This empowers everyone to a great extent - by sharing responsibility and decision-making amongst all colleagues.

YOUR NEW TEAM

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Offers and Checkout team. Our mission is to empower loan customers through effortless and transparent digital services that are trustworthy and self-serving.

We are organized in a cross-functional team with Frontend, Fullstack, Backend, QA and Design roles working closely with our Product Owner and stakeholders.

What You Will Be Doing

• Develop backend services in a data-intensive distributed environment using GoLang or NodeJS, deploying on AWS Lambda and Kubernetes, utilizing various other Cloud Products, and interfacing with React/Typescript frontends.
