Lead Fullstack Engineer

You will help build the next generation of how our customers interface & apply for financing with Koalafi. Within the team you will champion and drive our front-end strategy as it continues to mature, and furthermore you will share your learnings with the broader Tech organization to help refine strategy within Tech as a whole. You’ll develop in the latest technologies as we continue to modernize legacy systems by moving to cloud-based micro-service platform(s), all while focusing on improving the customer experience by making it faster, simpler, and easier to use.

We want to deploy solutions early and often to find out what works and what doesn't, but we also want to ensure we are doing so in a targeted and analytical manner. Our new ecosystem utilizes technologies across the stack, including but not limited to: React, GoLang, Postgres, and Kubernetes within AWS. These services work in tandem with our legacy platforms, which are still a part of our core business and must be maintained as we continue to decommission them piece by piece. If you're a skilled engineer with the ability to learn and adapt, we would love to hear from you!
