Column (https://column.com/) | Software Eng (Infrastructure), Software Eng (Backend), Software Eng (Product) | San Francisco, CA (ONSITE) | Full Time

Column is the first nationally chartered bank built from the ground up for developers. We provide an API first, modern banking experience for our customers, replacing the bloated middleware and legacy software that currently powers most financial companies.

Started by the co-founder of Plaid, Column has a team of <10 experienced engineers and is currently processing hundreds of billions in payments annually, supporting some of the largest and most sophisticated fintech companies. We are looking for ambitious infrastructure, product, and backend engineers that want to build the best-in-class banking tech from first principles. We all work on high impact, independently driven projects - writing code for regulated financial infrastructure at scale.

CEO of Column here! Have hired a couple amazing people off of HN recently, feel free ping me 1:1 at william [at] column dot com or ping in the comments.

Column looks very good. The API first approach is something that has been absent from banks and financial institutes for a long time now. I have worked with a lot of established banks trying to integrate their payment systems with newer tech. I would love to work on stuff that Column is doing. Have sent an email to you Wiiliam.

As some one who has interacted with banks and worked at o e, I think it’s really cool what you’re doing. Banks (and other companies in the financial sector) are stuck in the 90s in a lot of ways. Too bad it’s not remote, I would love to contribute to this.

Appreciate it - its a fun, but hard problem! Yeah we're pretty hardcore on in-person in SF, which I isn't optimal for most people. As we get larger we may get more flex :)

Hi William,

I have been working on something similar as a side project and would love to connect with you and chat more about this. I have already sent you an email. Thanks!


Can canadian candidates apply ?

You can apply to my company, Carebrain! Looking for a full stack founding engineer. Will support Canadians including TN status. See full job description and apply here https://wellfound.com/l/2AGnAW

This looks awesome, I have had numerous issues with large banks messing up account settings/payment so looking forward to this growing. I don't want to clutter up the comments with questions I have about a role here so you should have an email.

Thanks for the kind words! Will get back to you in a bit.

Hi Do you support visa transfer or visa requests?

I have been working on something similar as a side project and would love to connect with you and chat more about this. I have already sent an email and would like to have early access to the FedNow API for my project. Thanks!

Column sounds cool.

Do you have a public dev environment where people can test it out and work on building apps on top of it?

I’d love to experiment with using column to replace my banking and payments for my consulting business.


There appears to be a bug on the Column.com contact form after signing up. Number of employees is pre-populated with a range (e.g. 2-5) based on initial question, but trying to submit the contact form gives a NaN error with "Please match the requested format" but is not editable.

So I can't contact you to create an real account.


Thanks for flagging - will take a look!

Please add REMOTE or ONSITE to the top line of your post, as requested in the main post of the thread.

Done!
