The role:

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer with a natural inclination to solve complex problems. You will play a pivotal role in the design and implementation of systems that power our home screen and other core experiences!

This role requires a deep expertise in building distributed systems, familiarity with cross-functional collaboration, and a strategic ability to align engineering initiatives with business objectives.

As a Senior Engineer, you’ll be in the middle of it all. You’ll work across functional and organizational boundaries to ship new features, improve our system architecture, squash bugs, and hone your technical skills. The ideal candidate is both forward-thinking and hands-on, has a strong sense of ownership and delivery, and is a good mentor and co-worker.

What you’ll do:
  • Produce well-designed, scalable, and reusable code on schedule
  • Deliver highly available and scalable services in a production environment
  • Define technical architecture for the product
  • Develop and improve systems that impact multiple teams
  • Track project performance against defined milestones/goals
  • Mentor other engineers and support the technical culture
  • Create and improve technical documentation

What you’ll need:
  • Bachelor’s degree (ideally in a technical field), but we understand great engineers come from a variety of backgrounds; we will also consider relevant work experience
  • 5+ years programming experience, ideally on a modern stack
  • Our core stack is Kotlin / Spring / PostgreSQL, and we run on Kubernetes in a service oriented architecture with over 100 services in production
  • You should have 2+ years Java or Kotlin programming experience
  • You should have a strong understanding of relational databases
  • You should have worked on a SOA or microservice based application
  • Experience working with asynchronous systems and event based systems (queues, streams)
  • Pragmatic approach towards handling tech debt versus shipping new features

Nice to have:
  • Experience integrating Large Language Models (LLM) into products
  • Experience scaling highly available, mission critical systems
  • Full-stack experience across backend and frontend
  • History of building digital products in the financial space
