Senior Software Engineer, Backend (Money) / Contract / Remote

Motion Recruitment • San Francisco, California, United States • $66 - $86 / hour • 2w ago

Our large finance and advisory client is looking for a contract Senior Software Engineer, Backend (Money). This is a remote role.

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to play a pivotal role in our Money product architecture transformation, focusing on the evolution of our banking core and the implementation of enhanced account structures, including readiness for new products like CDs. This position involves maturing our central member-facing services, particularly in areas such as entitlements, permissions, and data management, which are critical to supporting integrated product offerings. You’ll be working within a highly collaborative environment where planning and executing through a unified campaign lens is essential due to the complexity and interdependencies of these initiatives.

As a senior software engineer, you’ll be in the middle of it all – you’ll work with stakeholders to implement functionality, architect our systems, squash bugs, and continually grow as an engineer. The ideal candidate is both forward-thinking and hands-on, has a strong sense of ownership and drive for delivery, and is a good mentor and co-worker. At our client, we pride ourselves on the collaboration between Product, Design and Engineering and so you will be involved in the entire product lifecycle, from ideation through building, deploying and continual improvement and evolution - and you’ll be working with an all-star team of talented engineers.
