As passionate about our people as we are about our mission.
Why Join Q2?
Q2 is a leading provider of digital banking and lending solutions to banks, credit unions, alternative finance companies, and fintechs in the U.S. and internationally. Our mission is simple: build strong and diverse communities through innovative financial technology-and we do that by empowering our people to help create success for our customers.

Being as passionate about our people as we are about our mission. We celebrate our employees in many ways through our year-round Q2 ChangeMakers awards program and global moments of recognition and connection. We invest in the growth and development of our team members through ongoing learning opportunities, internal mobility, and meaningful leadership relationships.

The Team
The Targeted Experiences team builds and evolves SMART, Q2's personalization and targeting platform for digital banking.
SMART turns real-time behavioral, transactional, and partner data into actionable insights that can be activated across digital banking experiences and external systems. In addition to building the platform itself, the team owns partner enablement - ensuring SMART is reliable, well-documented, and ready for consumption by external developers, fintech partners, and marketing platforms.
The team is intentionally multi-disciplinary and owns the stack end to end, bringing together engineers with backgrounds in backend and frontend software engineering, data engineering, and data science. As SMART evolves, the team's scope will continue to expand beyond a single product toward broader targeted and personalized experience capabilities across Q2's ecosystem.

In this role, you will work closely with experienced engineers to design, implement, test, and operate cloud-native, data-driven services that power personalization and targeted experiences across Q2's platform and partner ecosystem. This is a production-focused role where you will gradually take on more responsibility as you gain experience working with real-world systems and data.
