Role
Who you are
- Most of the work we need to do is backend-oriented but we are open to candidates from a broad set of roles (full stack, backend, QA engineers, SREs, etc.) if you meet our requirements
- 5+ years of relevant coding experience
- Professional experience developing substantial Python applications
- Strong analytical & problem-solving skills
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills
- Someone with a high agency and proactivity, who’s led projects and solutions
- Eagerness to work in a sustainably paced, collaborative environment
- US work authorization. We can support visa transfers/etc. but can’t currently sponsor new visas
What the job involves
- Our Engineering team is small but mighty, building and maintaining the product and platform driving >$10M in annual recurring revenue
- We enable (and expect) engineers to take on significant ownership and responsibility, including leading projects and initiatives, working with product managers and customers to define and implement features, and collaborating with our sales and marketing teams on launching and scaling products and features
- You’ll have a lot of autonomy and will be most successful if you have high agency and are resilient in the face of challenges
- Be an independent individual contributor who can solve problems and deliver high-quality solutions with minimal/high-level oversight
- Operate effectively within Truework's technology stack throughout the product life cycle (design, development, delivery, operation & maintenance)
- Understand the desired outcome of your projects, take ownership of deciding the best way to deliver that outcome, and be accountable for ultimately achieving the outcome
- Collaborate effectively within Engineering, with other EPD functions (product/design) and GTM functions (sales/marketing/support) to solve problems, resolve incidents, deliver products and features, and ultimately satisfy customer needs
- Intentionally participate in and engage with our hybrid team (and hopefully have fun while doing so!)
- Participate in our engineering on-call rotation
Our take
Lenders and landlords might get in touch with employers to verify an employee’s income - but until recently, it was still a fairly manual process. Truework is looking to change that, with a plug-in for HR systems that allows departments to instantly answer and verify income queries. It also offers pre-employment background checks for U.S. citizens.
It’s a simple tool, but it’s one that will save HR departments substantial amounts of time and labor costs. With HR departments busier than ever, and with companies on the whole sinking more of their budgets into bolstering them, this could create a strong market for Truework.
What’s a strong market for Truework, however, is a strong market for its income verification startup rivals too - and they’re performing well. Tink has recently been acquired by VISA, and Pinwheel and Argyle are both attracting good funding.
Some reports suggest that this is because increasing market uncertainty is pushing lenders to invest more in optimizing loan approvals. If this persists, it’s one more thing massaging an already lucrative market niche in which Truework has firmly established itself and raised investmed of almost $95 million to date.
