CAREERS
Build infrastructure that lasts longer than the company that builds it.
Small team. High autonomy. Bound by a public Charter that means what it says. Below-market base pay during Pre-Seed; equity in a PBC under a Mission Trust.
OPEN ROLES
Apply by emailing the founder directly.
No applicant tracking system until the company has funded and chosen one deliberately. Email careers at zion-pbc dot com with a one-paragraph reason, a résumé or LinkedIn, and one example of work you’re proud of.

EL
Staff Engineer · Engineering Lead
Sets technical direction and owns the pilot release. Runs the Postgres and Supabase change process (migration review, row-level security, automated pre-deploy security tests), sets the bar for code review, and leads the on-call rotation while our first pilot in the DMV region is live. Reviews and merges work from both engineers and our AI development agents. 8+ years shipping production systems, including multi-tenant access control and at least one launch into a live service environment.
-
FE
Founding Engineer · full-stack
Ships the flows pilot members and partner staff use every day: consent grant and revoke, staff-assisted onboarding at a partner desk, phone sign-in with one-time codes, and the partner caseload workspace. Web-first on React Native and Expo for the pilot, then iOS through TestFlight. Comfortable across TypeScript, Postgres, and the product decisions in between. Hire #1 after the Pre-Seed close.
-
DA
Data Architect
Owns the canonical LP Account data model across health, benefits, and identity; the consent-grant and member-visible audit-log architecture; and the integration architecture for benefits systems, partner case-management tools, and health-data exchange (FHIR, HL7, TEFCA). For the pilot, owns partner data-sync design and the privacy-safe pilot metrics that report outcomes without exposing any household. 4+ years in data architecture or senior data engineering; writes clearly for non-technical readers.
-
SF
Senior Engineer · frontend & accessibility
Owns the member and partner surfaces for a pilot that serves older adults and families with limited time and bandwidth. Large-text and high-contrast modes, screen-reader and keyboard support, plain-language copy, and layouts that hold up on older phones and shared computers. WCAG 2.2 AA fluency required; experience testing with real users with disabilities is a strong plus.
-
SE
Solutions Engineer · partner integrations
Gets pilot partners live. Onboards community organizations and their staff, maps their intake and case-management workflows onto consented data exchange, and builds the exports and connectors they need, from CSV reporting to CRM integrations (Salesforce, Dynamics 365) and data platforms. Works directly with partners’ program and IT staff from scoping through go-live, and turns what the pilot teaches into repeatable onboarding for the next market.
-
PD
Product Designer
Owns design system continuity between mobile, web, and partner workspace. Reports to the founder; pairs daily with engineering.
-
FL
Field Lead, Community (×2)
Embedded with partner orgs in pilot markets. Member co-design, partner-org onboarding. One seat requires EN/ES bilingual fluency.
-
SC
Security Engineer · part-time
Part-time at Pre-Seed, full-time at Seed. Owns the consent-grant threat model and independent review of every access-control change before it ships: privilege escalation, staff offboarding, staff-assisted consent, and one-time-code abuse. Runs pilot incident response and the records-encryption posture.
What we offer
- Equity in a PBC under Mission Trust. Common stock with the same protections the Trust gives the corporation itself. Vesting is standard 4-year, 1-year cliff.
- Below-market base pay during Pre-Seed. Founders, including the CEO, take below-market base; everyone is on the same scale relative to their seniority.
- Above-market base pay at Seed. Market-rate compensation kicks in at Seed close; the early-stage base discount is documented and resolved in writing.
- Remote-friendly. Most engineering and design roles are remote-friendly anywhere in the U.S. (with quarterly all-team gatherings). Field Lead roles are based in pilot markets.
- Health benefits. Medical, dental, vision from Day 1. Mental-health benefits without deductibles.
- Time off. Flexible PTO with a hard minimum (you must take it). All federal holidays, plus Juneteenth and Veterans Day.
