The impact

As a member of the engineering team, you will own projects from end-to-end, making decisions on technical and business implications. You will have autonomy over your projects with support from the team when you need it. This is a full-stack, backend leaning role.

What you’ll do

• Build and create with JavaScript across the platform. Build delightful user experiences in React and power them with a reliable backend in Node.

• Investigate and debug any issues using our monitoring & logging tools as well as create clear action items to resolve them.

• Help maintain our high technical bar by participating in code reviews and interviewing new team members.

• Collaborate with the rest of the team to define the roadmap by thoroughly understanding customers’ needs.

Who you are

• 3+ years of full-time software engineering experience, ideally full-stack

• Experience building scalable production-level applications. (A history of excellent projects is required)

• Experience working with some combination of Node / JS, React (or similar framework) and MongoDB / NoSQL

• You can clearly communicate the concepts or ideas behind your solutions, and cut big solutions into smaller bite-sized tasks

• You can tow the line between moving fast and breaking things and moving slowly to get things right the first time. Technical debt is okay, we’ll refactor it later!

• Natural curiosity to stay up to date with new technologies and emerging Fintech trends

Extra awesome

• Experience in Finance / FinTech

• Experience building data pipelines

• Knowledge of payment rails such as ACH, RTP, etc.

• DevOps experience with AWS, Cloudflare, and CI/CD tools

The annual US base salary range for this role is: $150,000-$195,000.
