About the role

About Thera
Thera is building the financial OS for modern SMBs — payroll, payments, treasury, spend, accounting, all in one ecosystem. We're backed by the worlds leading investors including Y Combinator, 10X Founders, Zillionize, Amino Capital, etc.

As a Founding Engineer , you’ll help architect, build, and scale the core systems that power our infrastructure. You’ll work directly with the CEO, ship fast, own large pieces of the product, and shape the engineering culture from day one.

What You’ll Build

  • New products across our ecosystem

About You

  • 3–7+ years building and shipping production systems
  • You thrive in ambiguity, move extremely fast, and care deeply about craft
  • Comfortable owning 0→1 features end-to-end
  • Bias toward action, simple solutions, and high standards
  • Preferred experience with Typescript + Java/Kotlin

Why Thera
This is a true founding role: huge ownership, meaningful equity, direct impact on product and culture, and a chance to build one of the most important fintech platforms of the next decade.

About Thera

Thera is building HR for the future of work. Traditional providers are failing to meet the compliance, global, and benefits needs of tomorrow’s best companies, which will be global and remote from Day 1.

We make it simple and satisfying to set up your company and employees for success, including for busy founders and leaders without HR experience.

Our founding team consists of ex-Palantir and ex-Amazon engineers.
