Anticipate what information a borrower might want or need, and proactively provide it to them. This requires innovative problem-solving to create impactful and user-friendly financial relief efforts.
Clean, reliable payments infrastructure: It’s crucial that our payments infrastructure is highly reliable. Flex your architectural skills to help our payments systems continue to operate seamlessly, and raise alarms when issues arise.

Your impact:

Shape the Future: Perform thorough code reviews and manage technical debt to maintain a robust, scalable codebase that propels our products forward.
Innovate Daily: Champion innovation and best practices, pushing the boundaries of technical and product excellence.
Collaborate & Thrive: Partner with compliance, customer success, and platform teams to foster a culture of teamwork and shared success.
Lead Major Projects: Tackle complex projects, deliver impactful solutions, and bring your ideas to life while aligning with our company goals.

You might be a fit if you have:

2-5 years of experience as a Software Engineer.
Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.
A passion for collaboration and proven ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams.
Full-stack experience is a plus.
