Job description

We are a fintech company on a mission to level the financial playing field for hard-working Americans by building products that help users better manage their financial future. Founded in 2018 and backed by $22.5M in funding from top-tier investors including Goodwater Capital, Unusual Ventures, Obvious Ventures, Fika Ventures, and Defy.vc, we’ve already helped thousands of users access cash advances, build credit, optimize taxes, and more. The company operates a high-velocity cash advance product processing thousands of transactions daily, serving subprime customers who have been underserved by traditional financial institutions. We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer with 2-5 years of experience to help rebuild and scale our cash advance platform from a scrappy prototype into a system capable of processing hundreds of millions in originations. You’ll be a generalist who can take a business outcome and drive the technology end-to-end, working across distributed systems, financial infrastructure, data pipelines, and internal tooling. What will you be doing?

Rebuilding core backend systems (ledger, transaction processing, payment integrations) to support 5-10x growth in advance originations
Building high-reliability, high-scale collection systems that make targeted transactions across thousands of small-cap advances daily
Ingesting and processing massive volumes of customer banking data from partners to power underwriting and collection decisions
