Software Engineer 1 (Full-Stack)

Summary

Prometheum is building regulated market infrastructure that brings securities onto the blockchain through issuance, custody, clearing, and trading systems. The Software Engineer 1 will build and ship production software across the TypeScript/Node back end and React front end, while participating in code reviews, scrum ceremonies, testing, debugging, and cross-functional collaboration.

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

Skills

• 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
• 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
