We're looking for a senior software engineer to join our tiny (but powerful ) remote team on our mission to build the best stock analysis platform for everyday investors.
You will implement product features using Ruby on Rails in the backend and React on the frontend.
About Us WallStreetZen is a web app that makes it easier for everyday investors to research and understand stocks.
Most stock research platforms are not designed for the everyday investor.
These tools were built by finance professionals for finance professionals. Finance pros are used to scanning dense tables filled with ratios and comparing the numbers in their head or in complex Excel models.
But why should non-pros analyze stocks with the same tools? We focus on making financial data easy to understand, by simplifying it and putting it into easy-to-understand context.
You can try it for yourself at WallStreetZen.com Why join us? Work with a small, high-impact team that moves quickly. No bureaucracy.
