Associate, Software Engineer
Vestwell•Austin, TX
•$95,000 - $110,000•Hybrid
About The Position
The Engineering team is seeking a curious, growth-oriented engineer who wants to learn how production software is built on a real product team. You’re a great fit if you enjoy building user-facing web applications, you take feedback well and ask good questions, and you want to get better at writing clean, tested TypeScript. You don’t need to own a product vertical yet — you will work on well-scoped tickets with support from senior engineers, contribute to code reviews, and gradually take on more independent work.
Requirements
- Comfortable writing TypeScript and React (classwork, bootcamp, internships, personal projects, or 0–2 years of professional experience)
- Familiarity with HTML and CSS, and a willingness to follow an existing component library and design system
- Some experience writing tests (Jest, React Testing Library, or similar) — or a clear desire to learn testing as part of the job
- Comfortable using Git for everyday work (clone, branch, commit, pull request)
- Ability to communicate clearly, ask for help, and follow through on feedback
Nice To Haves
- Exposure to NestJS, Express, or another Node.js API framework
- Experience with Material UI, React Query, or a similar component/data-fetching stack
- Familiarity with Agile practice
- Internship, co-op, or open-source experience on a team codebase
- Interest in financial services or retirement products
- CS degree or equivalent practical experience
Responsibilities
- Build and update React/TypeScript UI in our web-based portal for a first class 401(k) platform
- Write and maintain unit tests for components, hooks, and helpers (Jest, React Testing Library; MSW for API mocks in the admin UI)
- Work from Jira tickets with your squad: clarify requirements, open PRs, respond to review comments, and ship incrementally
- Collaborate with Product, Design, and other engineers to turn specs and mockups into working UI
- Learn our stack, coding standards, and Git/GitHub workflow with mentorship from the team
Benefits
- Comprehensive health benefits
- Generous time off
- Dedicated Employee Wellbeing Committee
- Competitive 401(k) plan
- Company Bonus Pool
- New hire equity
