We're looking for a Senior Fullstack Engineer to join our engineering team and help build and scale a modern commercial software platform.

You’ll be working with Node.js and AWS, developing and integrating solutions across originations, payments, fraud, and financial infrastructure.

A key part of the role is using AI development tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, Git Hub Copilot, or similar platforms to build, improve, test, and ship production software efficiently.
