Company mission
To accelerate and simplify workflows while helping community financial institutions grow, scale and serve their consumers and communities.
Role
Who you are
- 5+ years building, scaling, and running production software
- Strong full-stack skills, with depth in modern front-end development and typed backend systems
- Experience building reliable products with React and relational data, including integrations with third-party and public APIs such as OpenAI or Anthropic Claude
- Current, hands-on experience using AI coding tools and reviewing their output
- Strong product judgment, clear written communication, and a bias toward simple solutions
- The autonomy to own outcomes and the judgment to bring others in when it matters
What the job involves
- AI agents are part of our engineering workflow, not an experiment
- They handle meaningful implementation work; engineers set direction, review the output, and own what ships
- You will use our agents, improve them, and help build what comes next
- Own member- and credit-union-facing features from idea through production, planning pragmatic solutions for rising traffic and data volume
- Build across our TypeScript stack: React 19, React Router 7, Tailwind CSS, Hono, and Drizzle/Postgres, with AWS infrastructure managed through SST/Pulumi across Lambda, SQS, EventBridge, and S3. Experience with Terraform, AWS CDK, or similar infrastructure-as-code tools transfers well
- Turn product needs into simple, reliable experiences and integrations
- Monitor production, investigate issues, and improve what you ship
- Partner with design, customers, and stakeholders to make practical product decisions
Our take
MeridianLink provides modern software platforms for financial institutions and consumer reporting agencies. Specifically, it powers digital lending and account opening for the former and data verifications for the latter.
The company has been trusted for over 20 years and has remained adaptable and open to change with the industry, such as its recent addition of engagement features that offer new ways to help financial services drive growth, reach target audiences and adjust campaigns to meet business and customer needs. It has therefore maintained a number of impressive customers, from BankPlus and American United to FirstBank and TwinStar.
Building on this track record, MeridianLink was recently acquired by Centerbridge Partners, marking an important step forward. Going private in this $2B deal gives the company flexibility to accelerate innovation, expand its platform, and leverage AI and data more effectively. With Centerbridge's support, MeridianLink is in a good position to strengthen its competitive edge and continue helping financial institutions grow in a rapidly evolving market.
