Founding Engineer
Sava Trust Company, New York, New York
About the job
Sava is a chartered trust company that builds its own software.
We hold the Nevada trust charter, act as the fiduciary of record, and write every line of the system that runs it. Most of this industry rents its regulated core from someone else and inherits the limits that come with it.
We're live with real clients. We've raised $10M from Gradient Ventures, Max Mullen (Instacart), SV Angel and others.
Where this is going
Trust administration has barely changed in decades: paper and a trust officer's inbox. We're building the version where software and AI agents do most of the fiduciary work and people stay accountable for every decision that matters. Today that means running trusts for families on a platform we wrote ourselves. The engineers who join now write the ledger and the agents that take it from there.
What you'd do
- Own domains end to end, from schema to screen: the onboarding pipeline, custodian and bank integrations, the AI layer.
- Build agentic workflows that do real fiduciary work: document extraction, compliance monitoring, distribution analysis, drafting. They reach client data through authorized, audited tools, never raw SQL. Every consequential action requires human approval. None of it is a chatbot.
