Role
Who you are
- 2+ yrs experience building scalable web applications on the cloud using microservices architecture

- Proficient with RESTful API development and integration

Desirable

What the job involves
- As a Full Stack Developer on Borrowell’s Platform Engineering team, you will design, develop, optimize, test, and maintain application code
- You will ensure that software meets both the technical and business requirements that guided its design, while mentoring and knowledge sharing with others in the team so everyone can grow together
- You will be involved in the technical roadmap of upcoming net new products and you will see how your hard work directly impacts the lives of more than 3 million people using the Borrowell marketplace
- Your role will involve building new systems and enhancing our current systems
Application process
- We believe in fast, lean, and efficient processes and that trickles into every aspect of our work, including hiring. That means we don't think you need to jump through 8 hoops to land the role. Interviewing for this role is typically done in 4 steps:
- A conversation with a recruiter
- A live pair programming challenge and discussion that is grounded in being practical, realistic, and open book - we're trying to understand your skills holistically, not trying to see how much you can memorize algorithms
- A system design challenge that does not involve coding
- A conversation with a senior leader
Our take
The world of personal finance has always been difficult to navigate, but the enormous range of digital Fintech products and services available these days has made it more challenging. There are hundreds of businesses providing loans, credit cards, mortgages, insurance, and banking services, and it is difficult to know which ones to choose without education and a credit check.
Borrowell provides a free credit scoring and financial education service, providing Canadians with a free weekly credit score and helping them to choose appropriate financial services. This is achieved through offering free tips and financial education content before recommending relevant companies, helping users to find the financial tools they need whilst connecting fintech companies with new customers.
The oversaturation of companies in the fintech industry makes finding the right financial tools overwhelming, and therefore Borrowell’s approach of advising users on finding the right services is a smart one. By offering the credit checking and product recommendation service for free, the company encourages Canadian citizens to be smart with their money whilst helping companies acquire new customers.
