About our Software Engineering Team:

Our Software Engineering team is one of the largest in Chicago. We put the “Tech” in FinTech and are accountable for developing top notch products for our customers. We are structured into full-stack Agile teams, each aligned to core business lines and services, but no team is a silo. Our collaborative environment promotes continuous learning and innovation across our teams:

Product - We build high quality applications and services at every level, from customer facing to backend accounting and payment solutions. We strive to make the customer experience, throughout the entire lifecycle of their loan, to be as seamless and as simple as possible. 

Data and Decisioning - We work on building pipelines and tools to help get data quicker to the decision makers and model builders, focusing especially on that “last mile” of data — understanding the business need for data across multiple groups and then using our software / AWS skills to develop data solutions to meet that need.

Platform- We enable faster, continuous, and safer development by building and maintaining tooling and solutions that address engineering challenges across our application platforms.

We primarily code in Ruby, Go and Java. Not Familiar? No problem! We want engineers from diverse backgrounds and have created a self-paced training program to get you up to speed during your first few weeks with us. Beyond this, our teams organize hackathons and tech talks for additional learning, monthly town halls to keep everyone ‘in the know,' affinity and advocacy groups, and even a tech pumpkin carving contest!

Our business is growing and we need smart, curious, passionate folks from all backgrounds to help us build the technology that makes us successful. This is where you come in! Are you ready to grow with us?
