What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Software Engineer, Rocket Ready position at Rocket Money?
ABOUT ROCKET MONEY 🔮
Rocket Money’s mission is to meaningfully improve the financial prosperity of millions of people. Rocket Money offers members a unique understanding of their finances and a suite of valuable services that save them time and money – ultimately giving them a leg up on their financial journey.
ABOUT THE TEAM 🤝
The Rocket Ready team is a new collaboration between Rocket Money and Rocket Mortgage, created with the goal of helping our clients improve their readiness for home ownership. We build technology and product solutions that support both our clients, and the internal teams who work with them. Some of the key products we support include:
- Data pipelines for receiving and enriching eventing data across the company.
- A communication platform for personalized emails, texts, slack messages, and phone calls.
- User-facing public web applications for clients interested in home ownership.
- Internal tools for improving the efficiency of licensed mortgage bankers and consultants.
Our platform—and the capabilities we support—are less than a year old, and much of our work is greenfield application development on apps we’ve built as a small team. At the same time, we interact extensively with existing systems within our larger parent organization. As a result, our days are usually a healthy mix of deep, focused development, alongside collaboration with teams across the company.
A non-exhaustive list of a few technologies we work with frequently include: Python, FastAPI, Pandas, UV, Kafka, Confluent, React, TypeScript, Postgres, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, SalesForce, AWS, and GitHub Actions.
ABOUT THE ROLE 🤹♀️
We’re looking for experienced, full-stack software engineers to own the full lifecycle of turning our team’s ideas and needs into reality. Ideally, you have deep familiarity with our tools and tech stack so you can hit the ground running. Even more importantly, you’re an adaptable learner who’s driven by growth—both your own and that of the organization. You’ll be a great fit if:
- You have an entrepreneurial spirit, and are excited to use your technical skills to positively impact business outcomes.
- You write clean, reliable code across a variety of platforms.
- You have significant professional experience working with one or more of the following: Python, React (or similar frontend framework), Postgres (or a similar relational database).
- You’re naturally collaborative, curious, and communicative, and enjoy ideating with product, marketing, and other engineering teams as much as you love writing code.
- You’re motivated by our mission to help people improve their financial lives, and achieve homeownership.
