Software Engineer - Product (fullstack, senior level)

About Luminary

The full job description covers all associated skills, previous experience, and any qualifications that applicants are expected to have.

Luminary powers how advisors connect their client’s financial assets with generational gifting and philanthropic giving goals.

Some $80 trillion will pass between generations in the decades ahead and high net worth asset owners say they want their advisors to lead them through this process.

Today, however, these same clients report a 70% gap between the services they expect and what they are receiving.

At the heart of this disconnect is the lack of integrated systems making delivery of trust & estate advice costly and cumbersome.

Luminary’s collaboration platform brings together wealth, legal, and tax advisors to scale complex workflows and enable holistic strategy transparency.

The time has come to bring technology-led efficiency and access to legacy planning. Luminary is a collaboration platform elevating how advisors connect client assets with legacy goals.

We bring together wealth managers, family offices, and law firms into a single platform for the very first time. Our software powers the delivery of trust & estate services, unlocking new efficiencies and product opportunities.

Luminary enables teams with innovative features like transfer plan visualizations, strategy designs, scenario / outcome modeling, task management and tax alpha reporting.

Luminary’s founding team has deep experience in this space, and in building successful software businesses. Our backgrounds include AllianceBernstein, Blend, Origin, ChanZuckerberg, Peloton, Compass, Databricks, and Goldman Sachs.

We are backed by leading venture capital investors, prominent wealth management firms, and several family offices. And we’re supported by a group of esteemed advisors who are active in the trust & estate industry.
