About Nevis
Nevis is building the world’s first AI wealth management platform. In just 9 months, Nevis has grown to have over $50 billion of assets under management on its platform and is on track to have over $100 billion by the end of this year.

Working alongside engineers from top fintech companies like Revolut, you’ll operate at the frontier of technology and finance, building scalable systems with a focus on reliability, performance, and elegant design.
You’ll thrive here if you love working on greenfield systems, moving fast, and taking ownership end-to-end – from architecture to deployment.
