Job description

Are you a Fullstack Engineer looking to make a big impact at a mission-driven company? Do you thrive in high-autonomy startup environments?

Propel is on a mission to build modern, respectful, and effective technology that helps low-income Americans improve their financial health. All of our users deserve first-class experiences in their daily interactions with the social safety net and financial services, and too often, tech leaves this population behind. We're a passionate team of 100 Propellers – all working towards a vision where all Americans can make it through every month with dignity and abundance. We’re looking for a motivated Fullstack Engineer to join our engineering team at Propel to help make this a reality.

This role will make an impact and possibly work across several products and stacks, including interacting with government programs, surfacing savings opportunities, healthcare, internal tooling, architecture, and more! We are looking for a passionate, user-centric fullstack engineer that is excited about working on meaningful and complex technical problems that have a positive impact on our users’ lives.

Here's how you'll impact the company:

• Be a strategic leader in identifying the best technical and product opportunities. Whether it’s hopping in to build a service from scratch to support a new product line or advocating for a large refactor of a legacy system, this role will have a strong voice in setting the technical and product direction of the company and be hands-on in making it happen. You will likely be asked to lead a team at various points.
• Up-level and set the bar for engineering. You will be a role model for others and establish best practices when it comes to technical decisions, code hygiene, written communication and documentation, and judgment when it comes to shipping high-quality products and projects on a timeline.
• Dive deep into the most important, highest complexity problems at the company. When there is something that needs to get done at high complexity and scale, you’ll be someone we lean on to help get it done. You’ll be given both a lot of autonomy and a lot of support in how you want to tackle tough but rewarding challenges!

Requirements:

• 10+ years experience in designing, building, shipping, and maintaining complex full-stack software at scale
• Experience working in a startup environment and possess the ability to operate effectively and independently when faced with ambiguity
• Flexibility in operating as a pure individual contributor or as a manager of a small team
• Ability to ramp up quickly to our product ecosystem to contribute to large and impactful projects
• Excellent communication skills across technical and non-technical audiences and topics, both written and verbal
• Ability to provide excellent feedback in technical specs, code reviews, and team discussions
• Passion for making a difference in the lives of our users

Exceptional candidates will have:

• A track record of identifying the right problems to solve, advocating for and driving change, and keeping stakeholders in the loop
• Experience successfully leading and managing a team
• Experience with building consumer-facing product(s) for large user bases
• Curiosity and excitement when confronted with new technologies, stacks, or novel problems
• Excellent judgment when trading off speed of shipping vs. robustness and scalability
• The ability to adapt and communicate smoothly across all levels of seniority
• A focus on impact and ability to prioritize both long-term and short term needs
• Eagerness to participate at the strategic level when it comes to the technical and product roadmap and prioritization on the organization-level
• Passion and skill for mentoring and up-leveling other engineers

Join us, and let's build something amazing together!
