With a business model that is aligned with our customers, we create transparent, fair, and simple financial products that put money back in the hands of our members, help them spend wisely, avoid unfair fees and build their credit quickly. If autonomy, ownership, and having meaningful input at the company you work for is important to you, come join our growing team!

Role Overview:
Brigit is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help us scale our next-gen consumer finance platform to millions of users in the next year. Our product has tremendous traction helping low income Americans make ends meet and now is the time to scale. We’ve built a stack of Java microservices in Google Cloud which has served us well thus far, but we need help in making it even better.
Our team has two main goals:
1) Payments: Build upon and support the payment rails used by feature teams within the org, ensuring payment reliability, speed, tracing, and reconciliation.
2) Banking: Scale the underlying bank connectivity used for underwriting by millions of users.
Our team is small and nimble; you'll get an extraordinary amount of autonomy and ownership. More importantly, you have a large say in the direction of the company -- both in terms of our technology and our product.
Recent accomplishments of our team are:
Building a Payments API platform that moves millions of dollars on a daily basis
Implementing the advanced mathematical processes behind our proprietary risk algorithm
Normalizing relational database schema to optimize for performance for over 1 million users.
End to end User notification (via SMS, Email, Push) capabilities
Building internal tools that enable our Customer Support Specialists to help our customers ASAP
One of our greatest strengths is the speed with which we can move. If you want to propose a new way of doing things, we are all ears. If you have an idea for a new feature, we'll be open to it. A new design paradigm? Bring it on.
At Brigit you can enjoy a mature CICD platform with automated deployment processes, an easy-to-use local/staging/production development environment, and teammates willing to fill in the gaps. We automate manual things so we can focus on thinking and building something that helps people.
*This is a full-time role which will operate out of Brigit’s New York office, with the option to work remote 2-3x per week.
What You'll Be Doing:
Reinventing the APIs supporting User flows to ensure a great user experience
Supporting engineers in other pods that utilize our banking / payments rails
Optimizing queries and relational database schema to ensure speedy response times
Implementing algorithms related to monetary transaction evaluation, risk management, income verification, and other predictive models
Converting some of our existing services to the next level by being highly available
Integrating with new 3rd party APIs to serve millions of customers
Decreasing our customer service workload by building improvements to the product or improving our internal automations
What you have:
6+ years of industry Java experience
Experience in the US financial tech space, such ACH and Card money movement
Experience with bank aggregators such as Plaid a plus
REST based services and API development experience
Kubernetes, Docker or other container system experience is a plus
Google Cloud Platform experience is a plus
You are a self-starter, self-motivated, are able to work independently and manage multiple projects under minimal supervision
Experienced with SQL (particularly Postgres), designing and migrating schemas, and writing analytical queries
Experience leading teams or mentoring junior engineers is a plus
You are a self-starter, self-motivated, and able to work independently and manage multiple projects under minimal supervision
