Wealthbit is hiring a Full Stack Product Engineer at Wealthbit

About the Role

Take full ownership of product features, guiding them from initial ideas—sparked by user insights and strategic goals—through development, deployment, and continuous improvement. You’ll shape tools that directly support financial advisors and help individuals make better financial decisions, ensuring each feature is intuitive, reliable, and built to last.

What You'll Do

  • Lead features from concept to completion, using user feedback and data to guide decisions and prioritize refinements
  • Collaborate with design to shape user experiences, while independently making thoughtful UX calls
  • Rotate through monthly customer support roles, engaging directly with users to troubleshoot and gather insights
  • Document progress, pitch new ideas, and maintain clear records of decisions and iterations
  • Build and refine core financial projection models, improving accuracy and performance using Python
  • Ensure seamless integration between advisor-facing and consumer-facing applications through robust API design
  • Write clean, testable, and scalable code that supports long-term growth and stability

Requirements

  • 3-5+ years of experience building and maintaining full-stack web applications
  • Strong skills in Ruby on Rails and React, with hands-on experience delivering complex systems
  • Familiarity with Python, or a willingness to deepen your work in data-driven modeling
  • Ability to write robust, maintainable code that balances immediate needs with future scalability
  • Commitment to creating intuitive experiences from complex financial workflows
  • Clear communicator, especially in writing, able to explain technical concepts across disciplines
  • Comfort engaging directly with users to diagnose issues and improve solutions
  • Self-driven mindset—able to set goals, manage time, and initiate improvements independently

Benefits

  • Fully remote work environment with flexibility to manage your schedule
  • Occasional in-person gatherings for team members based in Johannesburg or Cape Town
  • Support for ongoing learning and personal growth, with emphasis on overcoming self-doubt
  • Access to a group provident fund, including risk coverage for death, income protection, and funeral expenses
  • Work culture that values high performance alongside rest, balance, and long-term well-being

Company Culture

We value authenticity—showing up as yourself and making space for others to do the same. Our work centers real people solving real financial challenges, guided by curiosity and a drive to improve. We choose simple solutions over complex ones, and empower individuals to own their work, make decisions, and lead change. Autonomy is core: you decide how to solve problems, what to build, and when to push for better.
