At Beyond Finance, we've made it our mission to help everyday Americans escape the endless cycle of crippling debt and step into a brighter financial future. Through compassionate, individualized care, a culture focused on compliance and ethics, supportive user-centric technology, and customized financial solutions, we've helped over 1 million clients on their path to a brighter future.

While we're proud of what we've already accomplished, we're searching for new collaborators to help us get to the next level! If you're looking to join a forward-thinking, rapidly growing organization with helping people as its number one goal, we want to hear from you.

What You’ll Do

  • Own technical direction and backend architecture for supporting creditor negotiations
  • Prototype new architecture and patterns, and lead the technical projects that strengthen the platform
  • Regularly code review and demonstrate technical leadership over the systems well enough to give good guidance on designs and tradeoffs
  • Partner with product management, QA and SDETs, and other engineering teams to plan, prioritize, and deliver the pod's roadmap
  • Weigh in on the feasibility, cost, and risk of product decisions, and giving alternatives when there's a better path
  • Lead a high-performing team: mentor engineers, staff them on projects that deliver results while growing their skills, and keep the engineering bar high
  • Set and model best practices for code quality, testing, reliability, and scalability, with particular care for data integrity across external integrations and sensitive financial data

What We Look For

  • Experience managing engineering teams
  • 5+ years of experience building and deploying scalable applications in the cloud
  • Experience with Ruby on Rails.
  • Expertise in scoping large projects and initiatives into small iterations for release
  • Clear and efficient communication skills
  • Mentorship skills and the ability to give well-crafted constructive feedback
  • Experience in a startup environment is not required but preferred
