Job Description

We are looking for an experienced, self-driven, application developer to join our team in designing and building a core banking solution from the ground up. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of an up-and-coming internet-based bank looking to leave behind outdated and old-fashioned banking systems and processes. We do not accept “well, that’s how it has always been done”. You will work with a small team of software engineers and other IT professionals as part of the permanent cloud software support team augmented by contracted staff that will assist during the build project. This position will play a key role in developing the cloud architecture and systems. You will be working in the Microsoft technology stack, so experience with .NET and Azure is highly preferred (equivalent AWS experience will be considered). The ideal candidate will have experience in modern scalable web application architectures and working within an Agile project framework. Preference will be given to individuals with banking experience and to candidates who would be available to work in our office part-time (though full-time remote will be considered). Our ideal candidate is a self-starter with the ability to organize own work, initiate best practice, meet deadlines, evaluate and use cutting-edge tools, collaborate with on-site and remote team members, and most importantly, be an awesome human.
