Luminary | Founding Software Engineer | New York, NY | onsite/hybrid | full time

What we're building: More than $100 billion in family and philanthropic giving capacity is created each year. But flaws in the current process impose over a billion in annual costs in order to access it. We are building the first product for wealth managers to automate the complex, and inefficient estate planning process.

We're hiring an early team of talented engineers who are interested in building a greenfield product and having meaningful ownership over the product development process. If this sounds like you, please reach out!

(Our tech stack is Go, Postgres, GraphQL, and React/TypeScript.)

It's not just an American thing, it's the concept of a "demonym" -- and there are official and unofficial demonyms. For example, the official demonym of Massachusetts is "Bay Stater," but everyone uses the far more popular "masshole."
This feels pretty similar to Moxe Health, the Rock Health portfolio company.
