Job description

As a Software Engineer II within Servicing Technology, you’ll own full-stack features that power the client-facing and team member-facing servicing applications for millions of Rocket homeowners. Servicing Technology is accelerating through a full-scale System of Record modernization, and engineering velocity is a strategic asset.

This role is for an engineer who wants to own meaningful product outcomes — building across the front end and back end, deploying to production, and iterating based on real usage. You will use AI as a core part of how you design, code, test, debug, and ship software, and you’ll begin mentoring earlier-career engineers as you grow.

About The Role

• Own the full lifecycle of full-stack features, from technical design and implementation through deployment, monitoring, and optimization.
• Build across the front end (Next.js or React with a NestJS GraphQL integration layer) and back end (.NET / C#, NestJS GraphQL).
• Collaborate closely with product managers, designers, analysts, and other engineers to shape the servicing experience end to end.
• Contribute to decisions around architecture, tooling, and best practices.
• Deploy and operate applications on AWS and Amazon EKS through CI/CD pipelines.
• Use AI tools and agentic development workflows to increase engineering speed and improve quality.
• Participate in code reviews, provide mentorship to junior engineers, and foster a culture of learning and collaboration.
