About Us

Smartleaf was founded to make money management affordable for everyone.
We all want our money to be managed well and consistent with our values
but the quality of advice varies widely, and attention from a financial
advisor is directly proportional to the amount of money we already have.
Our software enables financial advisors to serve all investors with the
same level of sophisticated analytics, tax management and customization
that were previously available only to multi-millionaires. 

We look for people who are clever, competent and kind.


About the Role

Your daily work will include managing the databases, looking for
performance improvements, monitoring performance and backups, and
helping developers writing queries. You will be an active participant in
discussions around system architecture and planning for scale. Customer
support will occasionally ask you to provide information and reports.
You will share level two after-hours support for the DBs, which will
typically have an incident less than once a month.

Opportunities for growth include Linux systems and network
administration, software development, and financial engineering.


This Would Be a Good Fit For You If

You are focused on results and want to help the whole team deliver
value to our users. You’re curious about our clients and want to
understand what they do and how we help. You want the things you build
to be useful in the real world and you have a toolbox of skills and
behaviors that allows you to adapt to the requirements of different
projects.

You are knowledgeable about databases in general as well as PG in
specific, and you can help us make decisions that take multiple
considerations into account.

You want to learn, you want the whole team to improve, you are willing
to experiment (not in production!) and you elevate everyone around you
through your professionalism, helpfulness and willingness to share
knowledge.
