Tech environment
→ JavaScript / TypeScript
→ NestJS, React
→ PostgreSQL, MongoDB
→ AWS, Docker, Terraform
→ CI/CD pipelines
→ AI-assisted development tools (e.g. Cursor / Copilot)
What they’re looking for
→ 3–6 years experience as a Full Stack or Product Engineer
→ Strong JavaScript/TypeScript background
→ Experience building RESTful APIs and working with relational databases
→ Exposure to AWS or similar cloud environments
→ Experience in fintech, lending, or regulated environments (preferred)
→ Startup or early-stage company experience (preferred)
→ Comfortable owning features end-to-end
→ Product-minded, collaborative, and pragmatic engineer
Why this role

→ Real product impact in a regulated, high-growth fintech
→ Strong engineering influence on architecture and tooling
→ Opportunity to shape how AI is used in engineering delivery
