About Cookie

Cookie Finance is a rapidly growing, VC-backed financial platform built for content creators. We started as a tech-enabled accounting service and quickly became the financial backbone for thousands of creators, influencers, and creator-led businesses.

Now we’re building our next chapter: a multi-product ecosystem of SaaS tools powered by unified financial data. Our platform sits at the intersection of creator income, business operations, and real-world financial behavior, giving us a uniquely rich dataset to build forecasting, personalization, and AI-driven financial insights that creators can actually use. We’re turning messy real-world creator finance data into products that scale.

Our software engineering team builds our “Cookie Jar” web application which is an all-in-one financial platform for our customers and a workflow engine for our employees.  The application uses a mix of in-house technology and external integrations with financial platforms including commercial banking, general ledger, payroll, and financial analytics.

We are hiring a Senior Node/React Engineer to help architect, build, and scale the next generation of the Cookie ecosystem.  This role is for someone who thrives in high-growth environments. You will ship production code that directly impacts thousands of creators, influence technical decisions, and help shape the long-term architecture of a data-rich fintech platform.

You will report to the CTO and collaborate closely with Product and Operations to deliver scalable, reliable software.
