• Debug and troubleshoot issues in development and production environments with guidance from senior engineers
• Collaborate with senior engineers and teammates to understand system design decisions and implementation details
• Partner with Product, Design, and other engineering teams to deliver features
• Continuously improve technical skills and system understanding by seeking feedback and asking questions
• Contribute to team discussions and share ideas for improving systems and processes
• Participate in on-call rotations with support from the team
• Assist in investigating and resolving production issues
• Provide input on new initiatives and technological advancements
• Learn about new technologies, tools, and processes to build your skill set and shape your career

What You'll Need:

• You have graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or a related major (Spring 2026 New Grads or within 1 year of graduation)
• You are available to start working immediately in June 2026
• Previous intern experience with software engineering is required
• No more than 12 months of professional full-time work experience (excluding internships and research assistant roles)
• Reside in the United States and attend a university in the US
• Experience with JVM-based languages (Java or Kotlin) and frameworks like Spring Boot
• Basic understanding of distributed systems concepts (e.g., APIs, databases, service communication)
• Experience building or consuming APIs
• Expertise with any modern object-oriented programming languages, Java frameworks, REST APIs and relational databases is a great start
• Understanding of SQL and NoSQL database principles
• Willingness to roll up your sleeves, collaborate with others and get stuff done
• Solid sense of responsibility and ownership; driving a project from inception to completion
• Affinity for solving problems and diving deep into the details
• Good communication skills and willingness to learn from others
• Experience working in a collaborative coding environment, refining designs together, working through code reviews, and managing pull requests
• Works effectively with others to take initiative and build stable working relationships

Nice to Have:

• Exposure to financial systems, payments, or fintech products.
