New York, New York, United States January Full time

At January, we're transforming the lives of borrowers by bringing humanity to consumer finance. Our data-driven products empower financial institutions to streamline their collections, providing borrowers with straightforward and compassionate solutions to regain financial stability and control over their lives. We're not just expanding access to credit. We're restoring dignity and paving the way for millions to achieve financial freedom.


About the role:

The Borrower Experience (BX) team at January is reshaping debt collection with a dual focus: boosting January's growth through efficient recoveries and helping borrowers regain financial stability with dignity. Some of the things we work on are:

  • A multi-channel communications engine
  • Software to offer borrowers tailored settlements and payment plans
  • Our payments processing
  • Predictive models

Our mission goes beyond collecting debts; we're committed to humanizing an industry that desperately needs it. Join us in transforming debt collection into a more effective and humane experience.

Senior Software Engineers at January aren't just responsible for writing code. You'll also own product and team outcomes, advocate for borrowers, and help other engineers grow.

The main ways you'll impact the business are:

  • Team Leadership and Strategy. As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll play a pivotal role in shaping the engineering culture and strategy. You'll collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and other engineers to set technical direction, make high-impact decisions, and ensure that the team is aligned with the company's objectives. Your insights will influence your immediate team and contribute to the broader engineering vision at January.
  • Technical Excellence. You'll champion quality in every aspect of the development process. From developing simple solutions and writing unit tests to participating in design discussions and PR reviews, you'll ensure that the software we build is robust, scalable, and meets the highest standards of quality. You'll be responsible for identifying and addressing technical debt, ensuring that the codebase remains clean and manageable.
  • Developing Peers. When you work at January, you work with a team that grows together. Regardless of your current level, you'll share your knowledge of systems, engineering practices, and the problem domain, helping ensure everyone's success. You'll do this through code review, pair programming, documentation, and just plain being supportive.

As the company grows, you will be involved in scoping, architecting, and implementing new product lines. You'll have the opportunity to build new lines of business from scratch.

You might be a fit if you value:

  • Genuine collaboration. We recognize and explicitly reward feedback, alignment, and learning from each other.
  • Managers as advocates. You'll report to leaders invested in your growth and promotion, not just their own. Managers only succeed when their teams thrive.
  • Outcomes over output. We value finding ways to do more with less and working smart instead of burning out.
  • Product ownership. Engineers are owners, not mercenaries. Everyone plays a role in discovering, advocating for, and implementing product ideas.
  • Technical quality. We work collaboratively with our product team to ensure great outcomes without sacrificing quality. Sustainable development is a first-class priority.

What you bring to the table:

  • Minimum of 5 years of experience as a Software Engineer in backend development and platform architecture, with a proven track record of building highly scalable, performant, and reliable systems.
  • Are proficient in at least one modern programming language (Java, Python, Go, etc.)
  • Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
  • Passionate about collaborating with teammates and cross-functional partners.
  • We find that candidates who perform particularly well in this role have full-stack experience.

We are currently hiring for this position in our New York and San Francisco offices.
