You might know us from our founder and CEO, Dave Ramsey, who's given no-nonsense money advice on the radio since 1992. Three decades later, Ramsey Solutions is a household name in personal finance, with a mission to change the toxic money culture for good.

• Health insurance (includes plans eligible for an HSA—with a company match up to $500!)
• 401(k) retirement plan with 4% match/company contribution
• Annual wellness, counseling and grocery membership reimbursement
• On-campus cafe with subsidized pricing for breakfast, lunch and coffee bar
• Dependent care FSA
• Tons of cultural activities, like weekly devotional, leadership development courses, Battle of the Bands, and one epic Christmas party!

Ramsey Solutions Headquarters is located just outside of Nashville in Franklin, Tennessee. We value our strong, unified company culture because we believe the best work is done together. That’s why all of our team members work on-site under the same roof. But work-life balance is also important to us, so we offer flexible work schedules to take the stress out of appointments, family obligations and other needs that may pop up.

While every team member has a designated workspace (with an electronic sit-stand desk), our campus was designed to house a variety of unique work and play zones (e.g., quiet library space, coffee bar/lounge areas, recreational game zone, and outside/patio work and break areas).

You'll own the technical vision for Ramsey Connect, an AI-powered pro directory that maps Ramsey's principles to vetted pros across the Trusted ecosystem, connecting the millions of people living the Ramsey plan with the professionals who help them execute it. As the engineering leader for a small, high-velocity squad, you'll stand beside the Senior Director of Product as a true partner and work directly with executive leadership to set product direction and the technical strategy to get there.

This is a leadership role: you'll own hiring, growth, and the health of the engineering team, and you'll be the person the product leader turns to when something breaks, something’s impossible, or something’s about to ship that shouldn’t. You'll stay hands-on, writing code yourself when it helps, while AI-augmented development, already central to how this team builds, does a real share of the implementation.

You'll shape how the team puts that leverage to work, calibrating where AI can move fast and where a careful human hand still matters most.

• You've led engineering on a consumer-facing web product through a critical growth stage, whether that’s MVP to scale, a platform shift, or both, and you know what it takes to make a fragile product solid.
• You have progressive software engineering experience and have led a team before, operating at the director level or as the de facto engineering leader who owns engineering decisions, not just opinions.
• You're comfortable writing code yourself, even if it’s a modest slice of your week, and just as comfortable presenting technical strategy to executive leadership.
• You're genuinely excited about AI-augmented development as a core…
