Software Engineer - Full Stack

Soma Capital is a ten-year-old seed fund focused on partnering with the next generation of superhuman builders. They are seeking a Full Stack Software Engineer to design and build internal products, prototype quickly, and own projects from start to finish.

What you'll do:

• Design, build, and ship internal products that sharpen our information edge: data pipelines, search/ranking engines, deal-sourcing dashboards, and AI research agents
• Prototype in days, not months, working elbow-to-elbow with Aneel, the investment team, portfolio founders, and LPs
• Refactor legacy code, pay down tech debt, and streamline a lean modern stack
• Choose pragmatism over dogma: if a low/no-code tool solves it faster, use it
• Own projects end-to-end (scoping, architecture, deployment, observability) and occasionally embed with founders to crack hard tech problems

What they're looking for:

• 0-3 years professional engineering experience or exceptional new-grad portfolio
• B.S. in CS or another STEM discipline from a top institution (or equivalent proof of excellence)
• Deep skill in TypeScript/React or Python (FastAPI); eagerness to learn the other
• Comfort across the stack: React frontend, Python APIs, SQL/ETL data plumbing, and Pulumi infrastructure
• Fluency in SQL and data modeling; comfort deploying to any major cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure, etc.)
• Must have authorization to work in the United States (we cannot sponsor visas)
• ML/LLM infrastructure, Typesense search, ETL/data-engineering pipelines
• Pulumi-based IaC, GitHub Actions CI/CD
• Prior startup, hackathon, or incubation experience
• Thrives in high-autonomy, high-ambiguity contexts

Benefits:

• 8,000 sqft SoHo HQ 4-5 days/week in office.
• Immediate ownership: ship production features in month one; path to tech-lead projects by month six and optional jump into investing or a portfolio company role later.
• Founder osmotic learning: discussing blitz-scaling over dumplings with Deel's founder; expect that level of access weekly.
• Internal hack-days double as incubators; spin up a side-project that sticks and we may seed it.
• Fun off-sites in places like Miami, Mexico City, and occasional Bay Area trips.
• No bureaucracy: ask for the tool, book, or service you need; if it moves the mission, it shows up tomorrow.
• Standard benefits: health, dental, vision, 401(k), unlimited PTO.
