Commandiv | CTO & CoFounder | NYC Hey friends, John here - I am the CEO of Commandiv (My LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnzettler https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnzettler). I am a financial engineer who left the hedge fund world to make investing easier for self-directed investors. I am actively looking for a software engineering partner. Ping me at john (at) commandiv (dot) com if you're interested in learning more. Hiring process: meet in person or video chat; I will demo for you the Alpha product (and build you a personalized portfolio down to the tickers & # of shares to buy); we can go from there... About Commandiv: Commandiv is an over-the-top investment advisor for self-directed investors. Users get value from: 1) Robo-Assist trade recommendations (all advisory/backtesting algos fully developed); 2) full control over their investments; 3) and account consolidation of all their liquid investments. We are not a broker-dealer and don’t want to be. We plug into broker-dealer APIs and earn money from BD-paid referral fees, and user-paid advisory fees (25bps of AUM). Initially, we are targeting educated, employed 26-45-year-olds who have $5-100k in cash external to their employer-sponsored retirement plans. This target customer knows little about investing; she is self-directed and has done preliminary research; and she craves a one-stop shop to learn, build trust, and get invested. In order to acquire customers at greater scale, we will use a Learning Platform (think: Duolingo / TurboTax) to drive account creation (curriculum fully developed).

Hey John, some advice you probably know but I'll say it anyway: You're gonna have to increase those salary ranges. Almost everyone in my NYC college graduating class who got into programming got a job that paid at least $65-70k, with no experience. Those with more experience got up to $90-100k. And of course, you want someone experienced to build your product. Just saying in case you're having trouble finding people local in NYC. Aside from that, the project looks super interesting. Best of luck!
