence: You can set standards and change defaults across teams without becoming a gatekeeper. You explain the evidence, earn trust, and remain accountable for the experience you create.
• Pragmatic range: You are comfortable moving between platform code, repository conventions, evaluation data, developer interviews, documentation, and hands-on enablement. This is not a prompt-writing, DevRel, or framework-only role.

NICE TO HAVE

• Experience building cloud or remote development environments, coding-agent control planes, or secure execution sandboxes.
• Experience building or operating an agentic code review system.
• Experience designing agent tools, skills, context systems, memory, orchestration, or model-routing infrastructure.
• Experience using DORA, SPACE, or similar frameworks without reducing developer productivity to a single metric.
• Experience in financial services or another security- and compliance-sensitive environment.

• Competitive salary and equity package
• We offer a generous relocation package to help top talent make the move to our NYC office
• Unlimited PTO + paid company holidays
• Access to holistic medical, dental, and vision plans
• Company 401(k) (including Mega backdoor Roth options), Commuter, and HSA/FSA plans
