Senior Software Engineer - Backend

Welcome to Ned:

At Ned, we’re building infrastructure so lenders can innovate and grow. We’re a customer-obsessed company and excited to cultivate a team that’s dead to create a better backbone for the economy.

How Lenders Use Our Technology:

Lenders across the country now use Ned’s end-to-end system to provide a range of revenue-based financial products which streamlines qualification, disbursement, and collections.

Lenders use Ned’s white label solution to:

• Originate and qualify new borrowers - Customizable applications, business performance verification, review and approval, and contract closing activities
• Facilitate and track revenue-based lending activities* - Capital disbursement, automated revenue-based repayments, loan tracking through completion

Business owners use Ned to:

• Apply and qualify for financing - Provide business information and performance details, engage in review and approval, contract signing
• Automate repayments - Provide visibility into ongoing business performance, keep up with repayments, track overall loan performance, communicate with their lender

Where We Are Headed:

This year we raised a seed round from leading investors, like Impression Ventures, Capital Eleven Ventures, Hustle Fund, Everywhere Ventures , Brooklyn Bridge Ventures, and Forum Ventures.

We’re building fast to extend our white label cash flow lending platform so lenders can deploy a suite of differentiated financial products and qualify strong businesses, which might not have collateral or credit.

What you’ll help build:

As Ned’s Senior Software Engineer, your work will influence virtually all aspects of our business. You’ll collaborate with Ned’s founding team to:

• Create scalable front-end applications that are efficient, reusable abstractions and systems, and which drive high-impact results for lenders across the country
• Gather requirements from customers and accurately translate business needs into functional frontend code
• Work closely with designers and marketing stakeholders to implement versatile front-end solutions that enable lenders to launch cutting edge financial products
• Develop internal tools that enable the business team to closely track the product and customers

Your background:

• 3+ years of experience in a Back-end Software Engineering role.
• Strong knowledge of PHP and OOP.
• Expertise in building and consuming RESTful APIs.
• Experience with Unit and Integration Testing Methodologies
• Strong knowledge of relational databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL).
• Understanding of web security best practices (SSL, encryption, authentication methods).
• Proficiency with GIT version control.
• A self-starter; you can unblock yourself and determine the best path forward when unexpected roadblocks introduce themselves
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).

Does this sound like you?

We’re looking for someone who wants to help set the foundation of something special and build a category-defining technology.

You’re comfortable dealing with moving pieces, you work gracefully across teams and functions, and you can build consensus with those that have different perspectives.
What’s more, you thrive in a feedback-driven culture and while you sweat the small stuff, you don’t do so too much.

Most importantly, you’re also not shy of taking on the big problems.

We believe that our technology will make lending more inclusive and we hope you would want to rally behind that work. To that end, you’re excited to engage problems at a macro level and self-start to learn new technologies, systems, and engage across new domains to make progress with your team.

If this speaks to you, we’d love to meet!
