We are looking for a Software Engineer to join our rapidly growing FinTech company. The Software Engineer will be a key player in the design, coding, testing and deployment of technical output. Our team will teach you the ins and outs of our technology stack and how to be a successful software engineer in our high-energy and fast-paced environment.

Who You Are:

• You have a solid understanding of computer science principles and can't wait to apply them.
• You love learning new things and are able to pick up new concepts and technologies quickly.
• You are passionate about creating new technology products to modernize the financial industry.
• You embody our culture and values

What you’ll do:

• You will be part of a dynamic team that loves what they do and collaborates to drive innovative solutions in a brand new technology space that is modernizing the financial industry.
• You will produce a work output by taking a complex user story, breaking it down into sub-tasks, and completing the sub-tasks with relative ease – own design, coding, testing all the way through deployment of each of those sub-tasks.
• You will identify and proactively tackle technical problems before it grows into something that requires significant up-front work to resolve. A rule of thumb is to start looking into root cause of issues whenever there is noise. There is no smoke without fire.
• You will strike the right balance between fixing the problem at hand and focusing on finding the root cause of problem. For example, if it’s a production issue the priority is to fix the immediate problem and collect all the data necessary for root cause analysis. In a non-production environment, the focus should be on finding the root cause and fixing it the right way to make sure the problem doesn’t occur again.
