Backend Software Engineer at Self Financial

Self Financial is a venture-backed, high-growth FinTech company with a mission to increase economic inclusion and financial resilience by empowering people to build credit and build savings.

We're looking for people who share our passion and are driven to tackle challenges, find solutions and make the financial space better for the communities we serve.

Our team is passionate about challenging the status quo of the credit industry by providing people accessible tools to take control of their credit. Executing on our mission requires deep collaboration across our teams to ensure our products reach the people who can benefit from them the most, particularly the 100 million+ Americans who have no or low credit.

We're a growing team of passionate engineers working with modern technology to help people build credit and savings. We’ve rebuilt and launched our website and our mobile app in the last year, which now serves thousands of customers. We launched our second product, a secured credit card to give our customers access to their savings.

About the role:

Develop and launch our banking core.
Develop the services and infrastructure needed to provide essential customer-facing solutions at a massive scale.
Work closely with product owners and your product manager to build tools and systems required for us to service our financial products to our large customer base.
Report to an engineering manager and work with our amazing team of professional engineers.

Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related technical discipline.
2+ years of software engineering experience.
Solid understanding and application of computer science fundamentals: data structures, algorithms and design patterns.
Experience with the development of Python/Flask code in a production environment.
Experience with SQL and relational databases such as PostgreSQL.
Experience in the container space such as Docker.
Experience with AWS and other related cloud architectures/services is a plus.
Experience with common software engineering tools such as Git (or other VCS), JIRA, confluence and similar platforms.

Benefits and Perks:

We have the compensation and benefits you expect. But, there's one thing that Self Financial can offer that many startups cannot: we can positively change the world, while making a profit. We are a team of Builders, empowering our customers to build their dreams. We have a Do the Right Thing ethos in all that we do, and we hope you value that approach, too.

Our perks include:

Stock options
Quarterly performance-based bonuses
Generous employer-paid health, vision and dental insurance coverage
Flexible vacation policy
Educational assistance
Free gym membership
Free at-home workout through Sworkit
Casual dress code
Team building events and activities
Remote work arrangements/ flexible work schedule

Self Financial requires all employees hired to successfully pass a background check.

We are an Equal Opportunity Employer.
