We’re looking for our next Senior Software Engineer. Could It Be You?

We're building the next-generation Loan Origination System for Questbank's Secured Lending business — a distributed, event-sourced platform that powers how we take a loan from application to funding. It's a microservices architecture on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), designed from the ground up with Domain-Driven Design, Event Sourcing, and CQRS. As a Senior Software Engineer on this team, you'll be a senior individual contributor who owns a domain end to end — from technical decisions, architecture, and code reviews to production incidents. You'll work across a .NET backend and an Angular frontend, shaping the technical direction of your domain and influencing architecture decisions across services. Operating in a complex, regulated financial services and mortgage servicing environment, curiosity about business context matters as much as technical skill: we need someone who thinks like an owner, understands the business problem behind the ticket, and helps shape the product rather than just executing work.
