Software Engineer 1 (Full-Stack)

Prometheum • New York, NY

3d • $90,000 - $120,000 • Remote

About The Position

Prometheum is building the market infrastructure that brings securities onto the blockchain. Our SEC-registered broker-dealer network carries a digital asset through its entire life, from issuance and distribution to qualified custody, correspondent clearing, and secondary market trading, all within U.S. securities law. This role is an early-career opportunity for an engineer who wants to grow quickly on a production system where quality matters and the regulatory stakes are real. As a Software Engineer 1, your job is to build and ship. You will work across our TypeScript/Node back end and React front end, starting with small, clearly defined pieces of work and taking on more as your understanding of the system grows. You will have a dedicated onboarding buddy, a team lead who meets with you weekly, and teammates who pair with you rather than leaving you to figure it out alone. The engineering team is fully remote.

Requirements

• Up to 2 years of professional software engineering experience
• Working knowledge of JavaScript or TypeScript, and comfort with at least one of Node.js (back end) or React (front end)
• Hands-on experience with AI coding assistants, plus the judgment to know when their output is wrong
• Familiarity with relational databases and writing SQL
• Comfort with git-based workflows: branch, PR, review, CI
• Clear written communication, with a strong command of the English language
• The instinct to ask for help at the right time
• Authorized to work in the U.S. or Canada
• Able to pass a comprehensive background check, which is required for this role

Nice To Haves

• Exposure to microservices, Docker, or cloud platforms (AWS)
• Automated testing experience
• Any background in finance, brokerage, trading, or blockchain. Genuine curiosity counts more than credentials here.
• Experience with Jira, Confluence, or similar

Responsibilities

• Ship work across the stack, from bug fixes and small features to test coverage and tech debt, with support from senior engineers
• Use AI coding tools as a default part of your workflow, and review what they produce with the same rigor you would apply to your own code
• Trace real requests end-to-end (front end, API, services, database) and build a working mental model of how custody, clearing, and trading fit together
• Participate in code review, first as a learner asking questions, then as a reviewer who catches edge cases and test gaps
• Take part in all scrum ceremonies: refinement, sprint kick-off, standup, demos, and retro
• Work directly with Product, QA, and UX to clarify requirements, reproduce bugs, and ask design questions
• Investigate and resolve QA/UAT issues, pairing when you need to

Benefits

• Health, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance
• Stock options
• Competitive vacation time, paid sick days, and time off for observed federal holidays
• Equipment provided
