About the Role:

As a Full Stack Developer on Borrowell’s Engineering team, you will design, develop, optimize, test, and maintain application code for in-house web and mobile products. You will ensure that software meets both the technical and business requirements that guided its design.

You will be involved in the technical roadmap of upcoming net new products and you will see how your hard work directly impacts the lives of 3 million people using the Borrowell marketplace. Specifically, maintenance of existing products will happen in any role, but this isn't one of those roles where the majority of your job is maintaining something that was already created. Instead, a large chunk of your time will be spent on working in cross-functional teams (with Product, Engineering, QA, Automation, and others) to experiment, explore, and build new products and functionalities from the ground up.

• Working experience building scalable web micro frontend applications on the cloud, preferably in microservices architecture. Our back end is .NET 8 on Azure, but we are open to all technical backgrounds.
• Knowledge of modern JavaScript front-end frameworks. We primarily use React, React Native (Expo), and Typescript, with some Angular.

Nice to Have

• Knowledge of Microsoft Azure
• Demonstrated proficiency with SQL and NoSQL databases

That's it! After each step, we will follow up within the week.

At Borrowell, one of our core values and firm beliefs is that diversity makes us better. If you’re unsure about your qualifications for this position, we’d still encourage you to apply. We’re looking for candidates who have experience, but know that not everyone’s had a chance to demonstrate what they can do. What’s most important is that you have a growth mindset and care about helping people with their finances - an area in their lives that causes a lot of stress.

Borrowell encourages applications from candidates with differing abilities. Please let us know if you require accommodation at any stage in the selection process.
