“Five years ago I was attracted to Wealthfront by its mission and its great engineering culture. Now after the incredible growth of the team, I am even more proud of what we have accomplished and what’s in front of us. It’s awesome to be able to collaborate and solve engineering challenges with a fun group of talented colleagues.”

Our mission is to build software that automates the financial lives of our clients while earning their trust.
We do this by building and sustaining an outstanding technical organization.
Culture
Automation. We don't have a release cycle, we have a deploy button. Autonomy. We are organized into a small number of agile teams who we trust to make appropriate choices. Ownership. Our motto is Builders are Operators. This results in higher quality software.

Mobile is the primary medium for where clients access our services. This is why we always design our products for mobile first. This includes both mobile web (see next page for more on our Web team) and mobile native. Our iOS and Android teams are focused on delivering the most delightful user experience possible while staying true to the platforms. This means using direct manipulation of financial data to deliver answers with the slide of a finger. You can see it in action below.
Most call it retirement. We call it re(wire)ment.How We Work
Our teams use the latest languages: Swift and Kotlin, as well as modern tools and frameworks to be able to ship fast without writing tons of boilerplate code. As an example: we generate all the code necessary to hit our APIs. Finally, we are big on testing and automation: we don’t have a release candidate branch nor a QA team. Instead, master gets tested and shipped automatically to the stores every week.
