Job Description: About the role
This is an exciting opportunity to join a Series A startup working to democratize access to affordable credit in an industry with over $1 trillion dollars in annual transaction flow.

As an early Backend Engineer at Yendo, you will work with a small team of experienced engineers, product managers, and designers to build our product.

Our team is small and lean — your responsibilities will include everything from expanding our product offering to evolving our code standards to improving our operational efficiency.

This is a senior level role with competitive salary and equity incentives.

What we're looking for
Desire to work collaboratively. Engineers participate in the product development cycle from start to finish. We operate on the principle that the best products include input from our users and our engineering, product, and design teams.

Help with raising the bar! We strive to improve our customer experience, our hiring standards, and our engineering practices. As part of a small team, you can meaningfully contribute across all of these fronts.

Resiliency. We are not a “me too” product. This requires experimentation and grit to find solutions for our customers’ problems.

Who you are
5+ years of experience with backend or full stack solutions (e.g., Go (Preferred), TypeScript, Java, Python, or Ruby)

Prefer experience with Postgres, Redis, and AWS, but not required.

Enjoy thinking about systems — their life cycles, edge cases, interactions, and failure modes.

Self-starter and able to work independently.

Experience in fintech, payments, processing, card networks, banking, or early stage startup is helpful, but not required.

Passionate about financial inclusion and mobility.
