Senior Software Engineer, Backend at Human Interest

At Human Interest, we are on a mission to ensure that everyone, regardless of their line of work, has access to meaningful retirement benefits. Nearly half of all working Americans struggle to save for their future because their employers do not offer retirement plans. We are changing that reality by making it affordable and accessible for small and medium-sized businesses to provide their employees with a path toward financial independence. As a high-growth company backed by top-tier investors like BlackRock and TPG, we are looking for a talented Senior Software Engineer to join our remote-first team and help us build the future of retirement services.

What you'll be doing

• Design, build, and maintain business-critical software systems that process and record retirement savings for our customers.
• Improve complex, high-volume workflows to ensure they are robust, performant, and require minimal human intervention.
• Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to make informed engineering decisions and deliver clean, reliable, and testable code.

What you'll bring

You are a seasoned engineer with at least 7 years of professional experience in backend development. You thrive in environments that require building highly scalable transaction processing and automation engines. Your technical toolkit includes deep knowledge of cloud infrastructure, performance analysis, and both SQL and NoSQL database technologies. You are a collaborative leader who enjoys mentoring others, and you possess a strong sense of ownership over your work. You are comfortable leading projects even when requirements are unclear, and you are always looking for ways to improve system reliability and maintainability. Proficiency in English is required for this role.

What you'll get

The base salary for this position ranges from $185,000 to $220,000, depending on your location and experience. In addition to your base pay, we offer a comprehensive suite of benefits designed to support your physical, financial, and mental well-being:

• A competitive 401(k) plan with a dollar-for-dollar employer match up to 4% of compensation.
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance plans.
• Generous paid time off and parental leave policies.
• The flexibility of a 100% remote work environment.
