Senior Full-Stack Engineer
About the role
Senior Full-Stack Engineer role at Elayne focusing on turning manual, fragmented estate settlement processes into software across the full stack, from data model to frontend, with ownership of production-grade delivery.
Responsibilities
- Turn estate settlement into software: replace PDFs, faxes, phone calls, spreadsheets, and government portals with the product.
- The estate record: build and evolve the data model that connects people, assets, documents, authority, and actions as a single source of truth.
- One estate, two products: serve family and attorney experiences on the same underlying record with different permissions/workflows/interfaces.
- Software that produces real-world outcomes: generate court filings, establish legal authority, find financial accounts, move assets, and track estate completion.
- Long-running, stateful workflows: design systems coherent over months with documents, payments, approvals, changing data, multiple users, and institutional dependencies.
- The tools that become the product: turn manual workflows into internal tools and automate them for every family.
Qualifications
- You’ve built from zero to one. Early at a startup, turned ambitious product direction into production software.
- You're full stack with real backend depth. Able to move from React to backend to data model and translate specs into production software.
- Your craft bar is extremely high: attention to detail, high standard for data integrity underneath the UI.
- Experience with long-running workflows, sensitive data, payments, permissions, multiple users, and state that remains correct over time.

About Elayne
AI copilot for growing, organizing, and transferring family estates
Elayne helps families organize their assets, estate documents, and key contacts in one place, then guides them through life transitions as circumstances and priorities evolve. Like getting married, moving, having a baby, or losing a parent. Unlike traditional wealth management tools or online estate platforms that produce static legal documents, Elayne is dynamic, intelligent, and built not just to delight, but to comfort and guide you when it matters most. I started Elayne after my mom passed away and I had to settle her estate, accounts, and affairs - essentially, I suddenly had to untangle all the details of her life. It was shocking how fragmented and opaque the process was and how I spent hundreds of hours chasing documents, coordinating accounts, filling legal gaps, and navigating unfamiliar systems, all while grieving and working full time. It shouldn’t be that way. In the future, you could hire an attorney, download DIY legal forms, fax and mail physical documents, sync 10 different fintech apps, use a financial planner, spend thousands in fees, and hope it all holds together. Or, you could just use Elayne.
