Full-Stack Engineer (Mid/Senior)

About Us

Estate planning is the last frontier in advisor technology. While other segments of wealth management have made significant technological strides in the last decade, estate planning has been left behind. It’s slow, it’s expensive, it’s confusing—and with more than $84.4 trillion in wealth set to be transferred over the next quarter century, it’s begging for an upgrade.

So that’s what we’re doing at Vanilla. We’re not just rebuilding estate planning—we’re redefining it. We’re taking on a complex, highly regulated space that’s full of big problems to solve. We’re moving fast, building something completely new, and there’s as much work as there is opportunity. We’re looking for people who share our belief that everyone deserves to create a meaningful legacy, as well as our excitement to be the ones to help make it happen.
