Job Description
Who you are
You have 5+ years of experience building and scaling production systems — you've owned services from design through deployment and have navigated the complexities of developing software that meets rigorous security and compliance standards. You thrive in ambiguity and take initiative, enjoying the challenge of owning systems end-to-end. Your strong fundamentals in software engineering allow you to learn quickly and adapt to new technologies as needed.
You communicate technical complexity clearly and appropriately depending on the audience — you listen actively and humbly to feedback, understanding that great software is built by teams, not individuals. You are comfortable leveraging AI tools to enhance productivity and improve product quality without sacrificing standards. Your builder’s mindset drives you to innovate and create impactful solutions in the financial technology space.

As a Senior Software Engineer at Kikoff, you will play a pivotal role in launching an enterprise platform that major financial institutions will depend on daily. You will have significant ownership over the platform architecture, establishing development practices, and approaching complex credit workflows. Your architectural decisions and technical choices will directly influence how we build and scale this initiative.
You will collaborate closely with a small, focused team, contributing to the product strategy and balancing speed with the rigorous security and compliance requirements that come with handling credit data at scale. Your insights will help shape the direction of the product, ensuring it meets the needs of our users while adhering to industry standards.
What we offer
At Kikoff, we offer a dynamic work environment where your contributions will have a direct impact on the financial confidence of millions of Americans. You will be part of a mission-driven team that values innovation and collaboration. We encourage you to apply even if your experience doesn't match every requirement — your unique perspective could be just what we need to succeed. Join us in redefining how people build financial confidence and access smarter financial products.
