We're growing our Credit Access team and we need someone who can hit the ground running, take ownership of meaningful work and help lift the people around them. A position in the team has recently opened up, and we're looking for a back-end engineer who doesn't need to be told twice.

What you'll do
Design and build robust back-end systems that support our credit estimate feature across both our website and app
Develop and maintain purpose lending products across our banking platforms including active migration work from legacy to modern systems
