Values
The ad says“Excited to experiment with AI tools”
You will work on the backend systems that power Slope’s embedded credit, payments and underwriting
You should be excited by messy, important problems. Your job is to turn ambiguous problems and improvements into reliable production systems
Build and own production systems for underwriting, bank-data review, credit review workflows, portfolio monitoring
Create reusable infrastructure for evidence gathering, decisioning, monitoring, and human-in-the-loop review
Build internal tools that help the credit risk team review data, understand decisions, handle exceptions, and move faster without sacrificing correctness
Clearly communicate technical assumptions, tradeoffs, failure modes, system boundaries, and migration plans
Own ambiguous projects end-to-end: define the problem, propose a path, align across teams, ship production slices, measure, and iterate
Improve the reliability, latency, correctness of systems that directly affect credit decisions and customer experience
You will work on the core systems that determine how Slope understands risk, extends capital, and helps businesses grow
You will have high ownership: small team, important surface area, real production impact
You will report to the CEO and work on mission-critical projects
You will help build the operating system for B2B credit: faster decisions, better workflows, stronger feedback loops, and scalable infrastructure
Preferred experience
Product judgment for internal users. You care whether the system actually improves underwriting decisions and workflows, not just whether the code shipped
Strong production backend experience with Node.js/TypeScript
Excited to experiment with AI tools
A track record of shipping systems where correctness, reliability, and operational clarity matter
Strong plus: Startup experience, especially in a high-ownership environment
Excitement around building AI-native infrastructure and agentic workflows, both within the engineering team as well as broader credit and data science teams
Strong SQL skills and comfort working with relational databases, data warehouses, ETL/data pipelines, and messy real-world data
Experience designing APIs, services, jobs, data models, and contracts that other teams depend on
High agency and proactive: you do not need fully specified tickets, and you know how to create clarity when the problem is vague
Strong written and verbal communication. You can explain tradeoffs, and failure modes
Experience with AWS, Postgres, Snowflake, queues, async jobs, observability tooling, and third-party financial APIs
Experience in payments infrastructure
5+ years of backend engineering experience, preferably in a fast-moving environment
