Job description
Streamline is a financial technology platform transforming how automotive lenders and dealers work together. Our platform connects lender underwriting guidelines to dealers in real time, helping them select the right vehicles for customers while improving loan quality and funding volume. Incubated inside West Herr Automotive Group, Streamline is now expanding nationwide with major lender partners and thousands of dealer users.

You will be our second internal engineering hire, working directly with leadership and external development partners while helping shape the technical direction of the product. This role offers real technical ownership across architecture, integrations, and platform evolution.
As our president often says, we're focused on getting the right people on the bus. Preference will be given to candidates located in Buffalo, NY, though remote candidates will be considered for the right person.
