Titan is expanding its engineering, advisory, and go-to-market teams at its New York headquarters. The wealth management startup, which operates active investment strategies via a dedicated mobile platform, is currently hiring across 11 positions spanning software development, wealth advisory, marketing, and client operations.
Founded in 2017 and backed by Y Combinator’s S18 cohort, Titan manages retail investment portfolios across equities and digital assets. Operating through SEC-registered entity Titan Global Capital Management USA LLC, the firm maintains an employee base of approximately 40 people and has raised $5.7 million from investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Scribble, South Park Commons, and Newfund.
Platform expansion and active management model
Titan functions as an active wealth manager geared toward younger professionals, positioning its mobile operating system as an alternative to legacy mutual funds and traditional private wealth advisory services. The company offers multiple core investment strategies, including three equity strategies and one dedicated cryptocurrency strategy.
The firm expanded its product line through the introduction of a revamped membership plan and a lifestyle concierge service known as Titan Access, according to PR Newswire. The membership combines custom portfolio allocations with concierge support over SMS and member access to dining and events. Co-founder Clayton Gardner noted that the platform was established to combine the depth of an institutional advisory firm with digital-native accessibility.
The company also introduced third-party venture access for retail investors. As reported by Observer, Titan partnered with ARK Invest to launch the Ark Venture Fund on its platform, enabling everyday investors to allocate capital to private tech ventures with minimum commitments starting at $500. Co-founder Joe Percoco stated that the integration addressed unmet retail demand for asset classes historically reserved for accredited institutions and family offices.
Leadership structure
Titan's executive team combines engineering backgrounds with finance operations:
- AJ Goldstein, Founder and CEO, holds a BSE in Data Science Engineering from the University of Michigan.
- Max Bernardy, Founder and CTO, oversees core technical infrastructure and platform operations.
- Clayton Gardner and Joe Percoco, co-founders based in New York.
- Clay Gardner, co-founder.
Engineering architecture and hiring focus
Titan’s technical architecture relies entirely on JavaScript across the stack. The backend connects MongoDB databases through to client-facing applications built on React Native.
To support system scale and mobile feature rollouts, the company is recruiting experienced infrastructure and client-side engineers. Technical openings include a Principal Backend / Infrastructure Engineer – TypeScript and a Senior Full Stack Engineer – Web & Mobile, each offering compensation up to $275,000 per year. Both roles emphasize TypeScript proficiency and distributed system design.
In parallel, Titan is building out an in-house advisory desk. Open roles span three seniority levels: a Wealth Advisor, SVP, a VP-level advisor, and an associate advisor. The wealth management staff is responsible for guiding client portfolios, providing specialized advisory support, and working alongside the firm's concierge operations.
On the commercial side, the company is looking for a Founding Growth Lead, Paid Marketing to steer acquisition channels, alongside enterprise and product design additions. All current listings require full-time, onsite attendance in New York.
