Senior Software Engineer - backend for a mission driven, fully funded startup

The company is a fully-funded, mission-driven fintech company focused on bringing inclusion to credit and lending. Backed by the same people behind Chime, Square, Revolut, Step, and Brex, we’re democratizing credit for the 160 million Americans who struggle to access mainstream financial services, providing a path toward a financially healthy future.

We’re taking a radically different approach by leveraging alternative data to offer consumers access to low-interest credit and the ability to grow their credit limits over time as they learn, save, budget, and set goals. Backed by behavioral finance, our integrated financial literacy system helps customers use credit responsibly and develops a proprietary underwriting platform that can expand access to other financial products all at fair rates.
