About the role
At The ReWork Group, we partner with high-growth startups and forward-thinking companies to build the future.
To support our client's immediate platform endeavors, we're on the lookout for a talented Software Engineer; This FinTech leader's engineering teams are scaling rapidly to meet ambitious technical challenges across borrower experience, client operations, and compliance infrastructure.
As a Software Engineer , you'll own end-to-end delivery of meaningful features that directly impact how millions of people interact with debt resolution. Every feature you ship — whether it's personalizing payment options, streamlining compliance workflows, or building AI-powered support tools.
You'll work independently on complex technical problems while collaborating effectively across engineering, product, and operations teams. This role requires engineers who thrive in ambiguity, communicate trade-offs clearly, and take initiative to solve problems before they become blockers. You'll contribute to a culture where AI-powered innovation transforms consumer finance, with opportunities to tackle challenges that stretch your capabilities and accelerate your growth into senior-level technical leadership.
What You'll Do:
Own Feature Delivery End-to-End
Drive Technical Excellence with Business Context
Navigate Ambiguity and Accelerate Team Velocity
Elevate Code Quality and Engineering Standards
Embrace AI-Driven Innovation

You'll contribute to a culture where AI-powered innovation transforms consumer finance, with opportunities to tackle challenges that stretch your capabilities and accelerate your growth into senior-level technical leadership.
What You'll Do:
Own Feature Delivery End-to-End
- Independently scope, design, and ship features across the stack — from targeted enhancements to multi-system integrations
- Make architectural decisions within your scope that balance long-term maintainability with immediate delivery pressure
- Identify and resolve technical blockers proactively, escalating strategically when you've exhausted reasonable options
Drive Technical Excellence with Business Context
- Translate product requirements into technical solutions, probing for edge cases and constraints that partners may not have considered
- Articulate trade-offs between technical approaches using concrete examples: performance implications, development time, operational complexity, and user impact
- Contribute meaningfully to technical discussions with data-driven recommendations, pushing back constructively when proposals create technical debt
Navigate Ambiguity and Accelerate Team Velocity
- Work effectively when requirements are unclear or changing, asking clarifying questions that expose hidden assumptions and unblock progress
- Reduce coordination overhead by anticipating dependencies — notifying other teams before your work affects them
- Take ownership of problems outside your immediate scope when they block team progress
Elevate Code Quality and Engineering Standards
- Write maintainable, well-tested code that other engineers can build upon without extensive context
- Provide thoughtful code review feedback that catches not just bugs but architectural issues before they compound
- Contribute to technical documentation and knowledge sharing that reduces onboarding friction and scales team effectiveness
Embrace AI-Driven Innovation
- Actively use AI tools (Cursor, Copilot, ChatGPT) to accelerate development velocity and code quality
- Identify opportunities where AI capabilities can improve product features or internal workflows
- Share learnings about effective AI usage patterns with your team\
What You'll Bring
- 3-5 years of backend software engineering experience
- Strong proficiency in at least one backend language (Python, Java, Go, or similar) with ability to write clean, testable code
- Solid understanding of APIs, databases, and web technologies
- Experience providing constructive code review feedback that improves team standards
