Software Engineering – Senior Engineer

What You'll Contribute

• Design, build, and operate secure, scalable Java microservices that power the myFICO.com platform — from concept through production.
• Ship LLM-powered features (RAG pipelines, agentic workflows, tool-use patterns) with the same engineering rigor - observability, evals, and guardrails - you'd apply to any critical service.
• Use AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot) to accelerate delivery, while exercising the judgment to review, refactor, and reject generated output where appropriate.
• Drive design discussions and code reviews, raising the bar for code quality, test coverage, and architectural clarity.
• Partner with product management, InfoSec, and platform teams to translate business requirements into compliant, effective technical solutions.
• Identify and resolve performance and scalability bottlenecks through profiling, refactoring, and architectural improvements.

What We're Seeking

• Extensive hands-on experience with core Java, Spring Boot, and microservices architecture, with deep proficiency in deploying and operating services on AWS with Docker and Kubernetes.
• Hands-on experience integrating LLM APIs (Anthropic, Bedrock, OpenAI) into production Java services.
• Working knowledge of both SQL (PostgreSQL, SQL Server, MySQL) and NoSQL (DynamoDB, MongoDB, Cassandra) databases, including when to choose which.
• Strong foundation in application security: encryption, authentication, authorization, and secure API design.
• Proven experience tuning high-throughput, low-latency systems for performance and reliability and fluency with event-driven architectures and asynchronous messaging patterns (Kafka, SQS, EventBridge, or similar).
• Experience with modern engineering practices: CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and automated testing at multiple levels (unit, integration, contract).
• Proven experience with high-traffic consumer facing platform experience and a strong advocate for rigorous coding standards and a quality-first mindset — clean, secure, well-tested code.
• Exceptional communication skills; able to articulate design tradeoffs with architects, engineers, and product partners.
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or a related field (or equivalent work experience in relevant industry); AWS certifications a plus.

Our Offer to You

• An inclusive culture strongly reflecting our core values: Act Like an Owner, Delight Our Customers, and Earn the Respect of Others.
• The opportunity to make an impact and develop professionally by leveraging your unique strengths and participating in valuable learning experiences.
• Highly competitive compensation, benefits, and rewards programs that encourage you to bring your best every day and be recognized for doing so.
• An engaging, people-first work environment offering work/life balance, employee resource groups, and social events to promote interaction and camaraderie.
