About AngelList

Private markets are the new public markets. The most important companies of this era are private, and almost no one can own them. What's missing is the financial system public markets spent a century building: exchanges, custodians, brokers, and ways for ordinary people to buy in. Private markets, now $28T, never had the equivalent. AngelList is building it.

The last decade of structural innovation in venture happened here: syndicates, SPVs at scale, Rolling Funds, scout programs. Today we have $200B+ in assets and 30,000+ startups funded on our platform. The rest of private markets is next. Funds is the software and services behind private funds, Nova is the banking network, Meridian is the wealth platform for accredited investors, and USVC is the brand behind a registered fund that lets anyone invest in venture.

Working here means an unusual amount of agency on a problem that matters. Titles are closer to suggestions, and there are about 200 of us building what private markets never had. Come build it with us.

About the Role:

$200B+ in assets and $90B in money movement run on infrastructure that about 50 engineers and a growing number of agents build on top of. We're hiring a Head of Engineering, Foundations to lead the team that owns it. This role reports directly to the CEO and has company-level scope.

Part of what this team owns is new. Agents are becoming first-class users of our own systems, and nobody has a settled answer for what a platform owes a non-human user: sandboxing, audit trails, rollback, all against systems that move real money. You'd be deciding how that works here.

As a Head of Engineering here, you'd be expected to personally ship, not just direct.
