About Arca

Arca is a wealth management firm built from the ground up with AI. Most people get financial advice that's reactive: an annual check-in, a plan that's a document instead of a living thing, a relationship where you're one of three hundred clients your advisor is trying to remember. We think that's backwards. The kind of service that used to require a team of specialists behind you, the kind that makes you feel like the only person in the room, should be available to far more than the ultra-wealthy.

So we're building it. We're not SaaS — we are the wealth management business, rebuilding it from the inside with AI. Our platform is an Iron Man suit for advisors: it takes over the low-leverage work so they can focus on what actually requires a human, showing up with empathy, context, and judgment. Underneath, it keeps a living understanding of each client. It remembers the thing you mentioned once, six months ago. It notices when your life changes — a new job, a new kid, a market shift — and adjusts before you think to ask. You won't see the technology. You'll just notice your advisor seems to know you better than any financial professional ever has.

That's the product we're growing: client by client, on the strength of the experience itself. We started by acquiring firms managing over $1B in client assets, which gave us real advisors, real clients, and real financial outcomes to build against from day one. But acquisition was the starting line. The bet is that an advisor backed by this platform delivers something good enough that clients come to us on their own.

It's a $20T market, and we think it's ready to be rebuilt.

The team

We’re small on purpose and engineering heavy: about 80% of the team is technical. We’re based in NYC and hail from high growth startups like Stripe, Ramp, Rippling, Plaid, Doordash, & Glean.

We’re fully in-office in Flatiron, five days a week—lunch together, coffee breaks, basketball games, happy hours.

The role

As a Member of Technical Staff focused on Product Design, you'll set the vision and the look and feel of Arca from the ground up. You'll work directly with our founder and the engineering team across both sides of the product: the platform advisors work in every day, and the experience clients use to understand and manage their wealth. This is a hands-on role: you'll design, prototype, and ship, not direct from a distance. The patterns you set become the foundation every designer after you builds on. If you design it, you own it.

What you'll design (and own)

The client experience. Where clients see their full financial picture, engage with their advisor, and act on their own terms. We've never built directly for consumers until now, so you define what the experience even is, from the first touchpoint through ongoing wealth management.

Advisor surfaces. The platform advisors use every day to serve clients, built so one advisor can deliver high-touch service to far more clients than they could before.

Agentic experiences. How people work alongside agents that draft, decide, and act, including when to bring a human in and how to build trust in what the agent did.

Generative UI. Design patterns for interfaces that agents put together on the fly, and the system that keeps them coherent and predictable.

Design principles, visual language, and system. So the product feels like one thing as it grows across every firm we bring on.

Research that keeps the work honest. You sit with advisors and clients, watch where they hesitate, and bring what you learn straight back into the product.

The design function. Hiring, rituals, and craft standards as we add product and brand designers.

Example problems you'd work on

These aren't hypothetical; we're actively working on versions of all of these.
